    1) How much sleep do you actually need? How much sleep do you normally get each night?

    A/c to
    the video are you getting too little, too much, or not enough?

    A/c to the video we need 7-8 hours of sleep on average for our brain and body to function normally.

    I normally get 8-9 hours of sleep, but sometimes when I am stressed, I sleep more than 9 hours.

    2) Should you use the snooze button? What are the effects of using the snooze button on your
    body?

    Our body has a natural biological cycle and chemical system that not only helps us to sleep but
    allows us to awake as well. This natural biological cycle is disturbed by the alarms, which causes us
    to get into a state known as sleep inertia. The snooze button makes it worse, after hitting the snooze
    button when we fall back to sleep, we get into deep sleep, so instead of our body going towards the
    wake cycle, its going it opposite direction and each time we hit the snooze button we get into more
    deep sleep, resulting in more tiredness and less restoration; less productivity and day time
    impairment.

    3) How to get better sleep: of the many tips given in the video, which one is your favorite and why.
    How does this tip works?

    Set your schedule that is wake up in the morning and sleep at the right time at night so that body
    can adjust to it and maintain your schedule to keep your sleep cycles healthy. People who don’t
    follow schedule and sleep a lot or at odd times tend to stay awake at night and then when morning
    arises, the sleep hits them hard, this really disturbs your routine.

    4) What are the 9 tips for a better sleep and why does the video say they work

    The nine tips for better sleep are the following:

    1) Your bed should only be used for sleep don’t use your mobiles or laptops in your bed. The
    reason for this is the light from your device screen tricks your brain and your brain thinks its still
    day time allowing itself and the rest of your body to be awake and active. So, keep aside all your
    devices before you go to bed.
    2) Keep your room dim and quiet and your bed as comfortable as possible.
    3) Maintaining a set sleep and wake schedule will help prime your brain to get into a good routine.
    4) Read a boring book if you are unable to fall asleep
    5) Chamomile tea helps promote sleep. It contains a chemical known as apigenin which binds to
    the same receptor in brain as other sedatives.
    6) Add lavender oil in your bath before bed. Lavender oil help relax your muscles and relieves any
    stress and helps you with good sleep.
    7) Avoid confrontation and Exercise in last 4-6 hours before bed. These two things release
    hormones that activate your body.
    8) Calming down through meditation. This relaxes your mind and body to an extend that it sedates
    you and helps you fall asleep
    9) Do not open any lights in the middle of the night, this will disturb your sleep cycle.

    5) Lucid Dreaming: What are the MILD and WILD techniques, what is involved in these techniques
    and what is the potential side effect of using WILD technique.

    MILD stands for Mnemonically Induced Lucid Dreaming. It involves repeating yourself a dream or a
    mantra like “I’ll have a lucid dream.” Or something like that. As you began to fall think of a previous
    dream and imagine yourself becoming lucid. The intension is to realize that you are dreaming in your
    dream. This is where you will be able to create your dream.

    WILD stands for Wake Induced Lucid Dream. It happens when your mind is awake while your body goes
    to sleep. The idea is to completely relax your body without moving it at all, this will trick the brain as if
    you are asleep, but your mind should still be awake, breathe normally. When your body is completely
    relaxed you will enter a “hypnagogic state” where you visualize random abstract images, from this point
    you can start thinking about what your dream you want to have. The side effect of WILD technique is
    you experience sleep paralysis during which you might see nightmares.
