According to the report of China Sleep Index, 49.2% of China people have serious sleep problems, of which 25% often suffer from insomnia, and only 13.8% sleep soundly. At the same time, the younger you are, the worse your sleep quality is. Sleep is gradually turning into a social problem.
The post-90s generation who are popular in keeping in good health with thermos cups are undoubtedly one of the groups with the worst sleep conditions. Sleeping late, shallow and short, insomnia is slowly eroding our lives. This seems to be a common phenomenon, many people often don't care, and even get used to being listless, sore all over, weak limbs and dizzy the next day.
However, long-term lack of sleep will bring many health hazards to the body. Do you know all this?
put on weight
Nowadays, the problem of obesity also plagues many people. The number of obese people is rising every year, which is directly proportional to sleep problems. So we can understand that lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, and in fact it does.
According to relevant data, people who sleep less than 6 hours a day are more likely to be obese than those who sleep 7-9 hours a day. Hunger hormone in our stomach can stimulate hunger and leptin signals in the brain, thus inhibiting appetite. Shortening sleep time will reduce leptin secretion and increase hunger hormone level. So lack of sleep will not only stimulate our appetite, but also stimulate our desire for high-fat, high-carbon water food.
-Skin problems-
According to the research results, the function of 7 1 1 gene in human body will change within one week after sleeping less than 6 hours every day. In the long run, it will lead to various skin problems such as aggravated dark circles on the face, yellow complexion, loose skin and acne.
When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases more stress hormone cortisol. Excessive cortisol can decompose collagen in skin, and this protein can keep skin smooth and elastic. Insomnia or staying up late, if not corrected in time, skin aging will accelerate and gradually become a "yellow-faced woman." Deep sleep can repair skin tissue, and it is for this reason that you want to sleep for beauty.
-Causing depression-
Over time, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can lead to depression. Insomnia is closely related to depression. The longer the duration of insomnia, the more serious insomnia, and the easier it is to develop into depression. According to a survey of 10000 people, people who suffer from insomnia are five times more likely to suffer from depression than those who do not suffer from insomnia. In fact, insomnia is often one of the harbingers of depression.
Insomnia and depression complement each other. Lack of sleep will aggravate depression, which will make sleep more difficult. In addition, taking a lot of sleeping pills for a long time is also one of the causes of depression. On the positive side, treating sleep problems helps to relieve depression, and vice versa.
-All kinds of health problems-
Lack of sleep and insomnia caused by sleep disorder will increase people's risk of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Lack of sleep will also affect the health of various organs and lead to diseases. Long-term lack of sleep will also reduce people's resistance and make people more prone to illness, especially diseases such as influenza, which cannot be avoided every time.
It is estimated that 90% of insomniacs (people who are characterized by difficulty in falling asleep and easy to wake up) are accompanied by other health problems, which may even increase the risk of death. Previous studies have shown that people who sleep for 7 hours to 5 hours or less have nearly doubled the risk of dying from diseases, and lack of sleep will double the risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases.
-Affect work and study-
Insomnia will lead to a serious lack of sleep, which will do great damage to memory and will inevitably affect work and study the next day. Lack of sleep will make people unable to concentrate, memory decline, slow response, and there will inevitably be many problems that should not appear at work, which will affect a person's development.
If you are still a student, it will have a greater impact on your academic performance. Long-term lack of sleep will make the body unable to make a correct evaluation of things and take action. In a major exam, it will affect judgment because the brain can't concentrate, which will lead to the failure of the exam.
There are so many dangers caused by lack of sleep, why don't we go to bed early? For our own health, we try not to stay up late. Go to bed early and get up early, and greet a brand-new day with full energy.
