10 secrets of sleeping beauty

According to the firm conviction of one of my friend, "the more we sleep, become more beautiful." Here it should be noted that the lady izrekshaya so profound truth looks quite remarkable: very large blonde from birth has different-sized eyes,

one of which is significantly decimated and, moreover, is very much kartavyaschaya. At the same time, however, her self-esteem is at the skies, character - is very controversial, and a lack of "fans" has never been and there is today.

Hearing from her beauty secret is so simple, I could not help sarcastic remarks such as: "So that's why you're so beautiful!", To which no response other than an expression of deep satisfaction, the girl followed. Imagine my surprise when I was holding the topic of sleep, I found that not so wrong was my friend.

True, one important caveat - it is important, not how much we sleep, and how and when. I propose to go a little further into the subject and try to identify the main beauty secrets "Sleeping Beauty".

1 Do not eat before going to bed!

Furthermore, recent meals that very definitely affect our figure, a belated dinner provides jobs for the whole night our stomach, which sometimes need a break, too. If you are impatient to eat - do it no later than 2 hours before bedtime and eat only bland foods (vegetables, fruits, dairy products).

2 Going desirable not later than 22-23 hours.

For a normal night's sleep is enough 5-6 hours .   According to the biological rhythms, the most useful time to sleep - from 23 pm to 5 am. In any case, your dream must seize the time from 2 am to 4 am. At this time, we sleep more deeply and "productive."

This afternoon sleep is not recommended! Especially desirable to bed before sunset. Ironically, the duration of sleep depends eaten the day: eat less, the less sleep. Incidentally, a very little sleep centenarians - no more than 4-6 hours. Per day. Draw your own conclusions!

3 Need to sleep head to the north or east.

Anyway, so we say our ancestors, citing the direction of the magnetic lines of the Earth. The ancestors of the Chinese people in their amusement teachings of Feng Shui recommends that each person find their own good direction for sleep, while being careful not to put the bed directly opposite the front door and not abusing the mirrors in the bedroom.

4 sleep better on a hard, flat surface.

As though it was tragic for the modern "Princess and the Pea," is much more useful to sleep on a firm mattress. On soft feather body inevitably bend, and it causes circulatory disorders of the spinal cord and the various organs, which are clamped. Furthermore, this leads to a denial of nerve endings that could adversely affect any part of the body.

No wonder those who have suffered a spinal injury and sciatica patients, doctors recommend sleeping on the bed quite hard. In addition, the lower will be your pillow - the better. The low head during sleep supports normal cervical spine, improves cerebral blood circulation, promotes the normalization of intracranial pressure, and even prevents the formation of wrinkles on the face and neck!

5 Sleep desirable naked.

This is not only very sexy, but great effect on our skin, allowing it to fully breathe during sleep. If you are cold - better cover the extra blanket.

6 The least useful to sleep on their stomachs.

The most beneficial posture during sleep - on its side, automatically turning over a few times during the night. But you can sleep on your back.

7 Your bed should be warm, and the air in the bedroom - cool!

Never disregard airing bedroom before going to bed, and remember that your linen should be fresh, warm and always beautiful. It is preferable - from natural cotton or linen. Of great importance is the color of linen and walls in the bedroom: Red helps insomnia, and the blue and green shades of calm. In recent years, there is evidence that the dark color of linen contribute to a better quality of sleep.

8 alarm clock to get up - bad!

The fact that our sleep is divided into cycles, each of which consists of phase "fast" and "slow" sleep different depths. Typically cycles last 60 to 90 minutes, and healthy people cycle less. For a complete rest enough sleep 4 of its circadian rhythm. However, normal sleep and circadian rhythm 6.

It is important not to interrupt sleep during the circadian rhythm! If you wake up the person in the middle of one of these intervals, it will feel overwhelmed. Therefore it is better not wake up alarm clock, but by "internal clock." If you still crank Service, you need to allocate time in such a way that a dream had a whole number of cycles.

9 do not lie in bed!

As soon as you wake up (and it may be early in the morning), it is necessary to smile, stretch, throw blanket and climb. We usually look at the clock, noting with satisfaction that it is too early, again lie down. But the benefits of such a maturing very doubtful!

Try to get up early and you'll notice how positive emotions and useful things will be added to your day. Gymnastics, slow water treatment, careful care, the ability to prepare a full and healthy breakfast. Perhaps the first will want to sleep, but remember that this is not a true need, but only a habit of body. Then it will pass.

10 Relax before going to bed!

Trite, but it brings a lot of positive emotions and great tunes on vacation:

warm bath with essential oils

glass of warm milk or tea with honey and mint and lemon balm,

dreams and thoughts about something pleasant,

brief walk before bedtime relaxing massage,

leisurely and gentle sex.

Well, it is believed that in the dream we spend almost half of my life. Therefore, you can certainly have advised a lot more any "useful".

However, it only makes sense if all described already complied us. However, in relaxation and pleasure (one of which is undoubtedly a sweet dream) unbecoming to force your body to perform and offered me the recommendations at all costs.

