Are you tired?Do you often catch colds and flu?If so, you might consider changing your sleep habits. Good health demands good sleep.Studies have shown that most people need eight hours of sleep each night.Americans, however, on average, get only seven hours.Onethird of us get just six hours, and good health is not simply a matter of how much sleep you get, but also the type of sleep you get. Nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep allows your body to grow and repair itself.During NREM sleep, your muscles relax.Your heart rate and breathing rate decrease.Your eyes roll slowly back and forths then they stop moving.Most of the sleeping you do is NREM sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep restores your brain.During REM sleep, you dream.You may not remember every dream, but every time you sleep, you dream.Your eyes move back and forth quickly. Your breathing rate and heartbeat increase.Your muscles become paralysed (麻痹的). About 25 percent of your sleep is REM sleep.You need enough of both kinds of sleep to be healthy.
