Although most people hope for an uninterrupted night of sleep to wake up refreshed and energized, this is not always the case. Some people experience an active night's sleep that results in feeling tired the next day. They may have difficulty falling asleep, wake up frequently, toss and turn, and wake up feeling worse than the previous night. This experience is commonly known as "restless sleep," which affects individuals of all ages. While experts are starting to consider "restless sleep disorder" as a potential diagnosis for children and teens, it is not yet a recognized medical disorder. To learn more about restless sleep, its symptoms, causes, and treatment, read on.

Sleep is a complex physiological process that involves different stages, each with its unique characteristics and functions. When you sleep, you go through cycles of non-REM and REM sleep, which play a vital role in your overall health and well-being.

Sleep is a vital aspect of our daily life, and it is essential for our physical and mental health. However, the sleep cycle is still a mystery for many people, especially when it comes to dreaming. Many people believe that they dream only during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, but is it true? In this blog, we will explore the science behind REM sleep and dreams, and find out what stage of sleep do you dream.

Are you tired of waking up feeling tired? Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night? If so, you may be missing out on the most restorative stage of sleep: deep sleep.

Sleep is an essential part of our daily routine, and it plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. We often hear that getting enough sleep is crucial for our physical and mental health, but did you know that it can also impact our biological age? That's right – the relationship between sleep and biological age is a complex one, and understanding it can help us better understand the importance of sleep and how it impacts our bodies.

As we age, it's natural to focus on the number of years we've been alive. But what if there was another way to measure our age – one that took into account the state of our bodies and minds? This is where biological age comes into play.

Sleep is an essential part of our daily routine and is crucial for our overall health and well-being. While we sleep, our body performs a variety of functions, including repairing and regenerating tissues, building bone and muscle, and strengthening the immune system. However, not all stages of sleep are created equal, and deep sleep is the most important of all for feeling rested and staying healthy. In this blog, we will explore the importance of deep sleep, how much deep sleep you need, and some tips for improving the quality of your sleep.

Healthy adults need a minimum of seven hours of sleep per night, whereas babies, young children, and teenagers require even more sleep to foster their growth and development. One must first be aware of the standard sleep guidelines. Following this, one must evaluate their own specific needs based on factors such as physical activity level and overall health. Ultimately, adopting healthy sleep habits is crucial to achieving the recommended amount of sleep.

This blog explores a recent discovery from the University of Bergen, published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, shedding light on the crucial role of quality sleep in bolstering an individual's infection resistance. The researchers engaged medical students to administer surveys in doctors' offices, inquiring about patients' sleep quality and recent infections. The findings illuminated a compelling connection: patients reporting either insufficient or excessive sleep were more susceptible to recent infections, with chronic sleep issues correlating with a higher demand for antibiotics.
