There are many familiar things in the world that we do not even pay attention to. Life is diverse and multifaceted. But for its vanity, we “run” past the objects and concepts that make up its foundation.
Earth's revolution around the sun
For example, do you know how many hours a year, minutes, seconds? Incidentally, only a pontiff could unequivocally answer this question in Ancient Rome, whose powers included even the establishment of a time frame. That is, the Great Pontiff arbitrarily could change the time frame. Only Caesar Guy Julius established the calendar customary in our understanding, and then every citizen could already know the number of hours in a year as an ordinary and reliable fact.
And what do scientists tell us? The earth around the sun makes a revolution for 365 days. But this is not an exact figure, but rounded. In fact, the turnover occurs in 365.2564 days. The remainder after the decimal point is collected, and when it is 24 hours, as it should be for days, they put another additional day on the calendar. This addition occurs every 4 years, which explains the presence of a leap year.
Do you know how many hours of the year you sleep? The question, by the way, is not an idle one, but a very important one. Surely many people have heard that geniuses sleep much less than ordinary people. It really is. It’s not at all that they get tired less. There are enough people in the world who feel comfortable with a duration of sleep of only three to four hours.
And how many hours do celebrities sleep in a year?
For example, the famous multimillionaire D. Trump gives 4 hours a day to sleep. And Napoleon Bonaparte slept only four hours a day. Newton slept about the same amount of time, who preferred to "save" in his sleep, believing that it was a waste of time. Leonardo da Vinci rested even less, about a couple of hours. This did not stop many of the celebrities from living a long and fulfilling life.
Ten years ago, American scientists conducted an experiment in which people from thirty to one hundred years old took part. There were more than 1 million volunteers. According to this experiment, those who slept for 8 hours or more, or people who slept 4 hours or less, died more often than those whose sleep averaged 6 or 7 hours / day.
The effectiveness of "night" rest
It turns out that how many hours we sleep in a year does not depend on the genius or “stupidity” of a person. The thing is how we sleep, that is, as our night's rest. The productivity of human sleep depends on 2 important nuances:
- whether the person had a good rest during sleep;
- How many questions a person "decided" while resting.
In other words, the amount of time we devote to sleep is an indicator of a person’s interest in real life. Accordingly, the more he sleeps, the less interesting he is to live.
There are many more interesting questions. For example, how many hours a year we eat, work, watch TV, talk with children, walk, listen to music, suffer, admire, and be sad. All these questions concern our life, so it’s worth finding out the answers to them, because it is very interesting. Is not it?
