Samsung is launching the second year of the Sleep on it! In 12 video lessons, experts advise how best to adjust your behavior to achieve better quality sleep
The transition from summer time to winter time this Sunday, 10/27, will give us an extra hour in bed, but it may not be a win for our sleeping regime. Scientific studies repeatedly confirm that the change of time negatively affects our sleep, and thus our health and mood. What about that? And can modern technologies help us with healthy sleep? It provides answers to these and other questions free online course Sleep on it!which was prepared by Samsung in cooperation with experts from various fields. In addition, registered users who complete the course lessons will have the opportunity to win a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra or Galaxy Watch7 smart watch and will receive a discount voucher for the purchase of a smart watch at samsung.sk.
That the change of time can seriously affect the quality of sleep and the amount of energy is proven not only by the experience of many of us, but also by scientific studies more and more often. The transition to a new regime – although in the case of winter time change it means an hour longer sleep – is not indicative of our circadian rhythms (ie internal body clock) and can, in addition to sleep, have a negative effect on our immunity, concentration and mood.
In half a year, an even more demanding period awaits us. The time change to summer time is associated with an hourly reduction in sleep time, which can even increase the risk of cardiovascular events and depression in more sensitive and elderly individuals. In short, the alternation of time shows us what a huge impact sleep has on our body and psyche. Fortunately, there are effective and science-based ways to support your sleep – and these are the contents of the Sleep for It course!
Sleep (not only) to change the time
Course Sleep on it! is available for free on the web from October 25 Sleep on it! to all those who do not want to be thrown off by the time change and at the same time would like to adjust their sleeping habits, increase the amount of energy, and thus improve their daily functioning. Sufficient sleep is far from a given. Application data Samsung Health for example, they show that we are sleeping less and less – worldwide the average sleep duration is now 6 hours and 59 minutes – and the overall quality of sleep is also decreasing.
“Up to 80% of the population struggles with sleep to a greater or lesser extent. Every third person then sleeps less than 6 hours a day, which is a sign of sleep deprivation. Quality sleep has many aspects, it’s not just about its length,” he explains Petr Ludwiglecturer and content guarantor of the course, and adds: “Sleep on the course!” offers anyone interested in their mental and physical health scientifically proven and effective tips on how to sleep better at night – and therefore function better during the day.”
Everything you wanted to know about sleep
Course Sleep on it! consists of a total of 12 thematic video lessons. They focus on a wide range of areas related to sleep. They will talk in the videos, for example Petr Ludwig (about how sleep is related to energy and how many hours a person should sleep), Kristof Jarmar a Vojta Hlaváčik from Brain We Are (about what dietary supplements have a demonstrable effect on sleep), light expert Hynek Medřický (on the connection between sleep and light) or medical anthropologist Lenka Medvecová Tinková (about ways to promote sleep in young children).
“An interesting topic is the connection between sleep and technology. We often hear how electronic devices in the form of ubiquitous displays disrupt sleep. This is undoubtedly true, but modern technology can also help us lead a healthy lifestyle – as long as we use it properly. This is also addressed in one of the lessons of the course,” he says Marcus Deveauxproduct manager of the mobile division of Samsung Electronics Czech and Slovak.
