Good Lifestyle

Once we leave us go to sleep, we are confronted with 8 hours of dreams and rest, to wake up the feeling rejuvenated with little or no memory of the many hours we prepared unconscious. Here are all weird things our body passes through when we catch some of ZZZ.

1. First of all, we start our sleep in a non-REM phase, known as N1 stage. This progress at the deeper step n3, where our spirits become progressively less sensitive to the stimuli around us, making it more difficult to wake up, and slow down all the functions down.

2. Half of our night has passed in N2 or between phase, which is where scientists believe long-term memories are ranked far.

3. Then you press the REM phase. Your eyes dart and come quickly, and pulse, temperature and breathing to rehabilitate the levels. While your body remains, your sympathetic nervous system is lit.

4. Our body suffer the sleep phases up to five times a night. Paradoxal sleep lasts only a few minutes, but gets more at each cycle until it reaches a duration of 30 minutes.

5. Your temperature drops a few degrees as you get asleep, and the lowest two hours before your wake up point. Your body thermometer is turned off during paradoxical sleep.

6. Paralysis - a temporary kind. The brain trunk plays a key role in the sleep process, communicating with the hypothalamus and the creation of a chemical called GABA that "calm awakening centers" that could negatively affect sleep. The cerebral trunk then sends signals to temporarily paralyze the muscles than the movement mobility of the body.

7. Your body is flooded with hormones - melatonin controls sleep habits and is controlled by the pineal gland. Your pituitary gland releases a growth hormone, which causes your body to repair and heal.

8. Your body and cytokines release from the immune system, which are small proteins that combat inflammation, trauma and infections of all kinds. That's why sleep when you are sick or weak is important - it helps your immune system develop and operate optimally.

9. Do you know when you sometimes feel lame to fall into your sleep? He calls a hypnagical jolt, and is common when you fall asleep. It occurs when your body is paralyzed mid dream, but a dream starts before the body is in full "off" in mode.

10. You start losing your skin. This is not the cutest appearance of sleep, but our skin throws every night because it generates new cells. About one third of your pillow weight is composed of dead skin cells.
