Fun Facts About World Sleep Day

There are four stages of sleep, and all the stages are key to healthy sleep. In stage one, you are barely asleep and may move or jerk as you are starting to relax fully. In stage two, your breathing and heartbeat slow while you continue to relax. Your body and brain become less active.

As you enter stage 3, your body is heading for its deepest sleep. Your brain and body continue to slow down and relax, and it is harder for you to wake up. As you enter the deepest state of sleep, stage four, your body is working to heal and recover. This stage is the most important for rejuvenating the body.

Sleep Trivia

Finally, we have all heard of REM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement, and it is the sign you are in this altered state of sleep. Your eyes dart around behind your eyelids, and this is when you have your most vivid dreams. It is possible to have REM sleep in any of the four stages.

As you get older, you require less deep sleep. This is due primarily to the fact that you are not as active as when you were younger. That said, there is nothing wrong with getting good prolonged deep sleep.

When you are young, you need even more sleep because your body is growing and changing. Toddlers need as much as 14 hours, preschoolers, 13 hours, elementary school children, 12 hours, and teens, approximately 10 hours per day.
