Sleep – How to improve Sleep Quality
Sleep is nothing more than rest and regeneration. It’s an activity we spend one-third of our lives on. At night we repair tissues, rebuild muscles, regulate hormones, and organize emotions.
And yet, most of us… still sleep too little.
Today I prepared a complete guide for you on:
👉 what sleep really is
👉 why it’s so important
👉 what to eat before sleep
👉 which supplements actually work
👉 and most importantly — how to build proper sleep hygiene so you can finally wake up refreshed.
1. Sleep Phases – How Do We Sleep?
NREM PHASE – deep sleep
-
slow, low-frequency eye movements
-
4 stages, with the last being the deepest
-
lasts 80–100 minutes
REM PHASE – the dreaming phase
-
rapid eye movements
-
this is when we dream
-
lasts about 15 minutes
These phases repeat 4–5 times throughout the night, and their quality depends on your stress levels, recovery, and lifestyle habits.
2. Why is Sleep So Important
Sleep is like oxygen for humans.
✔️ Strengthens immunity
✔️ Regenerates the nervous and muscular system
✔️ Regulates hormones
✔️ Supports weight loss
✔️ Improves concentration and memory
✔️ Reduces disease risk
Chronic sleep deprivation = weakened immunity, frequent infections, poor concentration, slower reactions, and hormonal imbalance.
3. How Much Sleep Do We Need?
-
Newborns: 14–17 h
-
Infants: 12–15 h
-
School-aged children: ~9 h
-
Adults: 8–9 h
-
Seniors: 6–7 h
Most people sleep only 6–7 hours — which means we sleep TOO LITTLE.
4. What To Eat Before Sleep?
The most important rule: light, varied meals without heavy fats.
✔️ sandwiches, scrambled eggs
✔️ salads with pumpkin seeds
✔️ smoothies after late workouts
✔️ plenty of fruits and vegetables
Superfoods for better sleep:
-
cherries – freeze them, make jams or juice
-
kiwi – high in fiber and bioactive compounds
Avoid
-
heavy, fatty meals
-
alcohol (destroys deep sleep phase!)
5. What Time Should You Eat Your Last Meal?
Literature varies between 2–4 hours before bedtime.
But according to KiEdA’s V principles, eating right before bed is okay, as long as the meal is LIGHT.
6. Czy warto stosować suplementy na sen?
Natural supplements
-
lemon balm – calming
-
hops – supports falling asleep
-
ashwagandha – many benefits (choose high quality!)
-
valerian root – classic sleep support
Algae – add to smoothies
