Sleep plays a vital role in our overall wellbeing and is crucial to maintaining good physical and mental health. It allows us to rest, repair and rejuvenate our bodies. However, many of us know that getting quality sleep can be a challenge, resulting in sleepy and tired mornings.

In this blog, we will discuss why we need sleep, the function of the circadian rhythm, the reasons why we feel tired even after sleeping, what can prevent us from falling asleep when we are exhausted, and most importantly, how to improve our sleep.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SLEEP?

Sleep is a biological necessity that allows our body to recover and recharge. During sleep, our brain consolidates memories, repairs tissues, regulates hormones, and strengthens the immune system. “Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep” by Dr. Matthew Walker is a comprehensive and enlightening read on the topic, explaining how we can harness sleep to increase longevity and reduce our risk of cancer, Alzheimer’s, obesity, and diabetes.

The effects of sleep play out in both the short and long term: a poor night's sleep can lead us to consume more coffee or reach for sugary, carb-laden foods for quick energy, creating a cycle of poor sleep habits. Conversely, if you sleep well, you feel more energized to exercise, more productive at work, and able to make healthier food choices.

WHAT IS CIRCADIAN RHYTHM?

The circadian rhythm is the body's "internal clock" that regulates the sleep-wake cycle over a 24-hour period. This biological system is influenced by external factors, such as light and darkness, and helps maintain a regular sleep pattern by adjusting our level of alertness and sleepiness at different times of the day. Maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm is crucial for good rest and overall well-being.

WHY DO I FEEL TIRED AFTER SLEEPING?

Have you ever woken up feeling tired, even after a seemingly adequate amount of sleep? This can be due to a number of reasons, the most common being poor sleep quality. Factors such as a disruptive sleep environment, sleep disorders, and even certain medications can affect the quality of our rest, leaving us drowsy and fatigued. Additionally, inconsistent sleep schedules or frequent awakenings during the night can also contribute to feeling tired even after sleeping.

WHY DO I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING EVEN THOUGH I'M TIRED?

Sometimes, even though we feel exhausted, we still find it difficult to fall asleep. This can be due to a number of factors, including stress, anxiety, or an overactive mind. Racing thoughts, worries, and a high presence of cortisol (our stress hormone) can disrupt our ability to relax and enter a restful state. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as excessive caffeine consumption, irregular sleep patterns, or exposure to stimulating screens before bed can also interfere with sleep.

WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE MY SLEEP?

First and foremost, address your bedtime routine and improve your sleep hygiene—that means maintaining a regular bedtime, avoiding screens before bed, and cutting back on alcohol and caffeine.

If you are looking for a natural remedy to improve the quality of your sleep, our night capsules (Ganbatte Recharge) could be the solution you need. Made with a powerful combination, this supplement is formulated to relieve anxiety, calm racing thoughts, and induce deep, restful sleep.

While a good night’s sleep can provide us with short-term benefits such as renewed energy and focus, getting regular, good sleep is beneficial for our overall health and well-being. Regular use of Ganbatte Recharge can help reset your circadian rhythm.
