For today’s young people, sleeping late has become a fashion. They are busy working during the day, gathering, chatting and chasing dramas at night… 24 hours a day. How long do you have to sleep? Perhaps you will say, how can great youth be wasted on sleeping! I want to play and enjoy while I’m young. Only in this way can I waste my time. Having said that, have you ever thought that you are consuming your own vitality in this way? Is it hurting your body?
In addition to young people who like to stay up late, there are also some people who lack sleep mainly due to the pressure of life and work. For a long time, it is easy to cause great harm to the body. So, what diseases can “sleeping too late” induce?
1. Grumpy: I believe many people will understand this. If you don’t have a good rest once in a while, you will become quite grumpy the next day.
2. Headache: about 36% ~ 58% of people do not get enough sleep, and they will have headache when they wake up. Scientists are still unable to find out the reason behind this.
3. Reduced learning ability: many people know that short-term memory is the key to determining learning effectiveness, and those who lack sleep will have reduced short-term memory ability, which will also affect learning effectiveness.
4. Weight gain: people who lack sleep will have an imbalance of hormones in their bodies, not only increase their appetite, but also want more high calorie food, and reduce their ability to control impulsive behavior. Together, these factors lead to rapid weight gain.
5. Poor vision: the less time you sleep, the more likely you are to have visual errors and even hallucinations.
6. Heart disease: according to research, people who sleep only four hours a day have much higher blood pressure than those who sleep eight hours a day, so they are prone to heart disease.
7. Easy to catch diseases: if you don’t get enough sleep for a long time, your body’s immunity will decline and you are easy to get sick.
8. More urine: when people are sleeping, the body will slow down the production of urine; However, if you don’t get enough sleep at night, you will have the problem of “excessive urination at night” and must go to the toilet frequently.
9. Slurred speech: according to research, if you don’t sleep for 36 hours, you are likely to repeat the same words, speak slowly and ambiguously, sometimes like a drunk person.
10. Cold upper body: if you catch a cold three or five times, it may be caused by insufficient sleep. Research shows that people who sleep less than seven hours a day for two consecutive weeks have a three times higher risk of catching a cold than those who sleep more than eight hours a day.
11. More gastrointestinal problems: lack of sleep, easy to cause inflammatory intestinal diseases.
12. Decreased libido: lack of sleep will reduce the secretion of testosterone in the body, resulting in decreased libido.
13. Increased risk of diabetes: lack of sleep will affect the metabolic function of the body, thus increasing the risk of diabetes.
14. High cancer risk: the current research on the relationship between sleep and cancer is still in its early stage, but according to the current results, insufficient sleep does increase the risk of cancer, especially colorectal cancer and breast cancer.
15. Forgetfulness: the less you sleep, the more likely you are to forget, and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease will increase in old age.
16. High risk of death: the biggest risk of people who have been short of sleep for a long time is that the risk of death in a short time is significantly increased.
Researchers at the University of California in the United States once came to a conclusion after observing more than 1 million people: people who sleep 8 hours or more a day, and those who sleep only 4 hours or less a day, will shorten their life expectancy. That is to say, sleeping too much or too little is bad for your health. The most scientific sleep time is 6 to 7 hours every night, which can not only restore physical strength and vitality, but also extend people’s life.
