The first part of the night is when deep sleep is active and crucial for your recovery. This is when the brain flushes out what it doesn't need, and the immune system forms new cells. Deep sleep is reduced by stress and if you go to bed too late. The hours between 10 PM and midnight are important.<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udca4 <strong style=\"font-family: var(--primaryFont), serif; font-size: revert; display: inline !important;\">A full sleep cycle lasts 90-110 minutes<\/strong>.

Biologically, our cycles are controlled by two factors: sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, which together regulate the depth and duration of sleep.<br \/><br \/>Sleep pressure helps the body maintain a balance between the right amount of sleep and wakefulness over time. Sleep pressure increases the longer you have been awake. It is influenced by, among other things, how well we slept the night before and how physically active we are. 16 hours of wakefulness and an active lifestyle create good sleep pressure.<br \/><br \/>The circadian rhythm and the body's rhythms are controlled by a collection of nerve cells in the brain called the internal clock. A number of signaling substances and hormones are responsible for whether we feel awake, and others, such as melatonin, influence us becoming sleepy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-b84226b e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b84226b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07b33a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"07b33a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-9e71f3d e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9e71f3d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c7ee79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c7ee79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Natural Sleep Cycle<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-4a132e4 e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4a132e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86b8f14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86b8f14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Darkness activates the production of melatonin, which is the body's sleep hormone, helping us feel tired and fall asleep.

It's important to get daylight in the morning to stop melatonin production.<br \/><br \/>As we use energy throughout the day, the neurotransmitter adenosine accumulates in the brain. Adenosine helps to increase sleep pressure, making us more and more tired. It is important that adenosine is excreted from the brain \u2013 and this happens during a good and sufficient night's sleep, so that we feel well-rested in the morning. If we don't get enough sleep, we accumulate adenosine in the brain, and we feel tired and sluggish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-4009a63 e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4009a63\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ce0c45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9ce0c45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-a1bb247 e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a1bb247\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30bc566 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"30bc566\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>What happens when we sleep?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-3f1fd4c e-flex e-con-boxed ae-bg-gallery-type-default e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3f1fd4c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98b6283 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98b6283\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a; font-size: 1.1em; font-style: inherit;\">Sleep is just as important for our health and well-being as a healthy diet and exercise.

A healthy stress response involves a rapid increase in stress hormones, which enables us to fight or flee from a real and present danger, followed by a rapid decrease in stress hormones when the incident is over. The same biological system that controls the hormonal stress response plays an important role in regulating our circadian rhythm.<br \/><br \/>Our psychological processes and mental health are crucial for sleep to function. You can consciously work to create a healthier circadian rhythm and a relaxing evening routine that pulls you away from your thoughts and grounds you in your body.
