EXPERT WARNS: THERE ARE 87 SEPARATE DISEASES THAT DISRUPT THE STRUCTURE OF SLEEP! IF IT IS NOT DETECTED
Stating that there are 87 separate diseases that disrupt the structure of sleep, Prof. Dr. “If these are not detected, no matter how much you sleep, they cause serious problems because the quality of sleep is impaired. Therefore, for us, in fact, the most important thing is whether sleep comes during the day. This condition is an important marker for sleep disorders. At the same time, whether you get enough sleep when you get up in the morning and whether there is snoring at the same time are also important parameters,” he said.
Prof. Dr. made statements about the importance of sleep, which is essential for the continuity of life. Prof. Dr. noted that sleep is indispensable for all living things, saying: “The need and form of sleep stages partially change depending on the age of a person. Sleep allows the information we have cached to be dumped into long memory. It helps to process information. At the same time, it establishes a link between brain cells, forming the main basic building blocks that allow us to use the brain, which we call mind. It also ensures their concentration and reflex coordination. With it, it regulates the rhythm of the heart, the way it works, and the cardiovascular system. It promotes growth by regulating hormones. In particular, growth hormone is secreted only at night. For this reason, mothers say to their children that they should sleep or grow up, and they do not say that they should eat or grow up. A person gains weight when he eats, but he grows up when he sleeps,” he said.

IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FOR SKIN HEALTH
In adults, on the other hand, growth hormone has a very serious function, despite the fact that growth has stopped, Prof. Dr. continued: “Growth hormone in adults prevents the delay of aging, protects the integrity of the skin, ensures the beauty of the skin, protects and maintains all organs. At the same time, sleep is also the way to secrete the hormones necessary to prevent the occurrence of diabetes, the emergence of conditions related to excessive weight gain, which we call metabolic syndrome. In short, sleep is one of the most important parameters that are essential for being able to exist and live during the day”.

HORMONAL BALANCE CAN CHANGE SLEEP PHASES
Prof. Dr. stated that sleep is needed intensively at almost any age and gave the following information: “In childhood, the need for sleep in early childhood is at the maximum level. Almost newborns sleep around 20 hours. They only spend about 1-2 hours on feeding. This need gradually decreases with age. by the age of 12-13, a sleep of about 8-9 hours is needed. And during puberty, a change in the phase of sleep occurs. Normally, is a period of sleep between 22.00 in the evening and 08.00 in the morning, while in adolescence, a shift in the sleep phase may occur due to the activation of hormones. For example, adolescents can stay up a little later for this. This is a condition that occurs due to the influence of hormonal balance on the timing of sleep. When we look at the adult period, there is also an average need for 7-8 hours of sleep. The same applies to those who are over 65 years old, that is, the period that we call old age”.

THERE ARE 87 DIFFERENT SLEEPING DISORDERS
As age progresses, there is a change in the stages of sleep, indicating that Prof. Dr. said, “As we get older, sleep is divided more often in relation to health conditions or due to frequent urination. Beyond these, a decrease in deep sleep and REM sleep occurs. But it was found that the life expectancy is much longer in the elderly without REM and a decrease in deep sleep, heart and vascular diseases are less common, and they also look much younger than their peers. As a result, the amount, duration and time of sleep varies depending on age and transfer diseases, but all people need a regular, adequate and healthy sleep. Perhaps the most important thing here is the presence of 87 separate diseases that cause a disorder in the structure of sleep. If these cannot be detected, no matter how much you sleep, they will cause serious symptoms and problems because the quality of sleep is impaired,” he said.
