Sleep flows in five-like stage, often back and forth, throughout the night.
**broken link removed**
These four stages of sleep consist of a sleep cycle. The first three stage is referred to as NREM sleep (non-REM or non-rapid eye movement). The fourth is called REM (rapid eye movement).

If the REM and NREM cycle are interrupted multiple times through the night, then we miss out on vital body processes, which can affect our health and well-being the next day and long term.
So how many hours you usually sleep every day?
It is reported from Daily Mail that a 46-year-old lady Sarah Chalmers who participate in an experiment in London, England, sleep 6 hours and 8 hours consecutively for five days separately. Professors are shocked by its big difference.
She looks sharp when sleeping 8 hours

5 days later, she looks horrible with 6 hours sleep

This is caused by one of the bad effect that inadequate sleep ages you. When we are tired we tend to run cortisol, the stress hormone. High levels of cortisol have been shown to break down the collagen protein. There are also other negative effects inadequate sleep brings about.

So, how many hours a person needThe answer is: For most adults, 7-9 hours per night is the ideal amount. Under six hours a night is linked to significant health issues like mentioned above. However, genetics is another determinant of how many hours of sleep you need per night. Pay attention to how you feel during the day to determine if you are getting the right amount.
We talked about the negative effect of sleep-deprived, we also need to know the benefit it will bring when you sleep enough. Here is positive benefit of 7-9 hour sleep a night.

So, how does the body heal itself through each stage when it comes to athletes:
Stage 1
Tightly packed brain wave patterns associated with muscle memory and logging movements learned during the day.
Stage 2
Your body is preparing for deep stage, it relaxes and starts to produce HGH-the Human Growth hormone. HGH increases the growth of muscle tissue and regulated the bodys metabolism.
Stage 3
HGH floods the body during deep sleep, helping the recovery process and re-energizing muscles. HGH combines with the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system to support your immune system function and metabolism throughout the day. The hormones prolactin is released during deep sleep and has anti-inflammatory properties which are thought to be important for recovery of joints.
Stage 4 REM
During sleep, extra oxygen is supplied to the muscles and this assist in the breakdown of lactic acid. When you arent getting enough sleep, lactic acid builds up in the muscles causing knotted trigger points to form. During sleep, your body also heals any minor tears which occur in the muscles during the day. Without adequate sleep, you get behind in your healing, and problems build up.
Bodybuilders are quite the same with athletes, they also need enough sleep to give their body a break. So, how many hours do you guys sleep per night, and do you feel good the next day?
