Health: the secrets for optimal sleep

With small gestures, we can sleep better. On the set of 13 Hours, Friday February 10, the doctor Damian Mascret shares her tips for better sleep. The first secret: regulate the temperature of his room. “Half of the French people sleep with a temperature of more than 21°C in their room. In reality for GOOD sleep on body needs to lower its temperature. […] It is ideally necessary 18.3°C for an adult and 20.5°C for a child”he explained.

Choosing the right duvet

The second advice from the healthcare professional is to choose the right duvet. The doctor theorized: “Having weight on yourself […] stimulates the tactile pressure receptors in our skin, and that’s reassuring. So we sleep better.” Also, he recommends stopping the screens “aat least one hour before the scheduled time of sleep” to avoid blocking the “melanin secretion”. Finally, the doctor Mascret reminded that an adult should sleep between 7 and 9 hours.
