Long since sleep science agrees: when sleep is getting every elementarily and above all naturally preconditions and neither gets disturbed by noise, light, electromagnetic pollution or in the early morning by a rattling alarm clock, under this circumstances the sleep is the most valuable one.
Living and sleeping against the internal clock or against nature’s clock (sleeping at night) or constructing a sleep debt by a chronical lack of sleep disturb our well-being and are a hazard to our health of body and soul.
Any violation against the natural laws of sleep and any artificial intervention in the sleeping process, no matter whether it is happening by an alarm clock or by chemical sleeping pills, leads to an impairment of well-being, vitality and performance, our creativity and stress resistance. Especially people, who just let go their individual need of sleep are able to take full benefit from their potential of body, mind and soul and especially of their creativity.
Permanent problems to fall asleep or sleep disturbances, chronical lack of sleep and non-recreational sleep are wearing down our life-energy. From this perspective Dr. Piotr Wozniak’s (biologist) “free running sleep” is not only gaining more and more supporters but is getting more and more therapeutically applied. Especially when having stress-symptoms, exhaustion and burn-out it is one of the most valuable and reasonable therapy-support at all. Days off, vacations, long weekends offer the ideal opportunity to do so. Living and sleeping against the circadian and natural rhythm is demanding a high price – sleep disturbances, tiredness, high blood pressure, metabolic disorder, chronical infections and diseases and so on. Furthermore, it is demonstrably having a negative effect on our mood, intellectual capacity and our raise of awareness. Just the random regulation of the own sleep is leading to sleep disturbances in the end!
The healthy, Bioenergetic® Sleep needs the nature-given rhythm of day and night – during the day we should be wide awake and during the night get a sufficient amount of deep- and REM-sleep. Exactly these things get optimally supported by the sleep-healthy-concept (SAMINA). The core is built by the “sleep-healthy-trio” bed/sleeping system – sleeping place – bedroom. Exactly like a top athlete needs a corresponding equipment for good performances, we need a nature-like sleep-healthy-concept for the best possible sleep. This is not only supporting a good falling asleep and sleep through but is also leading to an optimally sleep efficiency. That means, ideally we sleep save and sound during the time we spend in bed.
Statically and in reference to health and life expectancy, the optimal sleep duration is between seven and eight hours. A small group of people needs more or less than these seven to eight hours of sleep. Everything under six hours is injurious to health in any way and is having a negative effect on the quality of the day. If someone knows, that he has to less sleep during the working days, he should go to bed earlier now and then and sleep late during weekends – have “free running sleep”, so to say.
