How is the Importance of Sleep

Good morning friend, did you have four quality sleeps?

You see, when your body is tired, don't eat late at night. Why? The importance of sleep. Just drink 2 glasses of plain water and go to bed. Sleep is different from rest. Quality sleep is restful sleep; your body is recharged, ready for the day's business.

Sleep disturbances set up vicious cycles of pain, fatigue, and emotional distress that make sleep even more unlikely. Things don't improve much during waking hours either for people who do not sleep well. Inadequate sleep, (ideally from 10:00pm till 6 am) increases sensitivity to bowel, skin, and muscle stimuli, thus leading to ore pain and distress. I know from personal experience that when I don't get sufficient night-sleep, my digestion suffer as a result. No bowel movement, no appetite, headaches.

The human brain and gut are much alkies. Both have natural ninety-minute (90 mins) cycles. One quality sleep cycle is an uninterrupted 90 minutes sleep. An average normal adult needs at least 4 quality sleep cycles per 24 hours, minimum for optimal health.

The slow wave sleep of the human brain is interrupted by periods of "rapid eye movement," or REM sleep, in which dreams occur.

For a dream comes through the multitude of business: gluttony prior to sleep cause many drams/ nightmares. The sleep of a laboring man/woman is sweet, whether he/she eats little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not allow him/her to sleep, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

Patients with bowel problems also tend to have abnormal REM sleep, and poor sleep has been reported by many if not most patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and non-ulcer dyspepsia ("sour stomach"). Sour stomach is due to dehydration; and the remedy, increase daily water intake to sufficient level.

Doctors often treat abnormal REM sleep with mild antidepressants, which Mau also be effective in treating IBS and non-ulcer dyspepsia.

However, some stronger antidepressants make your digestive problems worse. Once again this points to a link between sleeping problems and stomach problems. Do the two brains, i.e; head-brain and gut-brain, influence each other? Probably.

Quality sleep may very well be the single most important ingredient for your digestive health. And it is important to get enough sleep at the night time. The right time is at night, according to the human body natural biorhythmic cycle. No burning midnight oil or late night overtime business.

Every minute you sleep before midnight (i.e. before 10:00 pm) is the equivalent of four (4) minutes of sleep after midnight. Intelligence developments and improvements in the morning. Good night, friend.

CAUTION: Things go wrong when Serotonin is robbed from your gut.

Many prescription drugs that affect the human brain also affect your gut. Some individuals who take Prozac or similar antidepressants may experience gastro-intestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. These drugs "divert" (or rob) serotonin from the body (you gut, to be specific) to the brain. Unfortunately, this leaves less serotonin for the cells of your gastrointestinal tract. This is a classic case of prescription drugs creating another health problem in trying to solve your first problem. Vicious cycle begins.

Sleeping pills taken to induce sleep will worsen the condition in the long run.

Normally, your gut produces more serotonin than any other part of your body. This is important because serotonin is linked with initiation of peristalsis (the natural rhythmic movement of digested food through the digestive tract. Your digestive tract / gut runs from your inlet, mouth all the way to the "other end" outlet, rectum. When the supply of serotonin is reduced or stopped altogether, everything related to food digestion goes wrong. Hence, you suffer constipation and headaches.

Small doses of Prozac are often used to treat (not cure) chronic constipation. However, if a little Prozac cures constipation, a lot of Prozac causes constipation!

Many Alzheimer and Parkinson's disease patients suffer from constipation because these conditions impact the "second" brain in your gut as well as the "first" brain and central nervous system.

Evidently, if you take good care of your gut, it will in return take good care of your brain. On the other hand, we tend to take our gut for granted, indifferent to it, and its malfunction costs us dearly.

In fact, virtually every state of health is affected by the GI (gastrointestinal) tract. Even if you break a bone or undergo a surgical procedure, the time required to heal is directly affected by how well your gut is able to process nutrients and detoxify toxins!

And even if you are the most intelligent person in the world, if you fail to fuel your body properly, your brilliant intellect may be dimmed or extinguished through poor nutrition and poor lifestyle decisions. The importance of sleep is a heal-thy-life.

The "law of the gut" is two keys: 1.Optimize the nutrition entering your human body. 2. Reduce the toxins in your human body.

Share with friends who are sleepless. Smile!
