In the new study, the research team of Washington State University successfully constructed a sleep model in which the overall sleep time remains the same, so as to reduce the impact of sleep time on the experiment. The researchers adjusted the biological clock of experimental rats to about 24 hours, and shortened it to 20 hours by shading. Four weeks later, the researchers injected the rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a substance that can cause non communicable diseases. The results showed that the immune response of experimental mice injected with LPS was sluggish or excessive, which meant that their ability to resist diseases was weakened.
Elijah, head of the new research? Dr. carat soleos pointed out through analysis that although the sleep time obtained by experimental rats is the same, the impact on health is very different. After the normal biological clock was disturbed, the experimental rats woke up more times during sleep, and the brain activity closely related to restorative sleep decreased. The instability of immune response indicates that the interference of sleep wake rhythm will have serious consequences on organism health.
New research reveals that in modern life, night lighting, extended working days, shift work, jet lag, etc. will interfere with the sleep cycle. If you go to bed too late, it is difficult to ensure the quality of sleep even if you have enough sleep.
