Sleep as a form of rest
Sleep is a vital need of the body.
During sleep, skeletal muscles relax greatly, which is a necessary condition for proper rest. Smooth muscles (vessels, bronchi, sphincters of internal organs), on the contrary, are in a state of increased tone. The breathing and heart rate noticeably slow down, but the depth of breathing increases, which indicates more active night activity of some organs and structures. Body temperature decreases slightly, the basal metabolic rate drops by 10-15%, which indicates greater efficiency of the body's work. Catabolic processes slow down significantly. Blood sugar and bilirubin levels decrease.
It is very interesting that during sleep, periods occur from time to time when the electroencephalogram of a sleeping person is no different from the electroencephalogram of a waking person. At this time, the sleeping person experiences rapid movements of the eyeballs and muscle tone, against the background of which periodic twitching of individual mimes occurs, breathing quickens, and blood pressure rises. A sleeping organism seems to be “awake in a dream,” such sleep is called “paradoxical” or rapid sleep. It is at this time that a person dreams. If a person is woken up at this time, he can immediately tell the dream he had.
With age, the duration of paradoxical sleep and its specific gravity decrease; blood flow in the vessels of the brain during paradoxical sleep increases by 2 times, which indicates a high level of nervous activity. If a person is deprived of the rapid phase of sleep, then throughout the day he feels lethargic and exhausted, and the next night the duration of this phase compensatory increases.
How can sleep be modified to enhance anabolic responses, slow catabolic responses, and promote faster recovery from strenuous exercise?
One of the simplest ways is to make sleep polyphasic, i.e. repeatedly during the day. This leads to a greater decrease in basal metabolism and a greater slowdown in catabolism than with a single (monophasic) sleep during the day. The release of somatotropic hormone, which is intended for the breakdown of fat and utilization of fatty acids during sleep, increases significantly. Naturally, at the same time, protein-synthetic processes in the body are also enhanced, because somatotropin is the strongest anabolic factor.
When changing monophasic sleep to biphasic sleep, the total daily sleep duration may not change.
If, for example, a person sleeps for 8 hours once a day at night, then an hour of daytime sleep automatically leads to a decrease in the need for night sleep by 1 hour. As a result, a person sleeps 7 hours at night and 1 hour during the day. Sometimes the duration of night sleep decreases by even more than 1 hour, and can reach 6 or even 5 hours.

Benefits of sleep
The benefits of sleep are very difficult to overestimate. Almost all body systems work normally only with full sleep. Healthy sleep is as necessary as air, food and water.
This is what happens to our body during sleep:
This is not a complete list of the beneficial properties that sleep has on human health. Hormonal levels are restored, and growth hormones are released, which is very important for children. Memory improves and concentration increases, so in order to complete urgent work, it is recommended not to sit all night, but rather get some sleep so you can get ready.
Everyone knows that a person cannot live without rest, just as he cannot live without food and water. But nevertheless, most people continue to disrupt their biorhythms and do not devote enough time to rest at night.
Health and sleep are very closely related, so practicing sleep hygiene is extremely important.
General information
As the dream book predicts, rest represents fatigue, which the dreamer cannot get rid of. If he continues at the same pace, he simply won’t last long. To increase your own efficiency, you need to learn to work not for days, but using various techniques.
Why do you dream about the Procession of the Cross?
Why do you dream about abroad?

Rest in a dream
As they say, there is time for business and time for fun, but how can you allocate it for your own relaxation if everyone needs your help? Sometimes a dream plot should not be interpreted literally, since the subconscious tries to give its own interpretation of events occurring in real life.
Miller's Dream Book
Resting in a dream means that unfamiliar people will come to visit you. Of course, you will have to show your skills as a hospitable host, since influential individuals may be among them. Having secured their approval, you can count on help in problematic matters.
If a young representative of the fair sex is dissatisfied with her pastime, this means that her own insolence will allow her to win her partner from her rival. Only she will have to decide whether she needs a person who decides to exchange her for another.
Dream Interpretation from A to Z
The night dream in which you decided to rest reflects accumulated physical fatigue, which prevents you from effectively organizing work processes. Malaise is the first signal of an impending problem, and therefore you need to think through your next steps in advance.
Interpretation for girls
Great importance is given to the purpose for which you decide to take a vacation:
- take a break from work - your efforts aimed at maintaining perfect order will be in vain;
- a possible change of activity - to a possible change of place of residence or work.
