On New Year’s holidays, it is not recommended to try to sleep off the whole year, because of this, the sleep pattern will be more difficult to restore. This was announced on Tuesday, January 4, by the doctor-somnologist, candidate of medical sciences Sofia Cherkasova.
“It is not recommended to get enough sleep, to the limit. Better still, let the schedule get lost, let the person go to bed later and get up later in the first days of January. But so that the duration of sleep remains average, the same. This is 7-8 hours for most people, ”she told Reedus.
The specialist also recommended returning to sleep five days before going to work, so that the body has time to rebuild. So, after January 5, it is necessary to shift falling asleep and waking up to an earlier time by an hour. In addition, it is necessary to exclude factors that interfere with falling asleep: in the afternoon, you should give up tea, coffee, sugary carbonated drinks and chocolate.
Cherkasova noted that the garlands do not affect the quality of sleep, since they are only optical stimuli.
“They can delay sleep a little. But the light spectrum itself is usually warm yellow, which does not suppress melatonin. That is, the sleep hormone is safe here, ”the doctor explained.
In addition, the expert advised to be outdoors more often – to walk, ski or skate, because fresh air, exposure to natural light and physical activity prevent the shift in rhythm and help restore it.
On January 1, the chief freelance psychiatrist-narcologist of the Ministry of Health and the Moscow Department of Health, Yevgeny Brun, gave advice on restoring health after the New Year’s feast. According to him, kefir and unsweetened weak tea will help improve the mood after the festive feast.
On December 31, candidate of medical sciences, somnologist of the Lomonosov Moscow State University’s Medical Research and Education Center, Alexander Kalinkin, said that after the New Year holidays, it would be easy to adapt to the working regime by reducing the time of morning sleep from January 2. He explained that for most people, the optimal sleep period starts from 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm and ends around 07:00 am.
