List of Goals

Number	Sleep Tip	Description
Tip 1	What Is Sleep Debt?	When we go a number of days without getting enough sleep, we accumulate "sleep debt." Having sleep debt makes us less able to function when we're awake, and what's more, it poses various risks to our health.
Tip 2	Can I Store Up Sleep?	Sleeping extra doesn't prevent sleep debt. It's best not to think of sleep like money in a bank-we can't store up sleep to withdraw later.
Tip 3	What's the Best Amount of Sleep?	The best amount of sleep for you is however much it takes to not feel tired during the day. Try to sleep the same amount every day-even on days off.
Tip 4	Short Sleepers	There are a very small number of people in the world who are known to be naturally "short sleepers"-that is, they can go without sleeping very much and still be healthy.
Tip 5	We Can't Reduce Our Sleep Needs	We're either born as short sleepers or we aren't. At present, it's just about impossible for us to deliberately turn ourselves into short sleepers.
Tip 6	What to Do When Short on Sleep	When we're short on sleep, getting enough sleep should be our top priority. It's recommended to save work and studies for later and focus on getting deep sleep.
Tip 7	When Should I Go to Bed?	Ideally, we should go to bed at an hour when we can fall asleep easily, rather than going out of our way to match someone else's schedule.
Tip 8	Morning People and Night People	People are born as early risers or night owls. It's said to be extremely hard for night people to deliberately become morning people.
Tip 9	Nighttime Meals	It's best to eat dinner three to four hours before bed at the latest. Digesting our food thoroughly before sleep is important.
Tip 10	Eating and Core Body Temperature	When our core body temperature drops, we get sleepy. Eating makes our internal organs start working, and that raises our core body temperature, making it harder to fall asleep.
Tip 11	Why Breakfast Matters (1)	We each run on our own biological clock, and its cycle isn't exactly 24 hours. Having breakfast after we wake up resets our biological clock, so we can ideally sync up with the 24-hour day cycle.
Tip 12	Social Jet Lag	If on weekends, we sleep for very long times-especially at later hours than on other days-we get "social jet lag." Not only is this detrimental to our health, it can also negatively impact how well we function when Monday comes.
Tip 13	Why Do We Sleep?	It's said that one of sleep's functions is to let our brains recover from fatigue. We need sleep to give our brains regular upkeep.
Tip 14	Body Temperature and Sleep	Having a high core body temperature makes it hard to sleep well. Taking a hot bath raises our core temperature, so a bath right before bed can make falling asleep a challenge.
Tip 15	Baths and Exercise Before Bed	It's recommended to finish up activities that raise core body temperature-such as bathing and exercise-at least an hour before bed.
Tip 16	Sleep Cycles	When we fall asleep, we start out dozing, then move back and forth between lighter and deeper sleep. Repetitions of these stages form what's known as sleep cycles.
Tip 17	Number of Sleep Cycles	In one night's sleep, we go through roughly four to six sleep cycles.
Tip 18	Length of Sleep Cycles	A single sleep cycle generally lasts around 90 minutes. But their lengths can vary from day to day, or even within the same night's sleep.
Tip 19	The Deep "Slumbering" Stage (1)	Slumbering is a deep-sleep stage that's said to be crucial for reinforcing and strengthening memory.
Tip 20	The Light "Snoozing" Stage (1)	In the snoozing stage of sleep, our brains may be in a state similar to being awake, even though our bodies are asleep.
Tip 21	The Light "Snoozing" Stage (2)	It was recently discovered that some parts of our brains are more active in the snoozing stage than they are when we're awake!
Tip 22	What Is Sleepiness?	In order to get to sleep, we need to be sleepy enough-but what exactly is sleepiness? How does it work? No one has a clear answer yet. Research into the question is ongoing.
Tip 23	Sleep and Hunger	Getting to sleep can be hard when you're very hungry. It may be best to avoid eating dinner too early as well as too late.
Tip 24	Careful with Caffeine	Caffeine affects the parts of our brains that are responsible for making us sleepy. It may be good to avoid caffeine starting five to six hours before you go to sleep.
Tip 25	Sleep and Body Temperature	It's said that our body temperatures start to cool around the time we fall asleep, and are lowest while we're sleeping. This change in temperature is thought to be another important factor in the quality of our sleep.
Tip 26	Biological Clocks (1)	Our biological clocks are what make us wake up and start functioning when the sun rises and get sleepy when night falls.
