There are many who wonder what can happen to their body during sleep. For example, many people feel a jolt that throws them out of sleep or they dream that they fall and wake up somewhat abruptly.
And the truth is that along with the above, various other strange things happen during sleep. See below:
Jolt
This jolt or shaking has preoccupied many people as it happens often. This is a type of involuntary myoclonic spasm that has many names: sleep onset, sleep spasm, hypnotic spasm are some of them.
What actually happens is that the muscles contract quickly and relax again, in order to bring the body into the proper position to sleep.
Body temperature drops
When we are awake and active during the day, we burn more calories, so lowering the temperature while we sleep is one way to reduce the rate of burning and save calories.
You forget the useless information
Fortunately, during sleep, our brain deletes all the junk information of the day, says sleep expert Christopher Colwell. If you remember everything, it would fill your mind, so a process of sorting during sleep is essential.
You wake up about 5 - 15 times per hour
This usually happens when we have turned to different stages of sleep, such as from dreams to deep sleep and awakenings happen so often that you do not even remember them.
Collagen production increases
Here is something extremely positive! Collagen is a protein that strengthens blood vessels and gives the skin its elasticity. When we sleep, the production of this hormone increases. That is why it is very good at night to put creams with retinol and retinoids, which interact perfectly with collagen.
