Many people know the importance of sleep to the body, and also understand that it is not good to sleep too long or too short. However, in addition to ensuring proper sleep time, the quality of sleep during this period is also something we need to care about. Good bedtime habits and sleeping environment are indispensable.
Some studies have shown that people who sleep eight hours a day have a shorter life span, which can be said to subvert the long held view of healthy sleep time. Which one should we believe and how long should we sleep?
In fact, the best sleep time for different age groups is different. Everyone should sleep scientifically according to his own age. As long as he is not sleepy during the day, it means that he has enough sleep time. Some people sleep long, others sleep short. The length of sleep varies with the seasons, and gradually shortens with age. We can’t stick to the saying that we sleep eight hours a day.
1. Elderly over 60 years old: sleep 5.5 ~ 7 hours a day
2. Adults aged 30-60: sleep about 7 hours a day
3. Young people aged 13-29: sleep about 8 hours every day
Bad living habits reduce the quality of sleep. We must pay attention to these things before going to bed.
