(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 23, 2015 ) London, UK -- It's no secret that sleep deprivation involves emotional, physical and mental risks. Some gladly take this risk in favor of meeting work-related deadlines, cramming for exams, or partying the night away. What most people do not realize is that the harms associated to the lack of sleep does not only affect oneself.
Sleep-deprived persons typically need more time to react or respond to quick stimulation. This would make normal, every-day activities like driving or crossing the street potentially dangerous. It also dampens the person's thinking abilities, which makes remembering, decision making and information processing trickier.
Sadly, there are those who do not intentionally deprive themselves of sleep. There are some who exert effort to put themselves to bed hoping that sleep will come their way but to no avail. There are many reasons why this happens, but recent studies have shown that the most common one is light exposure.
According to the research, people who are exposed to light during sleep are less likely to enter into REM state, or deep sleep. It is during REM that the body attempts to recover and self-heal. Prolonged inability to enjoy deep sleep can increase the risk of many chronic diseases, and the weakening of the immune system. To address this, researchers suggest wearing of masks like the Smarter Rest Eye Mask or any other eye mask that can block all light, especially that which peak through the sides of the nose.
It is important to note that it is not the length of sleep that actually determines how well the body recuperates, but the quality of sleep. Those who repeatedly wake up feeling fatigued and distressed despite having slept 7-8 hours should consider sleeping in total darkness. Wearing masks like the Smarter Rest Sleeping Mask can be one way, but there are many other ways to block light. The simplest would be turning off all sources of light, including the television, digital alarm clocks, digital photo frames and all other light-emitting screens. Adding thick curtains and draperies will also help as they can effectively block light coming from outside the room.
It is also noteworthy to know that people can also enter into REM state even during daytime. By wearing eye covers like a Smarter Rest sleep mask or some other face masks that can block all light paired with a couple of ear plugs or listening to sounds that mimic evening noise, anyone can simulate night time and induce the body to fall asleep.
