The Importance of Sleep Cycles

Spartan apps news
March 15, 2023

Are you one of those who hates sleeping? If you are you might not like the info that we spend at least a third of our lives sleeping. This might sound a lot, but it isn’t actually.
Adequate sleep is essential for starting a new day with vigor and vitality. After all, we want to be productive, rested and focused throughout the day. But the number of hours
we sleep is not the only determining factor – the quality of the sleep we get is important, too. Particularly during the dark, long winter months, it is crucial to pay more
attention to quality than quantity to maintain your daily rhythm despite the darkness. 

Sleep cycles are the first thing you should focus on if attempting to improve the quality of your sleep. How much do you move during the night? How often do you wake up?
If you use a fitness and activity tracker, you can track your sleep directly. Just keep your wearable on during the night and activate the sleep mode as soon as you are lying in bed.

How many steps should you take every day? 10.000. that’s the number we should aspire to reach, but even if we are as motivated as it can get, sometimes our schedules just
don’t allow us to do so. And the season of the year also has an influence on our need for exercise: Long winter nights mean short days. On these days, we often don’t feel the need to
move much or at all after sundown, which in turn can make it even more difficult to achieve our daily step goal.
