La importancia del sueño para la salud y consejos sencillos para dormir mejor

Todas los animales duermen, los humanos en concreto, pasamos un tercio de nuestra vida durmiendo. De hecho, nuestra forma de dormir ha sido clave para evolucionar como especie.

Hasta hace pocos años, los científicos apenas habían realizado estudios sobre el sueño pero hoy sabemos que dormir tiene muchos beneficios para la mente y el cuerpo.

En una noche de sueño, pasamos por 4 etapas distintas de sueño, unas de sueño profundo y otras de sueño más ligero, pero todas igualmente importantes.

Los expertos recomiendan dormir cada noche entre 7 y 9 horas para aprovechar todos los beneficios de un sueño saludable.

INTRODUCTION

In this unit we’ll talk about the sustantivo (the noun). It’s also sometimes referred to as the nombre. We’ll dedicate a section to explaining in simple terms the gender and number of the noun and its accompanying article. The goal in this first unit is to give you a general view of the noun in Spanish.

Learning Spanish around the World

Spanish is such a diverse language and is spoken in so many countries that it’s possible to customize your study abroad experience depending on the kind of learning experience you’re interested in.

Studying Spanish in Spain, for example, will provide a very different experience than a language course in Mexico or Chile. Even within South America, each country boasts a distinctive linguistic flavor and offers unique cultural experiences.

At the same time, Spanish vocabulary is consistent enough throughout the world’s Hispanic countries to allow Spanish speakers to understand each other across geographical borders. For more info see:
