A good day starts with a good night's sleep.
According to the studies according to various experts, in order to maintain optimal health, a person should go to bed early and get up before sunrise. The best hours for body rest are between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Going to bed should be after 11:00 p.m harmful to health and is the direct cause of many modern diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
Nature works in precise rhythmic cycles influenced by the earth's rotation, the sun and the moon. The sun rises and sets, the seasons change, the moon rises and sets, and so do the tides. Sleep and wakefulness functions are part of this rhythm. Animals and plants are awake and sleep according to this rhythm. Our bodies also work according to natural cycles, a body rhythm that we call the biological clock.
When our bodies are out of balance, they are not working in harmony with nature. Many things in the body are not working properly. Why? Because the hormones, chemicals, and neurotransmitters that determine energy, mood, and sleep levels are out of sync. In other words, we are not balanced and aligned with our biological clock.
And sleep is often the culprit for these discrepancies. According to the scientific research the average person needs 8 hours of sleep a day, which is easiest to achieve between 10:00 p.m. and 06:00 a.m., which are also the best hours for body regeneration. During this time, the human body is intended for rest, regeneration and detoxification (excretion of excess products and toxins).
How do our organs work during the recommended rest?
21.00 – 22.00 – The body excretes toxic chemicals from the immune system (lymph nodes). It is best to fall asleep between 9 and 10 p.m. so that the body can perform the aforementioned vital functions properly.
22.00 – 23.00 – Cells are already being renewed. Blood pressure drops, heart rate and metabolism slow down.
22.00 – 01.00 – The liver removes toxins and regenerates itself.
00.00 – 04.00 – Bone marrow produces blood.
01.00 – 03.00 – The gallbladder removes toxins and regenerates itself.
03.00 – 05.00 – The lungs eliminate toxins and regenerate. Between 4 and 5 in the morning, the blood pressure is very low, the brain is poorly supplied with blood. Cell and skin renewal is underway.
05.00 – 07.00 – The large intestine removes toxins and regenerates itself.
07.00 – 09.00 – Vitamins, minerals and nutrients are absorbed in the digestive tract. This is a good time for breakfast.
Tips for a good night's sleep
1. Keep the bedroom dark
So dark you can't even see your hand in front of your face. Why? When we sleep in complete darkness, the human brain produces a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is an important antioxidant that protects our DNA structure and prevents cancer. Tests prove that even a small amount of light falling on the skin immediately prevents the formation of melatonin. That's why scientists say never turn on the light when you get up and go to the bathroom at night.
2. Get outside every day
Natural sunlight helps regulate your body clock and increases melatonin production, creating more balanced sleep patterns.
3. Do sports
At least thirty minutes every day!
4. Avoid bright light
A person should avoid the lights on before going to sleep. Strong light that affects the eyes disturbs the biorhythm of the pituitary gland and prevents the production of melatonin.
5. Warm shower or bath before bed
This will relax your body and help you fall asleep faster.
6. Wear socks to bed
Warming up cold feet dilates blood vessels, which tells the brain it's time to sleep. When the blood vessels in the arms and legs dilate, the heat is distributed evenly throughout the body, preparing it for sleep.
7. Remove electronic devices
There should be no electronic devices in the bedroom, as they create an electromagnetic field that spoils the quality of your sleep.
8. Open the window at least a little
This will bring fresh air into the bedroom.

Do not drink liquids for at least two hours before going to bed.

11. Do not rest for more than 1 hour during the day
If a person needs to sleep a little during the day, sleep should not be longer than one hour, which is necessary for optimal recovery, rest and recovery. Sleeping longer will affect the quality of your night's sleep.
