Little Sleep It Better

Sleeping for eight hours every day or almost every day, has long been considered as an ideal sleep time span as the time required by the human body. But new research says, if sleeping during that time if done every day, even more can shorten the life.

A study conducted on more than one million people who slept eight hours or more a day indicating they died at a younger age than their counterparts who sleep fewer hours.

As sleep four hours a day or almost every day, are also likely to die faster. But those who slept six hours a day, according to research may live longer. Scientists at the University of California, said the study shows the relationship between durations of sleep and high mortality rate. However, the research team has not managed to get the answers behind this relationship.

Professor Jim Horne of the Sleep Research Center at the University of Loughborough said that those who sleep longer believes, it is not true. We can confirm that sleep six or seven hours a day is long enough. The distance of time or hours of sleep needed by the body is if you're in the awake condition and felt like sleeping in the daytime.
Again, we say Subhanallah, the Qur'an was revealed in the middle period, where a lot Utopia that says that sleeping in a long time that's the best. Until the coming of the 21st century of research which confirms that short sleep time is better for humans. Is not this as it has been affirmed in the Qur'an in many verses the time to explain about one of the habits of the righteous:
"In their world very little sleep at night. And always pray for forgiveness in the morning before dawn." (Surah Adz Dzariyat: 17-18)
As it is also God commanded the Prophet Muhammad subhanahu wata'ala sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam to not much sleep, and replace what has been reduced from time to sleep at night, at lunch time. Subhanahu wata'ala God says:
"O thou wrapped up (Muhammad), get up (for prayer) at night, except a few (thereof), (ie) seperduanya or subtract from it half or less than half that. And read the Qur'an it slowly. For we are going down to the weight of words. Lo wake at night is more appropriate (for Khushuu ') and soften it more impressive reading. Verily ye in the day has a long affair (much). " (QS.Al Muzzammil: 1-7).
Commands described in this paragraph for not much sleep at night, and stop it soften in the afternoon. It also confirms what researchers have found the time now.

Numerous studies generally state that the heart attack came after early morning until sunrise. We came to know why the noble prophet had passed the time of the morning until sunrise, with dhikr, exalt, and Quran recitations.

There are other studies that explain again that wake up in the middle of the night was beneficial to health, especially for the heart. Long sleep would be damaging and dangerous to the heart. Lack of oxygen due to heart sometimes sleep too long, and because the scientists say: "Wake up at night, even just one time, it was beneficial for the heart to supply adequate oxygen and to avoid sudden death.

Subhanallah, This is also confirmed by the Quran and the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, when he woke up at night to tafakkur subhanahu wata'ala against God's creation, and night prayers.
Sleeping at noon, just as important as Nighttime Sleep The researchers said naps short day - which is called in Islam with qailullah term - that is very useful, just like sleeping at night. They say that from the perspective of attitude and behavioral improvement, a nap is useful, just as sleep the night, someone associated with cognitive function.

 
A team of researchers from the University of Lubeck, Germany, performing diagnostic tests on 52 volunteers. The volunteers were asked to sleep in a certain timeframe, regardless of time of day or night. And the result, their conditions are not the same and different.
Here we are reminded again remember with what is presented by Al Karim Quranul, to sleep at night and day. Even a short nap was not as important as sleep tonight.

"And among His Signs to sleep at night and day." This is a sign of the Holy Qur'an as a book of magic which is derived from God, the Omniscient. Because of this new information for scientists, even they do not know the importance of napping except in the twenty-first century. While the Qur'an has emphasized the importance of sleep the night and day, as a miracle and a sign of God's power, since fourteen centuries ago! Subhanallah. Is it after all these facts are still there who say that the Qur'an is written by humans?
Brain Memory Weak When Someone had just woken up Harvard University scientists doing research related to the relationship between memory recall and sleep. They use the tools of functional MRI magnetic resonance scan, until they discovered the existence of brain activity in specific regions. Then the activity moves into the second area and so it went that the brain perform the arrangement of information, coordination, and store information so easily taken back after someone woke up from sleep.
However, subsequent studies showed that the focus person's brain there is a minimum at this stage when he had just woken up. It takes between 15-30 minutes to be able to restore the ability of the mind. Therefore, researchers suggest that someone immediately after waking up do some light exercises to restore brain activity.
Here, we can also understand why the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam much remembrance of Allah immediately after waking from sleep. He then made ablution, prayed, and then prayed. So he uses the time after sleep to pray and dhikr, before doing other activities or decisions. If we examine the views of scientists today, they argued that human memory is at the lowest position after just waking from sleep.
The researchers cautioned that doctors night guard, as well as firefighters and night workers whose work requires important decisions after a build. They are advised not to take any decision or take no action until after a quarter hour after waking.
This is the reason God subhanahu wata'ala said: "God holds the soul (someone) at the time of his death and the soul (someone) who had not died when he was sleeping, He hold souls (people) that He has set his death and had him remove the soul of the other until the time specified. Indeed, in these things there are signs of God for those who reflect. "(Surah Az-Zumar: 42).
This verse describes the importance of sleep and the relationship between sleep with death. Therefore, we, with the dhikr of Allah subhanahu wata'ala before sleeping and after waking from sleep. Reflecting on what the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam.
What lessons learned from this study? 1. Do not get too much sleep, and wake up when the dawn prayer. This will add strength and improve heart health and increase excitement for the activity. Replace some of our lack of sleep at night to soften the afternoon nap. 2. Take advantage of our sleep time by listening to Quran recitations murottal. The brain will be working to save the verses being read it when we sleep. This is one way to help us memorize Kitabullah. I applied this way and I have been able to memorize the Koran without any difficulty. Alhamudlillah. 3. The first thing that must be done immediately after you wake up is pray as taught Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, "Praise be to Allah who have turned on us after we turned off, and in whom we collected." Then berwudhulah, pray and read Al Qur'anul karim for about 15 minutes minimum. Activities such as these will increase our ability to correct refractive important decisions in life.
Finally, I ask God to strengthen us subhanahu wata'ala upon this truth. Make all these miracles as a tool that would convince anyone who doubts the heart of the nature of Islam. So they know the glory of this religion. So they will know the love that had brought the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam. I close this article, the word of God subhanahu wata'ala.
"And among the signs (greatness) is his sleep by night and by day and your efforts to find a portion of His bounty. Indeed, in these things really are Signs for those who listen "(QR-Arrum: 23)
