***"If sleep doesn't serve a vital function, it's the biggest mistake evolution ever made."*** - Dr. A. Rechtschaffen (pioneer in sleep study) Let's talk about sleep Being in a state of atonia (loss of muscle tone), defenseless and at the mercy of predators does not confer an evolutionary advantage unless it brings us benefits that outweigh the risks. That's why we've always been sure that sleep is essential for life. Sleep is the price we pay for the plasticity of our brain and our great capacity to learn, and each stage of our lives has specific requirements that allow us to develop fully. I am sharing an image with recommendations for sleep duration according to age. In future posts, I will be talking more about sleep, as well as strategies to improve it, the benefits of having adequate sleep, and the risks of not having it.
