The City That Never Sleeps

"So many articles have been written about the fact that adults need about 8 hours of sleep per night. The fact is, that some people may need more or less. The real question should be, WHEN are you getting your sleep!
You can get a full 8 hours of sleep but if you went to bed at 2am and woke up at 10am, you will not be in tip top shape. Definitely not compared to if you slept at 10pm and woke up at 6am. It’s crucial to have not only the right amount of sleep, but to also sleep at the right time. The best time range to go to bed to help you wake up in great shape is between 9pm and midnight. This is for adults 18-45 years of age. Older people tend to sleep earlier than that due to their age and their lack of energy, which is normal. If you go to sleep later than midnight, even with the right amount of hours you need, it is still not optimal sleep for you." Got this when I googled in "best time to sleep." Too few experiences sleeping before 12. So can't really comment. Next week I will have no choice but to sleep before 12 to make in time for papers. Will see how my body adapts and how the day goes for me. I guess a parallel can be drawn to studying likewise. It's not a matter of how many hours you lock yourself up in the room, trying to avoid any form of distraction and force yourself to study. It's a matter how effective even a single hour of study is that makes the difference. I just experienced that. About 3.5h to tackle TE papers were good enough. My brain feels drained already from flipping through those pages to select suitable materials. There is like so many materials for each application. Wish me luck on Wednesday flipping through the notes. I don't need a high speed tool steel. I need high speed fingers and eyes to be able to scan through those many pages within 2 hours and sieve out necessary info. |