Try to do it with pleasure and you will see how to improve your mood, shine your eyes and face will light up a smile. But the smile - is the main condition of our beauty and unfailing remedy for male charm.

Wonderland dreams

Since ancient times, people are surrounded by an aura of mystery dreams, believing that they are sent to a higher power, and sought to interpret the dreams of the night the future. However, progress does not stand still, and many superstitions associated with dreams,

scientists could now be explained by brain research and methods of genetics. And with most of the conclusions they came to, according to Russian Orthodox Church.

Divination Joseph

About the interpretation of dreams there are many references in the Old Testament. In the history of the brothers sold into Egyptian slavery of Joseph prophetic dreams in general play a special role, and he is both a "dreamer" and as an interpreter of dreams.

The dreams of the biblical righteous in plant images (sheaves associated brothers bow sheaf associated Joseph), the astral (sun, moon and 11 stars - symbol of the father, mother and brothers - worship Joseph) transparently drawn forthcoming championship Joseph in the family . In the prison where Joseph gets slandered, his "inmates" are two notable prisoner - butler and baker of Pharaoh, and he interprets their dreams.

The butlers, who saw in a dream a vine with three branches, of which he squeezed the juice into the cup of Pharaoh, Joseph predicts that in three days he would be restored to his office, and asked him to tell Pharaoh about his innocence. Baker, who dreamed that on his head three baskets of bread dishes for Pharaoh, but the birds of their torn to pieces, Joseph predicts that in three days he would be executed, and the flesh of his rasklyuyut birds. Both predictions come true, but rehabilitated butler forgot Joseph's transfer request.

Two years later Pharaoh had a dream about seven fat cows devoured seven skinny cows, and dream about the seven good spikelets that devoured seven blasted with spikelets. The priests and soothsayers of Egypt can not interpret them. Then finally, the cupbearer remembers Joseph prisoner. Getting divination, he stresses: "It is not mine; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. "(Gen. 41, 16).

After hearing the two dreams, he argues that the next seven years will be particularly fertile for Egypt, and to be followed by seven years of severe crop failure. Auspex Joseph completely fulfilled, and the Pharaoh gave him extraordinary powers, putting "over all the land of Egypt." (Gen. 41, 41) - so great was in the old belief in prophetic dreams and their interpreters.

Blending dreams and waking

The first attempts to explore the dreams from a scientific point of view have been taken at the beginning of the XX century. The largest contribution to this, no doubt, belong to the German philosopher and psychiatrist Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Last I try to interpret dreams, guided by his famous theory of sexual desire.

According to him, most dreams can be explained by the secret sexual desires, complexes, human attempts to suppress its illicit public morality erotic fantasies. However, most scientists considered Freud's one-sided approach, pointing out that the dream does not only sexual desire but also many other factors. To them, it is quite obvious are the physical and mental state of sleep.

The veil over the nature of dreams opened a crack, when the opportunity to do an electroencephalogram - in other words, to record the natural electrical activity of the brain with the help of the head placed on the surface of the electrode.

Experts know that the dream of man is not uniform: it is divided into two phases - rapid eye movement sleep and slow. Dreaming visit asleep in REM sleep, which, as it is divided into parts and alternates with the phase of REM sleep. Thus, the dream is interrupted the process, it consists of small passages interspersed complete oblivion. And only after waking human brain collects dreamed pictures together.

Almost all researchers agree that we are not able to accurately reproduce the content of their dreams. The fact is that in the moment of awakening the human brain through the organs of hearing and vision begins to perceive the world around us - and the result is a dream mixes with reality. Working in another room TV, talk, noise coming from the street, may interfere with intricately into the fabric of a dream.

Man sometimes thinks with absolute certainty that he had a dream, but in fact some parts already in reality he conjectures. Another, no less important fact is that in the dream quite differently perceived time and space broken the causal relationships.

The man is awake, aims to build on the content of the laws of the real world. He instinctively nonsense smoothes and corrects inconsistencies, urging dreamed pictures under the laws of formal logic and distorting thus the plot of sleep. Finally, we must bear in mind the tendency of people to self-suggestion.

For example, a person survives the death of a loved one, dreams of an obscure way, to hear his voice and inspires himself that it was just late. During the study, more than 60 percent of those surveyed, after a detailed analysis of their dreams were forced to admit that many fragments of dreams they have become clear only after careful consideration and, therefore, guessing.

Thus, the researchers concluded that the interpretation of dreams can not be considered accurate because the person clearly does not remember what he had seen.

Recent studies have shown that the human sleep adversely affects the radiation coming from computers and cell phones.

Many people today have got a habit to put a mobile phone next to the bed or under the pillow, using it as an alarm clock. However, the phone is constantly connected to the transmitter and the radiation coming from him even when it does not say. Experiments have shown that radiation of cellular telephones, computers and other precision devices affect REM sleep.

It can not only make it distorted, but does deprive a person of the need for rest phase, which often leads to neuropsychiatric disorders. The most categorical researchers generally advised to remove the cell phones of the room where you sleep.
