I stayed up late last night, but the doctor said it was okay?

Sleeping is a simple thing. For young people, getting enough sleep is a luxury. How many people "stay up the latest and apply the most expensive facial cream"?

With the development of modern life, people nowadays cannot leave their mobile phones. They habitually play with their mobile phones before going to bed. When they come back to their senses and glance at the time, they find that it is almost 12 o'clock. Staying up late has become a normal part of life.

Research shows that it is best for people to fall asleep before 11pm. Falling asleep after the best sleeping time does not mean staying up late. In fact, falling asleep after 11pm is just sleeping late, not staying up late. Sleeping late is not the same as staying up late.

As we all know, there are differences between individuals, and there is no specific time for everyone to go to bed. Some people always go to bed late, usually after 11 o'clock, while some people are used to going to bed early, at 8 or 9 o'clock.

The real staying up late is not just falling asleep too late, but it is cyclical, and the sleep is irregular within a certain cycle. No matter when you fall asleep, as long as you maintain a fixed sleep cycle and a relatively stable sleep duration, it is not considered staying up late, otherwise it is considered staying up late. For example, if you always fall asleep at 10 o'clock, but suddenly fall asleep at 12 o'clock, this is considered staying up late.

The organs in our body all need rest. Only sufficient rest can ensure their normal functioning. Going to bed late and staying up late are both harmful to the human body.

What kind of harm will come from staying up late and staying up late for a long time?

Staying up late and staying up late for a long time will not only destroy the body's normal metabolic function, causing health risks such as dark circles, migraines, haggardness, and listlessness, but will also make people gradually develop "night owl" disease, yawning all day long, which will affect their normal study and work.

① Obesity:

People who stay up late and go to bed late for a long time will reduce their body's metabolism, and those who stay up late often eat "midnight snacks", which is not only easy to cause abdominal distension, indigestion, peptic ulcer and other diseases, but also will have loss of appetite the next morning, resulting in nutritional imbalance and causing obesity.

② Skin damage:

Our skin enters the maintenance state at 10-11 pm. If we stay up late for a long time, the endocrine and nervous systems of the human body will be disordered, making the skin dry, inelastic, dull and lifeless, and causing problems such as acne, blackheads and dark spots.

③ Memory loss:

The sympathetic nerves of those who stay up late remain excited at night, and during the day they will feel listless, dizzy, have memory loss, lack of concentration, slow reaction, etc. Over time, they will also experience neurasthenia, insomnia, and even depression in severe cases.

④ Cardiovascular disease:

If you sleep less than 6 hours a night, your chances of developing heart disease or stroke are twice that of the general population. If teenagers suffer from long-term insomnia, their chances of developing hyperlipidemia when they grow up will greatly increase.

⑤Cancer:

Staying up late frequently is closely related to the incidence of cancer.

After seeing so many dangers, do you still dare to stay up late?

What you endure is not the night, but life!

But sometimes we have to stay up late, so what should we do? How can we minimize the harm of staying up late to our body?

① Take advantage of naps:

According to personal living habits, you can take a nap around 2 pm, so that your mind will be clear, your body will be refreshed, and your spirit will be full. The appropriate time for the nap is 20-30 minutes, and it is best not to exceed 1 hour.

②Supplement sufficient water and nutrition:

Drink plenty of water when staying up late, and try not to drink stimulating beverages such as coffee or tea. People who like to stay up late should try to eat regularly and eat on time to avoid problems such as indigestion.

③Outdoor sports:

Fresh air is good for your health, and moderate exercise is also a good way to get rid of the sluggish state after staying up late.

In short, the most important thing is to have a regular sleep schedule and try to go to bed and wake up at the same time.
