French writer Voltaire believes that sleep is as important as hope.
A recent study published in the journal Science shows that a very strong hope of modern people-losing weight, may be hidden in sleep. American scientists found for the first time that staying up late can increase the intake of dietary fatty acids and the storage of fat by affecting the composition of intestinal microorganisms, thus inducing obesity.
60,000 young people, only 5% work and rest regularly.
The village of Macondo in One Hundred Years of Solitude, where the whole village can't sleep, may have spread all over the world today.
2 1 century human beings are entering the era of great insomnia. The 20 17 China Youth Sleep Report surveyed nearly 60,000 people, and the results showed that only 5% of the respondents had regular schedules.
76% of the respondents said it was difficult to fall asleep, and more than 13% of them even felt in a state of pain, and only 24% of the respondents said that their overall sleep condition was good. People who can "sleep till dawn" can be called the darling of God, and only 1 1% of such young people. Other respondents said they would wake up in the middle of the night.
Lack of sleep will make you eat more.
The price of not being able to sleep is the most unbearable weight for many modern people-getting fat.
In the latest issue of Science, a study published by Professor Lora V.Hooper of the Institute of Immunology, Southwest Medical Center, University of Texas, USA shows that breaking the circadian rhythm will lead to the emergence of a powerful bacterium in the intestinal flora, which will promote mice to eat more dietary fatty acids (the sum of fats in various foods we eat every day) and store fat through a series of signal transduction.
In the laboratory, the intestinal flora of mice that should be sleeping but can't sleep quietly changes:
Most gram-negative bacteria in intestinal microorganisms produce more flagellin and lipopolysaccharide; These substances can cross the intestinal barrier, reach the inside of the intestinal mucosa, and interact with immune cells below the intestinal mucosa, thus promoting the intestinal epithelial cells of mice to ingest high-calorie food and prefer to store fat.
Although the experimental object is mice, a large number of previous studies have also found that staying up late often can also cause significant changes in the composition of human intestinal microorganisms, leading to metabolic-related diseases such as obesity.
Poor sleep and lack of sleep will all be associated with eating, and the result is still: make you fat.
An analysis found that compared with the subjects who got enough sleep, people who were deprived of sleep would consume an average of 385 kilocalories in the next 24 hours, which is equivalent to a wheat-flavored chicken burger.
Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden conducted experiments. Participants in the experiment were 14 normal-weight men. They were divided into two groups: one group stayed up all night; A group that sleeps normally. One night later, after eating a standardized breakfast, participants were given about $50 each, which could be used to buy 40 kinds of foods, including 20 kinds of high-calorie foods and 20 kinds of low-calorie foods.
The results showed that men who didn't sleep bought more calories (increased by 9%) and grams (increased by 18%) than men who slept well, and their blood hunger hormone concentration level was also higher than the latter.
Also troubled by lack of sleep is leptin in the human body. Leptin can inhibit food intake and increase energy release. In 2004, a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed that if adult men only slept for four hours for two consecutive nights, their leptin concentration would decrease 18%. This is enough to make the body think that famine is coming, prompting the body to eat a lot and store fat as soon as possible.
If you can't sleep, imagine that you are already asleep.
There is a way of sleeping that I learned from Haruki Murakami-he goes to bed at 9 o'clock every day and gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning to write.
A child's mother has a similar routine to coax her son to go to bed early. "At that time in the morning, it was very quiet. No one called me and no one sent WeChat, so I can do my own thing efficiently. "
I have asked Chinese medicine, and he thinks this wrong sleep method is basically scientific. "As long as you don't get up early, you won't miss the time to detoxify your liver in the early morning."
The writer Mr. Wang Meng also talked about sleep. At that time, Wendu Tao always told him that he couldn't sleep. Wang Meng hit the nail on the head and said, "You are so clever. People with neurasthenia are just too sensitive. Being dull will make you happier. "
Wang Meng said that and went to take a nap by himself. Wendu Tao said, "It's hard for me to fall asleep in this fragmentary time." Wang Meng talked about an operation method: "When you can't sleep, you think so much in bed. You really fell asleep. You think you're not asleep. That's your dream. "
This is really Zhuang Zhoumeng Butterfly. Speaking of it, life is a big dream. You never wake up, so why can't you sleep? Wash and sleep quickly.
