I was on my way back home after completing my duties at school. I was waiting at the metro station for the metro to come. I met my old student, Sarla. She said, " Madam, what happens in the morning time is very peculiar. After 5 am temperature of #environment gets a little cooler, and the body becomes #comfortable. I get deeper sleep and am in no #mood to get up early in the morning. I always wonder why it is so.
Science #finding indicates that sleep hormone #"melatonin" responds to darkness and cooler temperatures. Therefore, I found that in the morning I get deep sleep. But unfortunately, it is time to get up and make myself ready to go to school for my #teaching duties. "
I said, "If one gets good sleep at night, one feels fresh and #relaxed the whole day. Good sleep is a sign of #good health. Good sleep regulates all #hormones secreted in one's body."
I further said, "In Austria, people are particular about #sleep hormones. In order that people get good sleep, they open their house window at a frequency of 2 hours for a short while so that the air inside the house, which is moist due to cooking and #breathing, etc, gets replaced by cool, fresh air. This activity brings a lowering of temperature which response to more production of the sleep hormone through the brain glands. "
This process of opening windows of the house/ working place to make the house full of cool, fresh air, is customary in Austria. This practice is a fabric of Austrian culture. They call it #"Luften Time".
Moral -To get good sleep, one should make sure that bedroom has enough #darkness and #cooler temperature available.
