Around the Sleeping

Allegedly, the sleep before midnight the healthiest. Is this true?
This is individually different. The most valuable are the first four to five hours after falling asleep. Ensuring the morning after waking up again to turn brings on the other hand, hardly anything.

Are sleeping eight hours a day for each the right measure?
The average need for sleep is slightly lower. But there are people who need twelve hours. Others come with five hours. It's like the animal world: learn a giraffe sleeps only 20 minutes per day, a bat against 20 hours.

Should late rather just go to bed, early to hochzukommen easily?
The rest behavior depends on many factors: genetic predisposition, gender, age, season, personal situation. Sleep habits are changing, but not entirely compatible. Who his life late risers, is never a good breakfast - just the reverse.

Is this a dead sleep, unproductive phase?
Not at all. The brain is like a computer. It holds firmly experiences as a PC data on the hard disk. In the sleeping brain learned our stores, deletes superfluous knowledge while creating the necessary space for future new impressions to work with.
