For friends who are slow to go to work, they seldom drink water, and only drink water when they are thirsty. If the body is short of water, it will also affect intestinal peristalsis and defecation.

Staying up late can also lead to a decline in metabolism, weakened visceral function, which is not conducive to health or defecation.
