Researchers found that lack of sleep may be one of the reasons for the increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes in recent years. Research on middle-aged people also found that lack of sleep can also cause endocrine disorders.
If a person doesn't sleep for three days and nights, he will have hallucinations, thinking judgment and memory will be obviously reduced, and even palpitations and high blood pressure will appear. Therefore, it is very important to arrange sleep scientifically.
Health experts believe that adequate sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise are three important pillars of a healthy life. If you want to be healthy, you must re-evaluate the significance of sleep to health and attach importance to sleep management. In the concept of health, people often only pay attention to diet and exercise, but ignore the important factor of sleep.
In today's society, the competition is fierce, the pace of life of most people is accelerated, and the law of life is disrupted, which is also one of the factors that cause cancer. Therefore, we should not indulge in nightlife too much. Efforts to change bad living habits, keep enough sleep and actively treat insomnia can prevent cancer before it happens.
Lack of sleep is harmful to health
The impact of lack of sleep on work and life is obvious. According to the investigation of relevant departments, 29% of traffic accidents are related to drivers' fatigue driving. A survey of thousands of high school students in the United States shows that many people lack enough sleep, which increases with age, which affects their study during the day. This problem is also common among senior high school students in China.
With the increasing pressure of modern competition, many people often stay up late to work in order to improve their work efficiency. In fact, dizziness and lethargy often occur after staying up late. If you stay at your desk for a long time and continue to study hard, you can only say that you are pretending and wasting your time.
However, people do not regard lack of sleep and rest as a danger, and ignore rest in social competition. The potential danger of fatigue is underestimated because fatigue, like alcohol, is generally not the direct cause of the incident, it only reduces the ability to act and leads to an increase in the risk of injury. In the process of fatigue, alertness is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Recently, researchers have compared the lack of sleep with the toxicity of alcohol, and found that after17 ~19 hours without sleep, people's behavior is equivalent to or even worse than that when the blood alcohol concentration is 0.05%, so traffic rules in many countries clearly prohibit fatigue driving. This principle also applies to medical work that requires high concentration. Doctors in Germany usually take a break after working for two hours before continuing their work. The purpose is to maintain their exuberant energy and prevent medical errors in the state of brain fatigue.
Therefore, from the perspective of personal safety and health, we should change the concept that lack of sleep and rest is an honor. Only by ensuring adequate sleep can we ensure the high efficiency of study and work and have a happy and healthy life.
Too much sleep is not good for health.
Perhaps each of us has this experience: when we want to make up our sleep at home during the holiday, the longer we sleep, the more tired we feel, which is also a puzzle for many people. Kong Old Master Q has long said that "going too far is not enough". Too much sleep, like lack of sleep, is harmful to human body. Because too much sleep will make the nerve center in a state of inhibition for a long time, you will feel groggy and listless after getting up.
According to the survey, the death rate of adults who sleep for more than 10 hours a night is 80% higher than those who sleep only 7-8 hours a night. They also found that people who sleep 10 hours a day are twice as likely to die from heart disease and 3.5 times more likely to die from stroke than those who sleep only 7 hours. This is because the blood flow is slow during sleep, which increases the risk of heart disease and cerebrovascular embolism.
Long-term sleep will also reduce the oxygen entering the human body due to the slow breathing, which means that the burden on the heart, blood circulation and lungs will increase. The reduction of oxygen content has no harm to healthy people, but it is unfavorable and even dangerous to patients with heart disease and lung disease.
Some psychologists also explain that sleeping too much is just like eating too much, which is harmful to health. In medical practice, doctors have implemented sleep control therapy for patients with migraine, sleeping only for 7 and a half hours every day, which has received certain effects.
Therefore, to ensure adequate sleep time, it is not necessary for people to extend their sleep time a lot. Adequate sleep is not entirely in quantity, but more importantly in the quality of sleep.
