Sleep is one of the most overlooked pillars of health, yet the internet can turn it into another source of pressure.

Sleep is one of the most overlooked pillars of health, yet the internet can turn it into another source of pressure.

How much sleep does an adult need

The joint position of AASM and the Sleep Research Society indicates that most adults should regularly sleep at least 7 hours.

Consistency matters more than you may think

A fixed wake-up time helps synchronize sleep, appetite, body temperature, and hormone release.

Light in the morning, less light in the evening

Light is one of the strongest signals for the biological clock.

Don’t try to force yourself to fall asleep

The more someone tries to control sleep, the easier it is to become aroused and alert. For chronic insomnia, the strongest evidence supports CBT-I.

When to seek sleep advice

Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, falling asleep in dangerous situations, and persistent insomnia are indications for medical consultation.

What the science says

The AASM/SRS consensus is based on a broad review of epidemiological and experimental data.
