<h3>Learning about sleep helps us to dispel inaccurate information, especially about insomnia, which is a difficulty for 1 in 5 adults.</h3>
<p>Understanding what can help to get back into a good sleeping pattern is the key even when it’s unclear what a good sleeping pattern is!</p>
<p>
Here at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research we have compiled three modules on sleep based on decades of research into sleep and sleep disorders. The
modules help to explain what sleep is, why we need it and how to optimise it.

<p class="text-center">
Sleep is a complex active process that all living organisms need. It is an interplay of biological and behavioural processes that are essential for normal
bodily functioning. We are all learning more about sleep every day but there are some important points to consider:
</p>
<div class="img img-center">
<img src="assets/images/img-05.png" alt="image description" />
</div>
<ol class="numbered-list">
<li>
<strong>1.</strong>
<p>
Sleep has different stages that are important for these different functions. Most of our sleep is relatively ‘light’, some is ‘deeper’ and there is a type
of sleep that is similar to a wake-like state where we have most of our dreams. We move through these different stages regularly throughout the night often
in 90-minute cycles.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>2.</strong>
<p>Sleep is <b>not</b> simply an absence of wakefulness. It is an important time when different functions take place in both our minds and our bodies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>3.</strong>
<p>Sleep follows a natural rhythm that also aligns with body temperature and hormonal patterns.</p>

<span>Why do we sleep?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide js-acc-hidden">
<p>
Sleep is a natural need, associated with many vital functions, including rest for the brain and the body. During the day there is a build-up of substances in
the body, known as metabolic waste, which is cleared during sleep.
</p>
<p>
Think about how aching and tired muscles and a worn-out brain from working overtime at work both feel suddenly better when you wake up from a good sleep. Other
important functions are optimised with good sleeping habits including emotional regulation, consolidation of learning and memories, and hormone regulation.

<span>How do we sleep and how much?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide js-acc-hidden">
<p>
There is no magic number when it comes to the perfect amount of sleep. Generally, most adults will need sleep for anywhere between 6.5-8.5 hours but this
differs amongst everyone. There are also multiple factors that can temporarily influence the length of sleep including pain, menopausal symptoms, bladder
issues, life changes and life stressors (money, bereavement, health issues etc.).
</p>
<p>
The ideal amount of sleep changes across the lifetime. Older adults, for example, normally have reduced amounts of deep sleep and wake more frequently while
newborn babies will sleep for 14-18 hours, though not all at once.
</p>
<div class="text-group">
<div class="img img-left">
<img src="assets/images/img-09.png" alt="image description" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>
We cycle through different stages of sleep approximately every 90 minutes. These cycles are made up of Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, where our brain
is resting, and the body is active and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) when we have most of our dreams.
</p>
<h3>We spend most of our time in light sleep (45-55%) where we can move and are easily woken.</h3>
<p>
We can also have very light sleep, between awakenings, for 5% of the night. We only spend 20% of the night in deep sleep (NREM) and during this period,
growth hormones are secreted.
</p>
<p>This is why teenagers need more sleep than the rest of us!</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>In REM sleep, the brain is active and almost awake, whilst the body is semi-paralysed.</p>
<p>
As mentioned before, it is believed that most of our dreaming occurs during this type of sleep, whether we remember them or not! We spend 75% of the night in
NREM sleep, especially earlier in the night and the remaining 25% in REM sleep.

<span>When do we need sleep?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide js-acc-hidden">
<p>
We are familiar with the feeling of needing sleep, or times when we don’t feel particularly tired either. To enable sleep, we need to build up a ‘sleep debt’
which occurs after being awake for at least 8 hours and is the trigger for sleep. This needs to be at the right time of day, which relates to our circadian
rhythms. Simply put, individuals need to sleep at night and be awake and alert during the day.

<div class="text-group">
<div class="img">
<img src="assets/images/img-10.png" alt="image description" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>
Darkness is a natural trigger for sleep in humans. Once there is a lack of natural light, our body releases Melatonin, the “sleep” hormone which has an
hypnotic effect on the body and drops the body temperature.
</p>
<p>
In the morning, light messages supress the release of melatonin and reverses this hypnotic effect, increases body temperature rendering us more “alert”.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h3>Fun fact: A typical room light is only around 0.002% of the intensity of the sun, highlighting how much the sun’s light can impact our wakefulness.</h3>
<p>This finding exemplifies how tough shift work and especially night shifts to maintain a reasonable sleep pattern.</p>

<span>What is Insomnia?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide">
<p>
By definition, insomnia means “difficulty initiating (getting to sleep) or maintaining sleep (staying asleep)” and usually requires these sleep problems to be
disruptive for at least 3 out of 7 nights per week and be persistent for six months or more. Individuals with insomnia report a racing mind, tossing and turning
as well as physical tension whilst in bed. Recent research supports how many individuals with insomnia have overactive brains during sleep and the brain is in a
wake-like state contributing to poor sleep quality which is a central feature of insomnia. Many individuals wake up feeling unrefreshed in the morning and are
tired during the day – being “wired & tired”.
</p>
<p>
Experiencing difficulties getting to sleep or staying asleep at some point is also normal. However, when this occurs every night, it is a symptom of insomnia
and can negatively impacting on day-to-day life.
</p>
<h3>
This is the reality for approximately 20% of adults <br />
(that’s 1 in 5 people!) and may increase with age.

<span>What causes Insomnia?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide js-acc-hidden">
<p>
Insomnia is complex and different for each person. There can be obvious reasons as to why insomnia started such as medical conditions that affect sleep but
there are often other factors that maintain the poor cycle. Some people may be more likely to have insomnia based on predisposing factors like their family
history and the environmental factors.
</p>
<div class="text-group">
<div class="img img-left">
<img src="assets/images/img-11.png" alt="image description" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>
More often, insomnia stems from a sleep disruption followed by the development of poor sleep habits as a compensatory adaptation. Life changes and
stressors, relationship/family issues, discomfort and illness including pain, depression and anxiety, shiftwork, diet, bedroom factors and sleeping pills
are just some of the precipitating factors that can throw a normal sleeping routine out of whack.
</p>
<p>
Recognising if insomnia symptoms have a clear causal factor which can be easily remedied is important such another sleep disorder or night-time pain. Other
investigations may also be necessary to uncover deeper issues contributing to the insomnia such as anxious thoughts which are cued to being in bed.

<span>Is insomnia dangerous?</span>
</a>
<div class="accordion-slide js-acc-hidden">
<h3>Research suggests that insomnia is not a mortality risk, but it can greatly affect our quality of life.</h3>
<p>
The impacts of insomnia are not just night-based but appear as very real daytime problems including poor concentration, daytime tiredness, irritability and
moodiness, and can easily effect the entire household.
</p>
<p>Each of these issues can then result in difficulties maintaining work performance and/or fatigue related accidents.</p>
