to sleep deeply. The constant pressure of work and deadlines can cause stress and irregularity in eating habits. Stress is the biggest reason for our continued lack of sleep, and it can have long-term adverse health effects. Poor eating habits can also cause nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to insomnia.
Our modern lifestyle, especially sedentary, causes metabolic problems that lead to many hormonal imbalances, and all these, hamper our sleep cycle and overall health.
Humans have three stages of sleep
Two phases of light sleep
In the first phase, the body moves more, but the muscles begin to relax, breathing begins to slow down, and the pressure begins to decrease. In the second phase, the body’s movement is reduced, the heartbeats slow down even more, muscles begin to relax more, breathing slows down and brain activity is reduced.
A deep sleep phase
At this stage, the body tends to move much less, breathing slows down, the heartbeat becomes even slower than in phase two of light sleep and brain activity becomes minimal.
After these three phases, our bodies wake up feeling rejuvenated in the morning, but stress tends to put our sleep cycle completely out of balance and our light sleep phase increases or goes on. And when our light sleep phase is predominant, we wake up feeling exhausted.
Fortunately, a recipe with just two simple ingredients can replenish our lack of sleep if taken regularly.
These two ingredients are
Cinnamon
