Now, staying up late is a very common thing. Whether busy at work or socializing, it seems that everyone has a reason to stay up late. Especially young people, chasing dramas, brushing small videos, etc. I can't put down my mobile phone for various reasons, and I can't stop staying up late. According to statistics, about three quarters of people fall asleep after 1 1 in the evening, while one third fall asleep after 1 in the morning.

We have all heard that "staying up late" will hurt your health, but where is it?

Speaking of staying up late, you have to explain the importance of sleep to others first. Sleep can rest our brains and bodies, thus maintaining our lives. In addition, the quality of sleep is closely related to people's growth, development and longevity. So sleep can be said to be the first tonic for health. So if a person doesn't sleep at night, it is difficult to recover even after a hundred days.

Sleep plays an important role in keeping healthy. When the human body sleeps, the body will replace damaged and broken cells with healthy cells. And if you can't sleep all night, you can't replace new cells. If 654.38+00000 cells die during the day, but only 500000 cells are added in one night, your body will fail and it will "hurt" your body.

More than two thousand years ago, the ancients had established the concept of time medicine, the so-called "meridian stream". This theory, which has the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, divides a day into 12 hours, which is closely related and orderly, and has important guiding significance for health care and disease treatment.

It is the "duty" of the gallbladder meridian, and it is the most prosperous time of qi and blood. At this time, lying down and getting ready for sleep is the most helpful for health. If you don't sleep at this time, you will be prone to bitter taste, frequent sighing, chest pain, dull or listless complexion and dry skin. So what many women say about "sleeping beauty sleeps" is actually very reasonable.

It is the time when the liver meridian is on duty, and it is also the time when the liver is cultivated. If you don't sleep at this time, the liver after a busy day can't get enough rest and Yang Can can't get coagulation, and the liver will be easily damaged, which will lead to insufficient yang and excessive liver fire. In Huangdi Neijing, it is mentioned that the liver stores blood, strengthens tendons, and enlightens the eyes. Therefore, in addition to getting angry easily, a poor liver can also lead to eye fatigue and decreased vision.

It's time for the lung meridian to be on duty. The lung meridian is an important channel for regulating internal organs and is responsible for the breathing of the body. Chinese medicine believes that the meridians start from the lung meridian, so if the lung is not good, sleep will be easy, and the quality of sleep will naturally not be much better during this period. Excessive exhaustion of essence will become a catalyst for premature aging; In the same way, it can be proved that as long as you sleep at the right time, you must have entered a state of sleep at this time, which can replenish your lungs very well. Old people are easy to wake up at this time because they are old and lack of qi and blood.

It is the "duty" of the large intestine meridian, when the large intestine meridian is vigorous. At this time, you have to get up to detoxify, while those who stay up late are still sleeping. Huangdi Neijing says: Lung and large intestine are in the exterior. Through Yin Shi's practice, the lungs are full of qi, and the stool is naturally unimpeded. On the other hand, if the toxin is not discharged, it will turn into constipation over time and affect health. Therefore, it is recommended to drink a cup of warm water after getting up, which can better help develop the good habit of defecation.

At this time, the stomach meridian is on duty, which is the most vigorous time for stomach qi. This time is the best time for breakfast, and it is also the easiest to digest. If you stay up late, you are still sleeping at this time. If you don't eat breakfast for a long time, it is easy to hurt your stomach, leading to gastrointestinal diseases such as stomach pain or gastric ulcer.

It is when the spleen meridian is on duty that the temper is born. Eating food into the human body in the morning nourishes the whole body and makes people energetic. At the same time, this time is also the peak of attention and memory in a day, and it is also the golden age of efficient work.

In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "the stomach governs the reception" and "the spleen governs the transport and transformation". The digestion and absorption of the human body is completed by the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach function is not good, then nutrients can not be smoothly transported to the viscera and body. If the body is not nourished, it will inevitably lead to some internal diseases. So most people who often stay up late are "bad-tempered".

After reading the above, some people may say that staying up late is not about not wanting to sleep, but being unable to sleep. Here are some suggestions to help you sleep:

1, suitable temperature: not too cold in summer and not too high in winter.

2, brush your teeth and wash your face: brushing your teeth before going to bed can not only remove dirt and deposits in your mouth, but also help protect your teeth. If you feel fresh in your mouth, you will feel more relaxed when you sleep, which will also help you sleep. Washing your face can keep your skin clean and make your sleep more comfortable and relaxed.

3, combing your hair in the morning and evening: Ancient doctors found that there are many acupuncture points on your head that can play the role of massage stimulation, nourishing your heart and calming your nerves, enlightening your mind, relieving pain and improving your eyesight. Combing the scalp with hands and fingers in the morning and evening to dredge the blood flow in the head is helpful to improve the memory and thinking ability of the brain; It can also promote hair root nutrition, reduce hair loss, eliminate brain fatigue and help sleep.

4. Be prepared before going to bed: Take a proper walk after dinner at night and increase some fatigue, which can help you sleep well; Taking a hot bath before bed can keep your hands and feet warm and help you sleep; There is a saying that "it is better to take tonic when washing feet before going to bed", and doctors also call feet "the second heart of the human body". If you can wash your feet with hot water before going to bed every day and massage properly, it will not only promote blood circulation, but also help speed up metabolism and improve sleep quality.

No matter how to make up after staying up late, staying up late has done harm to the human body. So go with nature. By understanding the "ebb and flow at noon", we must know when and how to sleep. We suggest that if it is not a special situation (such as work), everyone should form a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so as to have an account of their health.
