In many of these countries, in the northern hemisphere, the days gradually get warmer, and the cold days give way to flowery days. What many don't know is that climate change will directly affect the quality of sleep, as it happens annually, as many begin to reduce the nocturnal routine, as proven by the most scientific research recent.
In winter, for example, the difficulty of getting out of bed and facing a new day is a general perspective that scientists are able to confirm. People find it difficult to get up and need more rest time, causing the alarm clock's ′′ snooze mode ′′ to be active for a few more minutes. Of course, science claims that cold days require more sleep at night.
The body needs more rest in the winter.
Science claims in the latest research that cold days require more hours of night sleep compared to hot summer days. The extra hours of sleep influence people who live in cities and are exposed to artificial lights, altering the influence that natural light has on the quality of sleep.
Who explains these changes is the head of the sleep clinic at St. Hedwig, Germany, researcher Dieter Kunz. Prior to Kunz's research, previous studies found that being exposed to artificial light before sleep time can alter the natural sleep cycle, directly implicating the secretion of melatonin.
In Germany, however, the most current scientific records were tested on 188 patients residing in the city and facing the condition of disturbed sleep on winter days. They concluded that patients in the city, exposed to artificial light, sleep one hour longer in the winter months compared to the month of June, when it is summer in Europe.
The research reveals that patients experienced variations in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is the stage of sleep in which people dream. This sleep stage was 30 minutes longer in winter compared to summer days.
Although the research was carried out in Europe, it comforts our subconscious to know that postponing the alarm clock on winter days is a healthy issue for the human body and is part of a process Natural.
