Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Do you avoid taking a nap because you think it will harm you? This is just one of many common misconceptions about sleep.
And the main platform for health awareness in the Saudi Ministry of Health, “Live Healthy”, shared a tweet on “Twitter”, in which it clarified some misconceptions about sleep.
Here are 3 misconceptions about sleep:
Myth: Napping is bad
the truth: It can be healthy as long as it does not exceed 20 to 30 minutes
Myth: Two hours of sleep is enough
the truth: Each age group has different hours of sleep
Myth: Coffee won’t disturb sleep
the truth: Even if you do manage to fall asleep, coffee will affect the quality of your sleep
Not only does sleep help you feel energized and energized for the next day, it also keeps your heart healthy.
There is growing evidence that people who do not sleep enough often have poor diets.
This may partly be because sleep is a restorative process that, among other things, produces and regulates hormones that can make you feel full or hungry.
And when these hormones get out of control, you may end up eating more, looking for calorie-dense foods that give you quick energy.
Lack of sleep can also lead to increased stress levels and the risk of depression, both of which also affect heart health.
