2. What is a biorhythm?
Biorhythm is a regular alternation of physical and
mental states of organism.
Just like the day and night according to rotating Earth
around its axis change or seasons of the year change
you can also describe series of cyclically repeating
states not only in universe but also in human life.
For example breathing, heart beating or period.
Since birth your biorhythms are affecting individual
cells in your body and also your brain activity.
More or less they are affecting your existence for your
whole life.
5. Good sleep
Sleep is basic physiologic need necessary for right
function of organism.
Its importance is mostly in regeneration of central
nerve system.
Without sleep or in lack of its quality you cannot
recover completely which is showing in worse
thinking, lack of attention and feel of fatigue the very
next day.
If this status takes longer time your life quality changes
and there is a risk of development of serious mental
illness.
6. Why do we have to sleep?
Restoration of intellectual functions.
Creation of short-term and long-term memory -> in
lack of sleep your learning is getting worse.
Secretion of hormones - growth hormone.
Impact on immunity
short-term lack of sleep – good impact
long-term lack of sleep – very bad impact.
7. How many hours we should sleep
daily.
From 7 to 8,5 hours a day = average
8. When you should go to bed.
It is similarly with the bedtime.
Some people like going to bed later and wake up in late
morning.
Others like going to bed early and wake up early in the
morning.
Based on this we have 2 categories of people.
The first one are larks which have biggest activity
during morning and owls which are more active
during afternoon or evening.
9. Larks versus Owls
OWLS
are having problems with transition on summer time
they are used to do their best in afternoon or evening
used to go to bed late and sleep to late morning
suffer when waking up before sun rise
LARKS
are going to bed as we are saying „with chickens“ because
they are tired very soon
they get up with sunrise
do their best in the morning
their biorhythm is close to nature
less adaptable and very sensitive to changes
12. Aromatherapy
Relaxation with help of another sense organ-smell.
Help calms and relax.
Aromatherapy massages have long term effects.
Can be used as :
as essentials facing
inhalation

13. Vitamins and minerals

of insomnia
C – for creation of anti-stress hormones ,if the stress is cause
of insomnia you can take pills of vitamin C everyday
E – antispasmodic effects ,prevent of cancer and other
civilization illness, good effect on nerve system and blood

insomnia
Magnesium and Calcium– for nerve system ,insomnia ,pains

Folic acid – „lucky hormone“,makes you feel happy and
calm,helps to fall asleep
14. Healthy diet
What we eat and also how we eat have effect on our
feelings, thinking and sleeping.
Dairy products are helping the body to create
melatonin- makes higher sleep quality.
Food supplements – increase alertness.
For falling asleep is also not good to eat spicy or heavy
food ,alcohol and things with caffeine right before you
go to bed.
15. Résumé
Don’t eat heavy and spicy food before you go to bed, best
is to eat your dinner around 6 PM.
Also try drink cup of lukewarm milk before going to bed.
Don’t use artificial sweeteners just natural ones like
honey.
When you will eat light carbohydrates you will be more
sleepy.
At least 6 hours before going to bed you should not drink
alcohol or drinks or food that contains caffeine or other
stimulants.
Try eating healthy and do not overeat.
