AHMEDABAD: If you have a hard time jostling with your sleep schedule, you may have tried everything under the moon to help you get that uninterrupted restorative sleep at night.
You may be missing something — a sleepy hygiene — that does not mean a good bath before you go to bed! A strong sleep hygiene means having both a bedroom environment and daily routines that promote consistent, uninterrupted sleep.
Recently, researchers at department of community medicine of BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad interviewed 208 individuals as to whether they get their share of proper sleep.
At least 27.9% respondents claimed that they very frequently experienced sleeplessness, while 51.4 % respondents had felt sleepy and tired on at least 2 days in a week. Also 57.2% respondents said that they slept for 5-7 hours. But how did one put oneself to sleep?
About 55% respondents claimed they read books, magazines in bed , while 78% said that they needed quiet to grab a nap. “About 47.9% respondents strongly agreed that sleep was very important to them and that it largely impacted their health and work lives,” the study by senior resident doctor BJ medical college Dr Dhaval Parekh, Vedanti Dave and Tattvam Shah claimed. The study also highlighted certain coping mechanisms to deal with sleeplessness. About 37.8 % respondents said they avoided using bright screens and gadgets at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.
