Guy Meadows, a sleep physiologist at King’s College London, said you should “sleep” in short “intervals” at the weekend, rather than over long periods of time. This will prevent disruption of circadian rhythms. In this respect reports Daily Mail edition.
According to the expert, staying in bed for a long time on a day off can lead to disruption of circadian rhythms, making it difficult to get up in the morning on the first day of work. Circadian rhythms are cyclical fluctuations in the intensity of various biological processes associated with the change of day and night.
Meadows explained that you can start waking up up to thirty minutes later than usual on the weekends. In case of acute lack of sleep, the doctor recommended compensating for this deficiency not “at once”, but within a few hours, but with short rests. This approach will prevent fatigue and drowsiness.
The sleep physiologist noted that an important factor in healthy sleep is waking up with the first rays of the sun. According to Meadows, missing dawn by two (weekend) days can cause difficulties in returning to the usual routine.
