সব্যসাচী সরকার

রোহিত একটি বেসরকারি ব্যাংকের ক্যাশিয়ার। কিছুদিন হল দিনের শেষে  প্রায়ই ক্যাশ মেলাতে গিয়ে  তাঁর সমস্যা হচ্ছিল। চাকরি বাঁচাতে নিজের পকেট থেকে ভর্তুকিও দিতে হচ্ছিল তাঁকে। বিষয়টিকে প্রথমে গুরুত্ব না দিলেও অবশেষে বন্ধুদের পরামর্শে এক সাইকিয়াটিস্টের শরণাপন্ন হয় সে। বেরিয়ে আসে এক আশ্চর্য তথ্য। অপর্যাপ্ত ঘুমের ফলেই সে হারাচ্ছিল মনঃসংযোগ আর তার ফলেই ক্যাশ মেলাতে গিয়ে প্রতিদিনের খেসারত দেওয়া। ঘুম আমাদের জীবনে এমনই এক মহার্ঘ বস্তু। অধিক ঘুমে কারোর ট্রেন মিস হয়ে যায় আবার অনেক মানুষের রাত কেটে যায় শুধু বিছানায় এপাশ ওপাশ করতে করতে। বর্তমান ব্যস্ততার যুগে অনিদ্রার সমস্যাই সবচেয়ে বেশি। অনিয়ন্ত্রিত জীবনযাপন, কর্মব্যস্থতা, মানসিক চাপ প্রভৃতি কারণে ঠান্ডা ঘরের অন্ধকারে নরম বিছানায় হাত পা ছড়ালেও সময় মেপে মেপে রাত কাটিয়ে দিতে হয়। মানুষের বয়স বাড়ার সঙ্গে সঙ্গে কমতে থাকে ঘুমের পরিমান। সবচেয়ে কম চার ঘণ্টা থেকে সবচেয়ে বেশি এগারো ঘণ্টা ঘুমকেই স্বাভাবিক ধরা হয়। এর থেকে এক ঘণ্টা কম বেশি হলেই হতে পারে মারাত্মক সমস্যা। একজন পূর্ণবয়স্ক মানুষের সাত থেকে নয় ঘণ্টা ঘুমানো উচিত। এ প্রসঙ্গে বলা প্রয়োজন, অনেকে মনে করেন কম ঘুমালে ওজন কমে, এই ধারণা একদমই ভুল। স্থুলত্ব কমাতে পরিপূর্ণ নিদ্রা বিশেষ জরুরি। হাউ টু স্লিপ ওয়েল বইয়ের লেখক এবং ঘুম বিশেষজ্ঞ নীল স্ট্যানলের মতে  শরীরের প্রয়োজনীয়তা অনুযায়ী ব্যক্তি বিশেষের ঘুমের সময় নির্ধারণ করা উচিত।  লক্ষ্য রাখা দরকার, কম ঘুমের কারণে যেন শারীরিক ক্লান্তির শিকার না হতে হয়।

কি ভাবে ঘুমাবেন –

যাঁরা অনিদ্রায় ভোগেন, ঘুমানোর আগে মনকে প্রস্তুত করা তাঁদের জন্য বিশেষ জরুরি।

শোওয়ার ঘরটিকে প্রায়  অন্ধকারাচ্ছন্ন এবং যথা সম্ভব অবাঞ্ছিত শব্দবিহীন করে নেওয়া প্রয়োজন।

রাতের খাবার খাওয়ার আগে হাল্কা উষ্ণ গরম জলে স্নান করে নিলে শরীরের তাপমাত্রা ঠিক থাকে। এতে ঘুম ভাল হয়।

রাত্রে খাওয়ার পর বেশি জল খাবেন না।

খাওয়ার পর অবশ্যই একটু হাঁটাহাঁটি করলে ঘুম ভাল আসে।

যাঁদের দুগ্ধজাত দ্রব্য খেলে কোনও অসুবিধা হয় না তাঁরা রাতের খাবারে দুধ বা টক দই রাখতে পারেন। এতে ঘুম ভাল হয়।

