What Some Good Sleep Will Do For New Mom

Having a new born baby can be stressful. And the most common

cringe about it all is that you will barely catch some good shut eye. If

it is about changing diapers and all, you could get your partner to do

it, take turns. But the first few months will have you, the mom, up

after every two or three hours, because you will need to breast feed

your little tot. For any human though, sleep is important. It is

among one of the top ways to get your body performing at its peak,

and have you productive and energetic during the day. So what are

some of these benefits, and why is it so important that you actually

lie down and get hours of proper sleep?

1. You are way more alert and make better judgment

Reducing your sleep time by one or two hours, according to

research, could decrease your levels of alertness by 32%. So imagine

not sleeping at all. You will literally be in zombie-mode all through

the next day, and a continuation of this pattern will just carry

forward this drag and increase the problem, making your days pure

agony. You will also not be able to make proper judgments on a lot

of things, since your brain is performing on less than half of its usual

capacity.
2. Good sleep helps you avoid injury and accidents

You know how traffic authorities insist that if you are feeling even

the tiniest wink of sleep, you absolutely should not be behind the

wheel? Well, this is because it is a safety hazard. You risk dozing off

while driving, and quite possibly getting into an accident that will

not only hurt you, but other road users too. Make sure you catch a

good night’s sleep to avoid accident, injury, or even worse.

3. It helps you express more milk

Lack of sleep will then lead to higher stress levels, and in turn, lower

milk amounts. You want your baby to be well fed, and if not, it will

not only leave them hungry, but you will feel inadequate as a

mother too, which only worsens the situation. Get enough sleep to

ensure you pump out enough milk for your little one.

4. You are way less irritable

You know how ordinarily, when you do not get enough sleep, you

will automatically be grumpy and most likely snap at anyone around

you? This applies for new mums too. And not only did she not sleep,

but she spent her night moving up and down, feeding her baby,

changing them, and listening to constant cries.

5. Aids in building better relationships with those around you

Better sleep = better relations. You wake up feeling fresh, and ready

to take on the day, meet people and make memories. Women

take it more to heart when relationships or friendships do not work

out, and lack of sleep will most likely lead to this, since she might be

snappy and not in the mood for anything, which inevitably will push

people away. Partners should also ensure their spouses are getting

enough sleep for their relationship to keep blossoming.

6. Reduces risk of getting postnatal depression

Postnatal depression is something that quite a number of new

mothers suffer from. Lack of sleep further aggravates this, since she

will perform at a lower capacity and this will have her feeling

helpless. The power of sleep is immeasurable, both for the

mind and body.

7. Your metabolism will function better

Lack of sleep can lead to obesity, since your metabolism is affected,

making you constantly hungry. And high chances are the cravings

will be for fatty and high carb and sugar foods. She also will not

have any energy for any form of exercise, which increases the risk of

her becoming obese.

8. Sleep greatly reduces any health risks

Lack of sleep can lead to so many health problems, like high blood

pressure, stroke, heart attack and inflammatory diseases.

Remember, your body repairs itself when you are asleep, so lack of

it- and in healthy quantities- will leave your immune system weak

and defenseless, thus susceptible to disease. You risk serious health

issues, and harmful effects on your normal body functions.

9. Your memory is much better, and your mind sharper

Ever heard of the term ummy brain’? Well, this is quite common in

mothers (and when you do your research, it is mostly moms who do

not get enough sleep). This is when simple things, like words,

escape their minds. It can be extremely frustrating for them, and

this might lead to irritability, especially around people who make

fun of it.

10. You are able to give more of yourself in whatever you do

Women are natural givers. A woman would rather give you all she

has, and figure herself out later. This is why they are such great

mothers, since they are able to naturally know, and provide to their

children’s needs, and wants too. It is an instinct. Now, lack of proper

sleep, and on a good quality mattress too, will have them running
out of their abundant well of provision. She will not be able to give

her all if she is not at her full capacity, which can be

disadvantageous not only to her, but her baby too. You know, an

empty cup cannot serve, and an empty bank account cannot

deposit to another. They will need to be filled up; she will need to

sleep.

Now, when it comes to good sleep, a good mattress is important. It

ensures you have no discomfort during the night and sleep soundly.