Dream book of lovers
A girl who didn’t like her vacation will have to spend a lot of time and effort before she will be respected in the team. As practice shows, gaining authority is not an easy task, and therefore the end results will certainly please you.
Dream book for a bitch
According to the presented dream interpreter, the vacation seen reflects excellent oratory skills, which one should learn to use correctly.
Seeing your favorite vacation spot in a dream
To enjoy an unplanned vacation in a dream means your assertiveness will amaze those around you, and they will want to provide all possible help. Ultimately, you will become the only contender for obtaining the coveted result. The main thing is to objectively assess your capabilities and compare them with the requirements.
Women's dream book
If you dreamed about relaxing in a night dream, this means possible difficulties in your professional field. The subconscious is trying to warn you about this, and therefore it is better to protect yourself from the daily routine. A few days of rest will lead to amazing results.
Seeing your favorite vacation spots means receiving good news from a loved one. If you have guessed what the conversation will be about, you should not show it, otherwise the surprise will not work.
According to another interpretation from the Women's Dream Book, a pleasant reward awaits you. Perhaps your bosses have been watching your work for a long time and are ready to give you a break. In some cases, the plot seen tries to convince the sleeper that he is spending too much time on rest, forgetting about work. The fact is that it is unlikely that anyone will need such an employee, and therefore the probability of dismissal is high.
Relax in a dream with the whole family
The newest dream book of G. Ivanov
It is believed that there is no better dream in which the whole family can get together and go on vacation. The dream book says that the dreamer can expect good health and complete harmony in relationships with other people. In simple terms, a bright streak awaits a person in life.
What company?
The holiday may differ depending on who decides to join the company. You will have to remember the people who surrounded you in your dream.
Friends
Spending your vacation with a close friend means receiving pleasant emotions in real life. If you haven't been able to get out for a walk in a long time, now is the time to do it.
Relaxing with a deceased friend means renewing old but pleasant relationships. If you are at enmity with someone, then you should take the first step towards reconciliation and not think about the consequences.
To dream that parents are resting
Relatives
To dream of your mother and father deciding to go on vacation with you means that you are unable to take responsibility for your own decisions and actions. The dream interpreter insists that the time has come to pick up the pieces and start adult life.
Spiteful critics
Why might you dream of relaxing with enemies? Such a plot predicts the emergence of influential people who are ready to help find a common language. You will be surprised at how wrong you are about other people. If you dreamed of an obnoxious boss, it means that positive changes in your career will occur in your life. The main thing is to continue to work on yourself, and then management will notice your achievements.
Night rest structure
Sleep is not as simple a phenomenon as it seems at first glance. This is why we sleep for several hours and get enough sleep, but you can go to bed on time and wake up completely exhausted. How sleep works and how this mechanism works is still being studied by doctors and scientists. The norm for an adult is to rest for 8 hours a day. During this period, you experience several complete cycles, which are divided into smaller phases.
In general, healthy sleep includes:
The ratio between the slow and fast phase changes. A person experiences the full cycle several times during the night. At the very beginning of the night's rest, slow sleep makes up 90% of the entire cycle, and in the morning, on the contrary, the fast phase predominates.
During each period of sleep, the body receives its share of benefits. Therefore, for complete recovery, a person needs to go through the full cycle at least 4 times a night. Good sleep is the key to health. Then you will wake up in a good mood and full of energy.
Plot details
When interpreting a dream, various nuances of the dream are taken into account:
- seaside resort - expect changes in your personal life;
- a trip there means mental decline, languor;
- rest - a secret love adventure;
- foreign resort - the sleeper will attract old friends to resolve an important issue.
Also, seeing yourself in a sunny resort town near the sea in a dream is a successful course of business, a fun pastime. A trip there is dissatisfaction with reality, the environment, which seems boring. We need to change this mood.
Dreamed of a chic foreign resort? The dream book says: there is a whirlwind romance ahead with a person whose all interests are limited to their own benefit.
Rules for healthy sleep
Proper organization and hygiene of sleep guarantees strong immunity, normal functioning of the nervous system, and also makes sleep itself sound, which increases its effectiveness for health. Here are the basic rules that must be followed to fall asleep peacefully and have good spirits in the morning.
This is basic sleep hygiene:
In addition, before going to bed, you should distract yourself and not watch TV or listen to loud music. The nervous system needs to prepare, and for this you can do yoga or meditation.
A warm bed, correct body position, sleep hygiene, and the absence of stressful situations will help you fall asleep peacefully and sleep soundly throughout the night.
