SLEEP TIME
Body Functions Differently During Sleep
When a person is in a state of sleep, Theta waves with a frequency range of 4-7 Hertz are associated with several different mental and physical states, including creativity, intuition, memory, and emotional healing.
This sleeping period improves memory and learning and increases feelings of well-being and creativity.
Different Brainwave Periods
When we are fully awake as in normal waking hours during daytime, it is called Beta. This Beta consists of a frequency range of 13 to 30 Hertz.
A brainwave period called Alpha happens just before sleep and after sleep. This has a frequency range of 8 to 12 Hertz.
So we have Beta brainwaves which have a frequency range of 13 to 30 Hertz.
This is when we are fully awake and we can have moods like being anxious, active, attentive, or relaxed.
Just before we fall asleep and before fully waking, we have Alpha brainwaves which have a frequency range of 8 to 12 Hertz.
This can be a period of being very relaxed or having passive attention.
When we fall asleep, we have Theta brainwaves which have a frequency range of 4 to 8 Hertz.
Here we are deeply relaxed, or inward-focused.
When we are in deep sleep, we are in a trance state, or unconscious.
We have Delta brainwaves which have a frequency range of less than 4 Hertz.
Early Bed Time Is Important
Now, I go to bed early, before 9 pm, and get my whole quota of sleep AND rest.
In the early morning, I am totally refreshed, renewed, rejuvenated, and recharged.
I also learned that the more relaxed and balanced I am when I am about to rest, my sleep time has more recovery or recharging capabilities.
This ensures I am more prepared for the next day. Because I am now energetic and delighted to achieve my envisioned day’s goals.
So when I relax, I relax totally.
I am living a wonderfully balanced life.
It’s a rhythm that makes my life sustainable.
What we do when we’re not working is as important as what we do when we are!
It does not seem that what we do at night time would contribute to our overall healthy life, but it does.
Just by nurturing ourselves, we are leading richer lives.
When we are relaxed we can then be in a much better state to return to invest our time profitably.
Living In Harmony
When we live in harmony with the natural rhythm of our 24-hour day, we sustain life optimally.
Therefore we should follow a harmonious rhythm.
Mediation
Just before we fall asleep and before fully waking, we can use Alpha brainwaves with a frequency range of 8 to 12 Hertz to do meditation.
This can be a wonderful opportunity to work on our Mindset. There are different types of meditation.
We can reprogram our minds to overcome habits in our lives.
Sleep Time Is More Important
When we get to know the human body, we realize the importance of sleep time. And we get to know that this period is more important than daytime.
Sleep time sets the pace of HOW we desire our lives to be lived. We should pay more attention to this wonderful phase of the rhythm of living. You will be surely amazed.
So True. Lack of anything will create imbalance and disharmony. Thanks for the information and guidelines.