Tip 27	Biological Clocks (2)	Light is essential for regulating our biological clocks. The sight of sunlight soon after we wake up is what lets our bodies know it's morning.
Tip 28	Bright Light at Night	Our biological clocks are managed by a "master clock" in our brains. Seeing bright light at night throws off this master clock and interferes with sleep. It's good to keep our rooms as dark as possible when it's time for bed.
Tip 29	Is Staying Up All Night Bad for Us?	It's known that the more sleep we lose, the more prone we are to making mistakes. In other words, pulling an all-nighter to cram for a test can have the opposite effect to what we intend.
Tip 30	Do I Need Sleep to Grow?	Along with its other benefits, the deep sleep we get in the slumbering stage is said to be very important to growing up healthily.
Tip 31	Why Do We Dream?	No one yet knows for sure why we dream. But some have suggested that it has to do with the way our brains perform maintenance on themselves in our sleep.
Tip 32	How Long Kids Need to Sleep	How long we need to sleep depends on how old we are. Kids need to sleep for longer than adults do.
Tip 33	What Matters Most About Sleep	In our everyday lives, we tend to get less sleep than we should. First and foremost, you should try to prioritize getting as much sleep as you need.
Tip 34	Why We Roll Over in Our Sleep	If we stay in the same position the whole time we sleep, it can put strain on our bodies. Rolling over helps lighten that strain.
Tip 35	Too Much Tossing and Turning	When we sleep comfortably, we don't roll over too often. If we sleep on bedding that's too soft or too hard, we roll over more often to reduce the strain on our bodies.
Tip 36	The Effects of Snoring	Snoring a lot is known to make our sleep unstable. If you get the feeling you haven't been sleeping well, it may be worth looking into how much you've been snoring.
Tip 37	Sleep and Seasons	The changing of the seasons seems to be a factor in how long we sleep. It's said that we sleep less when days are longer and more when days are short.
Tip 38	Microsleeping	Building up lots of sleep debt can be dangerous-it may cause us to experience microsleeps, or momentary losses of consciousness. To prevent this, it's very important to sleep enough and in a consistent way every day.
Tip 39	Nodding Off During the Day	If you repeatedly find yourself getting sleepy and falling asleep easily during the day, it's probably a sign that you've built up lots of sleep debt. Please try hard to get enough sleep.
Tip 40	Do Dreams Come in Types, Too?	What stage of sleep we're in is known to affect what kinds of dreams we have. For example, research shows that our dreams tend to be more clearly memorable when we're dozing.
Tip 41	Sleep and Inspiration	We're said to be more creative after a good night's sleep than if we'd stayed awake all night.
Tip 42	Sleep and Immunity	How much sleep we get is said to be linked to our bodies' natural defenses. Some research suggests that getting less sleep can make us more prone to catching colds.
Tip 43	Lights Before Bedtime	Being in too-brightly-lit places before bed can impact our sleep. Adjusting the light in our surroundings may help bring healthier sleep.
Tip 44	Exhaustion and Sweet Cravings	If we don't get enough sleep, we may develop more of a sweet tooth than usual. This is said to be because lack of sleep affects the part of our brains that regulates food preferences.
Tip 45	When Sleepiness Strikes Midday	If you find yourself tired during the day, taking a 15- to 20-minute nap may help. But getting enough sleep at night is best, so don't forget to focus on that.
Tip 46	When Sleep is Elusive	If you have trouble falling asleep, it's better not to go to bed when you are not sleepy. It's important to do something relaxing and wait for sleepiness to set in, rather than try and force sleep.
Tip 47	Warm Feet	Some studies have shown that warming up our feet can help us sleep better. A foot bath before bed may be worth a try.
Tip 48	Why Breakfast Matters (2)	Eating breakfast within an hour after waking up is important for regulating our biological clocks. Even when we're busy, skipping breakfast and waiting until lunch isn't the best idea.
Tip 49	Chewing Is Important, Too	Eating without chewing your food well is said to throw off your sleep cycle. That means in order to sleep well, you need to chew well, too.
Tip 50	Keeping It Quiet During Sleep	Keeping your room as quiet as possible is one important factor in getting good sleep. It's said that sounds like people talking can be especially disruptive to sleep.
Tip 51	Room Temperature During Sleep	When you're sleeping, try to maintain the right temperature for you all the way until morning. Being too hot or too cold isn't good for your sleep.
Tip 52	Keeping the Room Dark	When going to sleep at night, it's best to be in as complete darkness as possible. If you feel unsafe, using a night light or other dim light is OK.
