Many people will not be able to sleep when they are excited or worried, which is a very normal thing, but for some sensitive people, the average person does not care too much about things, for them will be "magnified".

What happens when day and night are turned upside down?
Studies have shown that people who work the night shift have a high risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other diseases. Because the ancestors of human beings were not nocturnal animals, the habit of the human body itself is to sleep at night.
People who need to work two or three night shifts a week often have disorders of the sleep cycle, which will cause sleep disorders and insomnia.
Due to the reversed way of working day and night, a large amount of food is usually eaten at night (more than usual), but the body's liver secretes digestive enzymes regularly (more during the day and less at night), so eating in the middle of the night cannot completely digest and decompose food. It is a huge burden on the gastrointestinal system!

Can't sleep, can you take sleeping pills?
Although sleeping pills can induce people to sleep, after all, it is different from the natural process of falling asleep and will bring various side effects.
However, compared with its side effects, long-term lack of sleep is more harmful to the human body, so it is better to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep than to fall asleep naturally, than to sleep at all.
At present, sleeping pills in China are prescription drugs and cannot be purchased in pharmacies, but even if they are prescribed by doctors, users should follow the doctor's guidance, and should not be increased at will, nor can they be taken with many other drugs to avoid danger.
