Are you an "early riser", "night owl", "heavy sleeper"?

Regardless, we spend 1/3 of our life sleeping.

Who hasn't already suffered the consequences of a bad night? Difficulty concentrating, dark circles, or mood disorders ... Sleep is of utmost importance.

He us reconnects with our rhythm biological. Indeed, at night, our body rebuilds, repairs and regenerates itself.

So, does going to bed before midnight help you sleep better? We often hear that the hours before midnight count double.

True or false ? Back on a received idea.

1. Some are "in the morning", others "in the evening"

Our sleep rhythms are different and everyone deals with their habits and schedules.

Sleep happens for everyone every 24 hours. Our internal clock manages a fairly regular cruising speed.

Being a late riser or an early owl would actually be a genetic determination. The important thing is therefore to be attentive to your personal biological rhythm and to keep regular schedules.

2. Do the hours before midnight count double?

Sleep breaks down into different cycles which follow one another - light sleep, deep sleep and paradoxical sleep (dreams) - but which do not always have the same proportion.

Deep sleep will be more important at the beginning of the night and it is this sleep whose "hours count double" and which is the more restorative.

But as it happens at the start of sleep, whether you are a "night owl" or "an early owl", whether you go to bed before Where after midnight, you will still benefit from your restorative sleep.

Going to bed before midnight to sleep better is therefore a great urban legend!

3. How to promote a good night's sleep?

The secret is to have a better lifestyle, simply.

Now that I know my rhythm (night owl) I am and I know hear signs of falling asleep.

Above all, we avoid the TV, the computer and the telephone in the bedroom and meals copious to rest better. The practice of a sport after 5 p.m. is also not recommended.

But I must admit that it's always better to do it after 5 p.m. than not at all!

4. Natural remedies for sleep disorders

Before sleeping, I always treat myself to a good linden or verbena herbal tea before starting a calm activity.

For me, it's usually reading and, from time to time, a good bath with lavender flowers with soft music.

And zou, in bed, and never without my hot water bottle that I place under my knees!

I also place 2 drops of essential oils of thyme, rosewood or lavender next to or on my pillow. For the nervous, a small course of magnesium chloride is necessary.

When I can't sleep, I also practice slow breathing (10 long breaths in and 10 seconds out).
