We all know someone whom people call masandal, tulog or those who could easily fall asleep anywhere, anytime. On the other hand, we most probably also know someone who is the opposite of just that. They can’t just fall asleep even if they want to. And then there are those who are in the middle – with occasionally changing sleeping habits. 

We all sleep differently because so many factors play a role in it. How we sleep depends on what we do daily. Does your job involve manual labor? Do you work the night shift? It also depends on seemingly unimportant things like what time you drink coffee or eat your dinner. And of course, there are the important ones, too, like do you exercise regularly? Do you follow a balanced diet? Do you know how to wind down and stay away from screens when it’s right around bedtime? Then there are also extreme situations where people might be experiencing sleeping disorders or other health conditions that affect a person’s quality of sleep. 

Getting some downtime at the end of the day is an essential process for physical and mental restoration, not to mention how it affects the way we feel the next day. When you allow yourself to recharge, it helps take good care of your mind and body. Not getting enough rest may lead us to experience the problems of lack of sleep like the inability to think or concentrate, feeling low and out of sorts, unable to do what you want to do, and enjoying what life has to offer. Sleep also plays a very important role in one’s health as it is involved in the healing and repairing of your heart and blood vessels, supporting physical growth and development, as well as maintaining a responsive immune system. 

At the same time, having a healthy lifestyle can also affect how we sleep. Several studies show that regular exercise in the morning, afternoon, or early evening can be helpful – as long as it’s not right before bedtime. Not to mention, having a proper diet will also be an important factor as too many calories or fat in your diet, or lack of nutrients can influence how we get enough sleep. That’s why maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and proper diet, as well as getting enough rest, can influence one another in helping keep our health in check.
