Sleep problems
are
becoming more frequent in society and affect health.
Work, economy, stress, threaten leisure and adequate rest.
Hence, a
neuroscientist at Stanford University (USA)
determined how
to calculate the exact time to go to bed
.
It is clear that each family is a world, as the old phrase says, and therefore
there is no universal time to go to bed to sleep
, because each one has different rhythms.
However, an investigation could shed light on a factor that may reveal the key to knowing what time to "lower the blind".
Problems with work, economy lead to stress and insomnia.

What is the best time to go to sleep
Dr.
Andrew Huberman
,
from Stanford University, in California
, confided what could be the best time to sleep, publishes
The
Sun.
"Your
energy drop
in the afternoon usually occurs at 2:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m.? Take note for a few days," the doctor wrote on Twitter.
"Assuming there are no major changes in your night's sleep or you eat an especially large lunch, your ideal bedtime is most likely
six to seven hours after that slump
," he adds.
Beyond numbers and speculation, it is always worth pointing out that when faced with sleep disorders, it is best to
consult a medical professional.
A neuroscientist provides his formula for bedtime.

Circadian Cycle and Calculation
Sleep patterns are controlled by the circadian cycle, the body's natural clock.
The term refers to the physiological changes that occur to make you feel more alert or drowsy, spreads
20 Minutes
.
For example, in the morning, the
body releases hormones
that wake you up in response to sunlight.
He adds: However, as the day progresses, it begins to release other chemicals that can cause tiredness, known as
postprandial depression.
Huberman believes that the key to knowing when to go to sleep can be found by monitoring when this slump occurs, as it gives an indication of
how far along you are in your sleep-wake cycle.
Each person has different sleep patterns.
In this way, in a few days, taking notes with pencil and paper or on the cell phone, you can
obtain the magic number with its formula.
For example, if a person begins to feel tired around 3:00 p.m., they should try to fall asleep between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., according to their theory.
