Necesitamos descansar

0:00 Bombax, why the affective relationships I have are not stable. I like assertiveness because it invites us to prudence that what should motivate our word is always love. This and that is already the basis for going out to conquer many goals, to fight, to give a better version and enjoy life fully. You know we need to learn to rest, to sleep well, because these two experiences are fundamental to maintaining good physical and mental health. We need to disassemble that story that being productive means getting little sleep or always working. That' s not true. All human beings need to sleep, rest and be able to live a restorative process that is fundamental to our body and mind. Well, we know from what we have studied that when the human being sleeps, the body is repaired at the cellular level, the brain processes information and you

1:37 know that memories are consolidated and the immune system is also regulated. Therefore, it is necessary to sleep and sleep long enough, because I also find stories, sometimes legendary, sometimes fruitless, of people who have physical and mental illnesses who have to sleep little. I remember someone who' s a great businessman who used to call me alberto with three hours of sleep. I have allowed myself to doubt that. I think the amount of sleep needed is between seven and nine hours and hopefully at night. I know it varies according to age?

2:30 I know it varies according to individual characteristics, but in general, medicine tells us that it takes between seven and nine hours of sleep to be able to repair what we have spent the energies we have invested hear. Now you need quantity and quality. In bed. It cannot be an interrupted dream, a low quality dream, because this generates negative effects. It is quite possible that, although we sleep nine hours, if we sleep them with a low quality, surely we will get tired tired as if we hadn' t slept the truth. I really like the metaphor Dr Carlos Jaramillo uses in his antistress book. He' s a functional doctor I like to read and listen to.

3:45 It sets a simple but powerful example. He says that if we have a cell phone, then at some point we have to put to charge the battery of that cell phone, because if it is not going to be able to provide us with the service we expect, the charge will run out, because nothing. So it happens with us, so it happens with our body and with our mind. We have to create a space for it to recharge, for it to repair, for it to rest and be back in its proper functions. When we wonder what the benefits of sleeping are, well, we find at least four. There' s an improvement in the immune system.

4:41 Yes, a proper dream strengthens our defense system and that makes us somehow attentive to possible diseases, which has a preventive function. The second benefit is that good sleep reduces the risk of mental disorders such as depression, such as anxiety, such as stress. The third benefit is posed by cognitive function. The dream. It improves concentration, improves memory, improves performance, because we can rest and when we rest we can recover our functions. And, of course, the fourth benefit I find in what I have been reading and emphasizing is physical health, because a good rest is always related to a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity. So it' s important for us to be clear that we need to sleep well to rest Hey, because if it doesn' t work, it doesn' t, it doesn' t end up doing us much harm, it ends up causing us pain. We must always think of the Circadian circle. Each one has to know what is

6:14 that natural cycle of physical, mental, and behavioral changes that we experience throughout the twenty- four hours. Then we need to know at what point we are most productive and at what times we should be in function of rest. I particularly can' t work at night the times I' ve had to get up early because I' m writing a text. I feel I don ' t produce enough, because it' s more important for me to work during the day, especially at dawn and then I discover that and depending on that I work. We are not machines, we are not equals and each one has to find his circle circadian and from there work the same thing that we have to investigate that today they call the hygiene of sleep to generate the conditions that allow us. I am talking about external conditions, even physical conditions, which allow us to rest what is necessary, to rest enough. Some advice they give is to have a routine, go to sleep and get up at the same time every day so that in some way a dynamic is generated in our biological clock, and that allows us to give us a greater rest.

7:43 Others talk about having a quiet, cool dark environment that can facilitate that restful sleep. Many times we are invited to avoid the white light, to avoid the light of the screens at least one or two hours before we go to sleep. Also avoid stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol consumption, especially before we go to bed, because that can end up damaging our sleep, relaxing, meditating. In my case I do moments of prayer. The prayer of the night. For me it is fundamental, that it is always thankful, that it is always to put myself in the hands of God, to calm myself and to enter into an attitude of rest. They say that eating or doing physical activities at least two hours before sleep will not allow us to rest properly. We need to learn, sleep and sleep well. I believe that spirituality allows us to know that leisure is not a sin, that, on the contrary, the bear is an opportunity, that possibility to contemplate, to connect with the present, to be consciously here and now it is a spiritual

9:13 blessing that we cannot ignore, that we cannot take away from our sight today from my spiritual experience, I would like to invite you to take care of your dream and to allow you to rest properly. That is caring and caring is our first spiritual responsibility. Cheer up, you know.
