Why Track Wakefulness?
Tracking how long you've been awake helps ensure you're not staying up too long, which can lead to sleep deprivation.
Most adults need about 7-9 hours of sleep per night, which means you should be awake for no more than 15-17 hours.
By monitoring your wakefulness, you can establish better sleep habits and improve your overall sleep quality.
Wakefulness and Sleep Health
Extended wakefulness can have negative effects on your health, including:
- Decreased cognitive function and reaction time
- Impaired memory and decision-making
- Increased risk of accidents
- Weakened immune system
- Mood disturbances and irritability
Using this timer can help you maintain a healthy balance between wakefulness and sleep, ensuring you get the rest you need for optimal physical and mental performance.
