Healthy living consists of a few different aspects like diet, exercise and stress, but a major part of healthy living relies on your sleep.Sleep is considered very overrated in today’s day and age, but it’s oh so important.

Sleep Hacking: How To Sleep Better

There are so many things to do every day, and it seems like there are never enough hours to do them all. It can often seem like a good idea to sacrifice some hours of sleep and use those hours to do the things we don’t have time for.  But be warned…if you cut your sleep short without following the various steps outlined in this article and Sleep Hack Dojo, you’re actually going to make yourself more tired and less productive.
Sleep is essential. We can’t live without sleep. The goal of sleep hacking is to be more productive and have more energy, not to mess ourselves up.

If we optimize sleep, we enable ourselves to achieve awesome lifestyles. Our goal is to get as much waking time as possible while keeping energy levels as high as possible to (and, of course, staying healthy while doing so).

Before continuing to learn more about tips and hacks you can use to sleep better, you first need to understand what sleep is and what the claimed purpose of sleep is.
What Is Sleep?
For decades there’s been much speculation about the purpose of sleep. Even scientists don’t really know what sleep is either. Why is that? I think the reasons are:

    Sleep research is a very young field (originated around the 1940s),
    In order to fully understand sleep, we have to understand consciousness. 2500 years of philosophy haven’t figured out what consciousness is and some people think that we will never be able to understand it,
    Sleep researchers usually don’t think about philosophy of mind very much and philosophers usually don’t think about sleep very much.
So we don’t have (and maybe never will have) a complete theory of sleep.

    “While we are asleep our bodies are still alert for changes in the world about us. Our vision, hearing, and sense of touch are still functioning, although at a lower level. We are still conscious; our brains are still working. It is just that our level of consciousness differs from that associated with being awake” – Coren, Stanley: Sleep ThievesThere Are Two Types of Sleep

Our sleep is comprised of two basic types of sleep: REM and nREM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement while nREM stands for … non-‘rapid eye movement’. You probably already heard of REM. It’s the stage where your eyes move (obviously) and you experience dreams.

There are four (or five) different sleep stages – three (or four) of them are nREM-stages, the other one is REM sleep.
