Sleep quality

Sleep quality is the degree to which sleep is sufficient, regular, and restorative for the body and cognitive functioning.

Definition

It's not just about the number of hours. Sleep quality includes the ease of falling asleep, sleep continuity, feeling rested, circadian rhythm and the impact of sleep on concentration, emotions and health. Adults usually need about 7-9 hours of sleep, but regularity and lack of chronic waking are also important.

Practice and life

For a week, record your sleep time, wake-up times, morning quality on a scale of 1-10, and one factor that could have improved or worsened your sleep.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to judge sleep only by time in bed. A common mistake is to ignore chronic sleep problems and mask them with caffeine.
