Sleeping well activates unique regenerative processes. The hormone melatonin, known as the "sleep hormone", regulates your circadian rhythm and enhances cell repair. How to increase it? Watch the sunset: red light and infrared rays stimulate its production naturally.
A complete sleep cycle lasts between 90 and 110 minutes and is repeated several times during the night, going through different stages such as light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep (rapid eye movement). The number of cycles and total hours of sleep needed varies by age, but for an adult, an average of 7 to 9 hours of sleep is recommended. |
| Practical tip |
| Turn off screens an hour before bed; the blue light of cell phones blocks melatonin. |
| Extra |
| Sleeping little raises cortisol and accelerates aging. |