রাতে খাওয়ার সময় পিঁয়াজ খাওয়া সুনিদ্রাদায়ক।

ঘুমানোর আগে চা বা কফি একদমই নয়।

মানসিক উত্তেজনা কমাতে ঘুমানোর আগে কিছুক্ষণ মেডিটেশন করা ভাল।

অনেকে প্রয়োজনে স্লিপিং অ্যাপ ব্যবহার করতে পারেন। এই অ্যাপগুলিতে সুন্দর বাজনা বা গল্প শোনানো হয়। যা শুনতে শুনতে সহজেই ঘুম এসে যায়।

কেমন ভাবে ঘুমাবেন –

প্রত্যেক মানুষই নিজস্ব ভঙ্গিতে ঘুমান। অধিকাংশ  মানুষ সাধারণত পাশ ফিরে ঘুমান। নীল স্ট্যানলের মতে চিৎ হয়ে শোওয়া সবচেয়ে ভাল। এতে শরীরের সন্ধিস্থল এবং পেশিগুলি চাপমুক্ত থাকে। উপুর হয়ে শুয়ে ঘুমালে, ঘুমের ফল বিশেষ পাওয়া যায় না। তবে গর্ভবতী মহিলাদের পাশ ফিরে শোওয়া উচিত এতে শরীরে রক্ত সঞ্চালন ভাল হয়।

APPS THAT MAKE YOUR DEEP SLEEP EASY

GET GOOD DEEP SLEEP WITH THE SMARTPHONE APPS

       Now-a-days, most of the persons are terrible at sleeping, they even tried various tricks and remedies, to get a good sleep, but they are not.

The conventional wisdom says that using Smartphones before going to bed will makes the humans to awake at night, but the Smartphone App Sleep Cycle helps the humans to monitor your sleep and make you deep…

Perhaps no figure in psychology has been as famous or controversial as Sigmund Freud. After all, no one else seemed to find a way to relate basically everything in life back to sex and repressed sexual desires. Much of Freud's research focused on dreams, which he believed represented suppressed wishes and desires of the dreamer. While Freud would likely be taken aback by our modern world of sleeping apps and smartphones, he would probably still have quite a bit to say about your dreams.

According to Freud, the starting point for our dreams are the events that go on during our daily routine, as well as our thoughts. Dreams tend to serve as “wish fulfillment” of the dreamer – the things that we secretly desire. This comes from the way the part of the mind known as the “id” expresses a person's internal conflict during the night. Even if you struggle falling asleep and need the help of sleeping apps to fall asleep, this conflict still takes place once your unconscious takes over.

In Freudian dream analysis, there are two main elements of the dream: the manifest content and the latent content. Manifest content is the part of the dream that we are able to remember when we wake up, such as images and content. Manifest content is only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak – in Freud's analysis, there is always a deeper underlying meaning, even when what we remember of our dream seems completely nonsensical.

This is where the latent content of the dream comes in. According to Freud, the latent content reveals our inner thoughts and desires (though Freud's analysis tended to go beyond desires such as, “I should get a sleeping app so I can fall asleep faster”). This content is often suppressed by our unconscious mind because discovering these primitive feelings could be difficult to cope with, though Freud felt that discovering the meaning of these ideas could allow people to resolve their internal struggles. 

Of course, the vast majority of the symbols Freud saw in sleep related to sex. Freud believed symbols were used in dreams to make socially improper behavior and thoughts more acceptable to our unconscious. 

If you use sleeping apps to fall asleep quickly at night, Freud would probably have something sexual to say about that too. In truth, most of Freud's analysis sounds like something any 13-year-old boy could come up with. Rather than focusing on what your dreams could possibly mean, it's probably best to just focus on getting a good night's sleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, obesity affects 65 percent of Americans and according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke sleeping disorders affect around 40 million Americans every year. 

