Basic Care Acetaminophen PM, Pain Reliever Plus Nighttime Sleep Aid, 100 Count: Health & Personal Care

Description

Sleep is not just a block of time when you are not awake. Thanks to sleep studies done over the past several decades, it is now known that sleep has distinctive stages that cycle throughout the night. Your brain stays active throughout sleep, but different things happen during each stage. For example, certain stages are needed to help you feel rested and energetic the next day, and other stages help you learn and make memories. A number of vital tasks carried out during sleep help maintain good health and enable people to function at their best. On the other hand, not getting enough sleep can be dangerous for both your mental and physical health.* Sleep needs vary from person to person, and they change throughout the lifecycle. Most adults, including older adults, need 7–8 hours of sleep each night. Children have different sleep needs, depending on how old they are.* *U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Not only does the quantity of your sleep matter, but also the quality is important as well. How well rested you are and how well you function the next day depend on your total sleep time and how much of the various stages of sleep you get each night.
