Is it time to deep-sleep?

What I listened to / read

It is a day of us to use a lot of brain power and strengthen, but do you really confirm that you got a good sleep last night? the clip named "The brain benefits of deep sleep-- and how to get more of it" by Dan Gartenburg from TED.com will tell you why do we care about it?

What it says

Dan told us that human need a good sleep to improve brain performances ,in term of long-term memory and personalities, biological marker of youth and reduce the risk from Alzheimer's, cardiovascular diseases, stroke and diabetes. However, there are a research showed that human had slept less than the past for a half and sleep signal also found to be similar to light sleep, rapid eye movement and waking time which have a low frequency and amplitude than deep sleep. So Dan and colleagues tried to develop the deep-sleep stimulation technology by adding delta sound into accessory to improve sleep quality.

My response 

Throughout life time of human, we use one-third of time to sleep to relax and recover the body and mind from daytime. However, new generations and workers reduce sleep time to do overtime time job or party and hanging-out. Once they go to the bed, they also sleep as light sleep or only rapid eye movement during close their eyelids which are equal to still awake. Naturally, the body could recover and repair itself once you are sleep into deep-sleep stage only. if not, the body will still awake and work leading to reduce brain performance since it worked overload and increase the risk of  pathogenesis of earlier mentioned diseases from cellular stresses during body working. So, we need to go into that stage, but how?

As a scientist, there are a lot of research showing that high quality of sleep consisted of signal with high frequency and amplitude and also the movement like a dynamic of delta wave. This wave characteristic is different from the other three brain waves including waking time light sleep and rapid eye movement of REM. those brain waves displayed the low frequency and amplitude which are correlated the sensitive stage which sensitized to pain, exhausted and other negative feeling. if  those signals appear for long time, there are a research suggesting that it would increase the risk of those diseases and play an important role to increase aging rate of human. it sound like a shock story for adolescence and worker especially woman.

Fortunately, there a lot of way to take us into deep-sleep, but the important key is change your behaviors. Looking on the meal, light diet in evening are important for body to reduce metabolism and let the brain prepare to generate delta wave. Drinking some beverages is a good choice to improve delta wave regeneration like almond milk, hot chocolate or even diluted hot free-sugar green tea since they are had been proved to improve sleep quality. Exercise is also good way to improve dynamic of brain wave. In youtube or any social media, you can find a lot of clip recording the delta waves which can stimulate brain to release the similar characteristic wave to prepare you to deep-sleep. Nevertheless, you are still facing up with sleep apnea, you should to visit the doctor to use the signal clearance technology to clear short sound wave which interrupt your sleep time, and amplify the delta wave. In my thought, those tips can easily make you have a high-quality sleep time enough to fight the next morning. Have a nice deep sleep.

  1. I like it all except the bit about a "light diet in the evening." I like to relax with a movie or TV series before bed, and that goes much better with eating!
