不同年龄阶段的女性 睡眠时间多长才合适?
In the same way our diets and exercise regimes have become mainstays of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, so too should we focus on our sleep in order to improve our moods and ability to perform tasks. But it's often been debated how long a woman needs to rest each night and what's a healthy amount at each age. Sealy sleep analyst Dr Amy Reynolds spoke to Daily Mail Australia about the importance of a good quality snooze and what it means at every life stage.
1.Teenagers 'Teenagers and students in high school need 8-10 hours of sleep on average but as few as seven and as much as 11 hours could be appropriate too,' Dr Reynolds said. Our constant access to phones and the internet can inhibit our bodies ability to get good quality levels of sleep so it's important to turn all electrical equipment off an hour before hitting the hay. 2.Full-time Workers According to a Sealy sleep survey 70 per cent of Australians feel their everyday performance is affected by lack of sleep. 'People studying at university or working, typically between the ages of 18 and 25, should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night,' Dr Reynolds said. 3.Mothers There should be a bedtime routine for mums just like there is a system in place for young children. 'Women between the ages of 26-60 should be getting around 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Try to get everyone in the family into bed at a reasonable hour by brushing your teeth together and reading a bedtime story,' Dr Reynolds said. 4.Older Women 'Women over 60 can get 7-8 hours of rest a night and remain perfectly healthy,' Dr Reynolds said. If you find yourself having 'poor' sleep it might be something to raise with your own doctor. Arm yourself with information and how you can best reinvigorate your sleep pattern. In terms of trying to 'make up' for lost sleep Dr Reynolds recommends just trying to aim for the recommended amount each night - 'topping' up on sleep isn't necessarily effective, she said. |