Experts say obesity is on the rise because people’s caloric intake has increased while their physical activity has decreased. People nowadays live a more sedentary lifestyle as opposed to early farmers and explorers. Recently linked together, obesity has a large effect on sleep.

While sleeping aids, such as sleeping apps, a quality mattresses and black out shades, can help people fall asleep, obesity can affect how well people sleep.

Sleep apnea and obesity are directly linked. As obesity rises in children cases, sleep apnea cases have been on the rise as well. An estimated 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. 

No amount of sleeping apps and new mattresses will “fix” this problem. As people gain weight in their trunk and neck region, it constricts airflow. In return this can affect people’s motivation to work out. This can further result in sleeping disorders.

Physiological disorders can result from lack of sleep. It’s been proven people who sleep less usually intake more calories to stay alert and have larger appetites. This never-ending cycle results in overweight people with more sleep disorders.

Not all hope is lost. Getting a good night’s sleep can help people’s overall health increase. Sleep experts recommend using sleeping apps, an effective alarm, perhaps even a prescription drug to help induce sleep. 

There are many benefits to getting a good night’s rest. Some of these benefits include, having a better mood, increased ability to concentrate, less likely to get ill and increased memory. Although many people don’t invest the proper amount of time to sleep it’s extremely important in overall health.

Thanks to modern day technology tracking sleep patterns has become easier. Sleeping apps can help people track the amount of hours they typically sleep. Sleeping apps can also keep track of sleep cycles and wake the user up at the opportune time. 

In addition to using sleep aides, people can start making healthier choices while they’re awake. This can help decrease their chances of becoming overweight. Regular exercise and eating healthy can help ultimately increase sleep.

People who are physically tired reported being able to fall asleep faster and sleeping much better. Eating healthier can also help keep body functions normal and likewise make falling asleep easier. Junk food and high sugar diets can make falling asleep difficult as the body tries to process all the extra sugars.

Staying healthy and sleeping well are integral components of overall health. Perhaps consider downloading some sleeping apps to help track your sleep schedules.

Getting out of bed in the morning can seem like a monumental task, especially if sleepers haven’t had the proper hours of sleep. Some sleeps are also much more restful than others. With fluctuating sleep cycles it can be difficult for the average sleeper to know exactly how much sleep will make getting up easier.

Thanks to companies like Sleep Genius and modern day technology, sleepers can now easily download sleeping apps to help chart the cycles. From taking a two-hour power nap to a full night’s rest the app is programed to help chart the sleeper’s sleep cycles.

There are also a few different things sleepers can do the night before to help make getting out of bed easier.

For example putting the alarm clock across the room so that in order to turn off the loud noise one must climb from bed. Placement of the alarm clock is also just as important as the type of alarm clock. Nowadays with smart phones almost any style or type of alarm can be downloaded.

Some alarm clocks require a password and the completion of an equation to shut off. Meanwhile other alarms are coupled with sleeping apps, designed to wake the sleeper up at the right point in their sleep cycles.

Sleep experts also advise training to help waking up easier. For example going from sleeping in everyday until 11:00 am to trying to wake up at 5:00 am might be rough at first. No amount of sleeping apps or loud alarm is going to make the transition completely seamless.

It’s important to develop a routine. Going to bed earlier and waking up earlier usually works pretty well. Although this seems like a simple fix, many people maintain their normal routines and wonder why waking up at different times is so difficult. 

Here’s the hint — go to bed sooner if wake up times are supposed to be much earlier than normal.

If all other methods fail, the common trick of drinking a large glass of water before bed will probably wake you up with the need to use the bathroom. After getting out of bed, don’t be tempted to go back and lay down. It makes waking up and being alert that much more difficult. 

Using sleeping apps, effective alarm, investing in a good mattress and pillow and maintaining a routine will all help make getting up a little bit easier.
