I'm an ophthalmologist, not an expert on sleep, but sleep has always been very important to me, and I am on this subject a lot of thought Sleep -. It is wonderful a medicine that helps to feel fine. Lack of sleep leads to the development of chronic diseases - diabetes, diseases of the cardiovascular system, obesity and depression. The fatigue from lack of sleep compared to a state of intoxication.

It is normal that parents teach children to sleep. But it is equally important to accustom themselves to it. Nearly all surgeons-ophthalmologists, I know, is extremely concentrated (practically obsessed) on how to sleep well the night before surgery. They just crucial to sleep, no matter what without being distracted.

My own experience as a child I shared a room with my brother, who was four years older than me. Through this I have learned very well to sleep. I went to bed early, he came home late. I slept, and at this time he turned the lights on and do your homework. I learned to sleep so that I have nothing to distract. In his university years, I lived in a dormitory full brawlers in the room I had two neighbors. In the summer I worked in a hotel and sleep in a noisy barracks, where there were beds even 11 waiters

But I have always had one goal:. Eight hours of sleep every night In college, while my. classmates had fun at night, I always went to eight hours before I had to get up, especially before exams. The same was then in the Medical Academy.

Internship was for me a great challenge. I am often awakened in the middle of the night. But I found a new way to sleep for eight hours. I went to sleep before duty at eight o'clock in the hospital room to relax, and I managed to sleep for a few hours. And then, after working with patients, I often giving a total duration of sleep and eight hours.

< I now always try to sleep eight o'clock. Although many experts recommend to stick to the same schedule, I have to go to bed earlier, when an operation to be the following day. On weekends, I get up at the same time as on weekdays, and doing exercises that help me to live according to the schedule.

< Stick to the plan and turn off the TV, stop reading mail or book when I need to go before - a call I have to avoid procrastination and turn off the lights for eight hours before being triggered alarm

.. After a long day at the office, I often allocate 10-20 minutes for it to take a nap in the afternoon. In those days, when I need to go early, I miss the nap, that was not difficult to fall asleep at night.

When I was going somewhere, I try to sleep even further third of the time for which lengthened my day due to a different time zone. For example, if I go to the east coast to California, my day becomes longer than three hours, so I sleep an hour on the plane or before the trip.

Exercise helps me cope with the fatigue of travel. Morning aerobics - jogging or swimming - the best way to start the day. It removes fatigue and brings a good mood

Sleep should be a priority -.. Along with exercise and proper nutrition Lack of sleep leads to the fact that people are endlessly chew something ( and often something wrong, such as carbohydrates and refined sugar), just to replenish energy reserves. Lack of sleep interferes with exercise regularly - I want to sleep, not to go for a morning jog

. When people sleep well, they work more efficiently and productively, less error prone, more agreeable, happier - and even live longer
