HOW WATER IMPROVES SLEEP AND ENERGY LEVELS

1. This article suggests water before bed improves sleep – how does this work?

Drinking water before bedtime enables sweating that cools the body. As you sleep, the water helps achieve the required core body temperature that initiates sleepiness. It also prevents indigestion and relieves pain, giving a cool and uninterrupted night. People with a flu or cold can drink hot water before sleeping to relieve the symptoms, thus acquiring calmness for sleep.

2. Other advice tends to suggest that water can improve alertness and wakefulness – how does this work?

 A well hydrated body functions more productively, resulting in a high energy boost that keeps you alert. Also, getting up from your desk to fetch water helps exercise your body and keeps you awake. This prevents unnecessary nap at your working station, making you more functional and focused.

3. Is water better for wakefulness, sleepiness, or both? How/why?

Drinking water keeps your wakefulness more than sleepiness. Moving from your seat to the water point at intervals to hydrate makes you alert and focused. Hydration also facilitates proper body functioning with heightened energy, thus increasing wakefulness. Dehydration makes you dull and fatigued.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
