Sleep Disorders

What are Sleep Concerns?

Our bodies are machines that need to be recharged daily. Our brain and organs need time to rest and reboot. We know this, but often it is hard to get a good night of sleep. We fit in work, kids, meetings, school, errands, and business travel. We also worry we might miss a text, email, or one of the many important social media posts. It is no wonder that we cannot turn our minds off at night to rest. The constant thinking, planning, and stressing will lead to tossing and turning all night long.

How Many Hours of Sleep Do We Need?

It is recommended for adults aged 26-64 to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Some people can function well on less sleep, while some need more. These hours consist of two different sleep cycles, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM). Both phases are extremely vital!

NREM: This phase of sleep typically occupies 75-80% of total sleep each night. Many of the health benefits of sleep take place during NREM sleep—tissue growth and repair occurs, energy is restored, and hormones essential for growth, and development are released.

REM: This phase of sleep typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep each night. REM sleep, when dreaming occurs, is essential to our minds for processing and consolidating emotions, memories, and stress. It’s also thought to be vital for learning, stimulating the brain regions used in learning and developing new skills.
