Tips & FAQ

  • QUESTION 1

    What is the ideal sleep duration?

    The ideal sleep duration for adults is 7-9 hours. However, there are individual differences - some people need only 6 hours while others need 9 hours. Sleep quality is more important than duration.

  • QUESTION 2

    What are the main causes of insomnia?

    Main causes include psychological factors (stress, anxiety, depression), substance factors (caffeine, alcohol, medications), environmental factors (noise, light), and irregular lifestyle rhythms.

  • QUESTION 3

    What are the symptoms of sleep apnea syndrome?

    Main symptoms include loud snoring, breathing stops during sleep, strong daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, decreased concentration, and frequent nighttime urination. If left untreated, it increases risk of hypertension and heart disease.

  • QUESTION 4

    How to create a good sleep environment?

    Ideal conditions are room temperature 18-22°C, humidity 50-60%, dark and quiet environment. Blackout curtains, earplugs, and eye masks are also effective. Choose bedding that fits your body.

  • QUESTION 5

    What should be avoided before bedtime?

    Avoid caffeine intake (6 hours before bedtime), large amounts of alcohol, intense exercise, overeating, smartphone/PC/TV use (blue light), and bright lighting.

  • QUESTION 6

    Do naps affect nighttime sleep?

    Short naps of 15-20 minutes (power naps) are effective for fatigue recovery, but naps longer than 30 minutes or in the evening may interfere with nighttime sleep.

  • QUESTION 7

    Are sleeping pills safe?

    They are safe when used appropriately under medical prescription, but there are issues with dependency and tolerance. First try improving sleep hygiene, and consult a doctor if necessary.

  • QUESTION 8

    What's the relationship between age and sleep?

    With aging, deep sleep decreases and middle-of-night awakening increases. Elderly people tend to go to bed and wake up earlier than young people, which is due to changes in the body clock.

  • QUESTION 9

    What's the relationship between exercise and sleep?

    Regular exercise improves sleep quality, but intense exercise within 3 hours of bedtime has an awakening effect and should be avoided. Light stretching or yoga is effective even before bedtime.

  • QUESTION 10

    What's the relationship between diet and sleep?

    Finish dinner 3 hours before bedtime and avoid overeating before sleep. Foods containing tryptophan (milk, bananas, nuts) and magnesium (green vegetables, seaweed) are said to be good for sleep.

  • QUESTION 11

    What's the relationship between stress and sleep?

    Chronic stress increases cortisol secretion and reduces sleep quality. Stress management through relaxation techniques, meditation, and deep breathing is important.

  • QUESTION 12

    What is circadian rhythm disorder?

    A condition where you can't sleep or wake up at appropriate times due to disrupted body clock. Caused by shift work, jet lag, or night-oriented lifestyle. Light therapy and lifestyle rhythm adjustment are effective.

  • QUESTION 13

    What's the point of keeping a sleep diary?

    Recording bedtime, wake time, sleep quality, and daytime sleepiness helps identify sleep patterns and problems. It also provides useful information when consulting doctors.

  • QUESTION 14

    How to improve snoring?

    Effective methods include sleeping on your side, adjusting pillow height, focusing on nasal breathing, reducing alcohol, and losing weight. Mouth breathing prevention tape and nasal dilator strips are also useful.

  • QUESTION 15

    When should I consult a sleep specialist?

    Consult a specialist if you have insomnia lasting more than a month, strong daytime sleepiness, loud snoring with breathing stops, morning headaches, or significantly decreased concentration.
