Anti-sleep Noble peace prize

Yesterday on the Noble prize ceremony award Noble prize for peace was given to a person who learned to live without sleeping: “For bringing peace to our lives” they said.

That man is active round a clock, always ready to do something and is even thinking about learning to live without food. And he opened school “Anti-sleep Life”: all top-100 Fortune companies dream to train their staff there. Governments prepare to change job regulations and protect companies from overtime payments..and soon people will nostalgie for their daily spiral, so natural and native..

Предыстория 0 важности проблемыOur native activity spiral..day after day..

But what if sleeping is not that simple?

And it made me think.. What if sleeping isn’t just “lying still-wasting time”?

What if it is the most

important part of the day, even more important than being awake?

What if the way of sleeping differs people from animals?

That was a dream that I saw last night..

Sleep is vitally important. Without sleep one can survive for only 5 days, whereas without water – 10 days, without food – 30. Even one sleepless night impacts one’s psychical condition significantly.

Lack of normal sleep leads to mental and physical malfunction, causes many troubles with health, decreases immune level, causes early getting tired and old.

“Lack of sleep” border is individual.

Normal amount of time for sleeping is 7-10 hours, whereas demand for sleep may depend upon season, age, health, activity and other personal factors

It is not recommended to sleep more than 12 hours per night, because natural biorhythms shift.

It’s better to sleep for odd number of hours (5,7, 9) rather than even (6,8,10).

Any available number of sleeping hours have to be used efficiently

Preliminary research

Slow sleep. Lasts for 80-90 minutes. Starts right after falling asleep and has 4 stages.

1.5-10 minutes: nap2.20 minutes: light sleep3.And 4. stages lasting 30-40 minutes. The most deep and slow sleep. It’s

very difficult to wake someone up at this period. Deep sleep is the best time for restoration.After 4th phase sleeping person returns to phase 2 and then again 5 minutes

of a nap. All this chain is called a cycle and lasts for 90-100 minutes. Then cycle repeats , but the amount of deep sleep decreases whereas amount of light sleep increases. During the light sleep brain is active like at the daytime despite full lack of movements. 90% of people see bright dreams at this stage. It is supposed, that light dream is a function of psychological protection, information processing and its exchange between conscious and sub-conscious.

All stages are vitally important for human, but it is proved that people who sleep less (3-5 hours) have almost 50% of deep sleep. It means that their sleep is more efficient due to lack of time for less important stages.

..but we chose the most actual for our team:

The most efficient sleep in minimal amount of time in one’s own bed

There are many reasons for sleep deprivation..

Along the research we changed our point of view: sleep is not a rest, it is another form of activity.

Muscles rest during the sleep, immune system activates its work, brain is active most of time.

Enabling efficient sleep is like combining a puzzle of factors:• Comfortable place for sleeping• Mandatory preparation: walk 2 hours before the sleep, maximal relaxation

before the sleep• Appropriate time for sleep is a key: the more alignment with natural

biorhythms – the better• Avoid alcohol and heavy food at least 4 hours before the sleep• Temperature and humidity should be balanced• Nothing should disturb: if one wakes up even to a surface sleep, cycle

damages and stops to be efficient• Natural and efficient music or silence has to be selected for each sleep

stage• Pleasant wake up is necessary: nice view and alarm music raise

motivation for opening the eyes
