Mr. Ding is 48 years old this year, and although he is middle-aged, he still looks strong. His biggest hobby is playing mahjong, but he didn't expect to be planted on mahjong this time.
As early as some time ago, Mr. Ding and his friends met all night to play hemp to celebrate the New Year's Eve, and when he played 48 laps, Mr. Ding had a particularly good hand, touching himself with small three yuan, and before he could be happy, he fainted on the card table.
Does staying up all night cause a stroke?
An all-night mahjong game, insufficient sleep, why can it cause a stroke? Mr. Ding's attending physician explained: Lack of sleep can easily lead to blood pressure fluctuations, long-term staying up late will make endocrine disorders, these conditions will make the cerebral blood vessels brittle and hard, greatly increasing the risk of stroke, serious may also induce cerebral hemorrhage.
The relationship between sleep deprivation and stroke has been confirmed in a number of studies, mainly related to three points:
First, sleep structure is closely related to stroke.
The scientists studied the sleep of 30 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and found that their sleep structure had changed significantly. Prolonged sleep time and increased number of awakenings during sleep are triggers for many cerebrovascular diseases.
Second, sleep is a cyclical change in blood pressure and is also closely related to stroke.
Normally, during the sleep-wake cycle, blood pressure fluctuates significantly. The study found that an increase in mean blood pressure, especially at night, promotes the onset of symptomatic stroke and the formation of asymptomatic ischemic foci in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction.
Third, there is a relationship between sleep breathing disorder and stroke.
People with sleep apnea syndrome are the most common of all sleep apnea disorders and are highly dangerous. This disease increases sympathetic activity, reduces the blood supply to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, and may induce bloody stroke.
Is it good for the body to sleep enough for 8 hours?
Since lack of sleep will increase the incidence of stroke and will bring other harms, it can be considered that the more you sleep, the better. In fact, this idea is not scientific enough, and the longer the sleep time, the better.
People who sleep for too long, the quality of sleep is not high, and after the amount of deep sleep has been completed, the next step is to enter the sleep state, which is easily disturbed by environmental factors and wakes up.
Others think that sleeping up to 8 hours is the healthiest, which is actually a fallacy. A new study published in the sub-journal JAMA shows that sleeping for 8 hours a day increases risk.
The scientists analyzed 322721 participants to explore the relationship between sleep time and mortality. The results found that the duration of sleep of 7 hours significantly reduced the risk of various diseases and reduced mortality. So under normal circumstances, sleeping 7 hours a day is enough, there is no need to pursue eight hours of sleep.
Scientific sleep is healthier
1. Choose comfortable utensils
If you want to improve the quality of sleep and want to make yourself fall in love with sleep, you must first choose the right sleeping utensils. To choose a mattress with moderate softness and hardness, choose a pillow with the right height. Bedding should be clean and soft, and the quilt should not be too thick and heavy. Make sure the bed is clean and tidy and not too dirty.
2. Use the correct posture
Sleep posture is a university question, and different groups of people have different sleeping postures. People with heart disease are best to choose to lie on the right side so as not to compress the heart. People with cerebrovascular disease can appropriately raise the occipital position. People with stomach discomfort should be mainly in the right position, and those who have pain in the limbs should not be pressed to the painful part.
3. Maintain adequate sleep time
Getting enough sleep is important, and it's best to be able to get 7 hours of sleep. There are individual differences between people and people, some people sleep for a short time, some people sleep for a long time, as long as they wake up refreshed from sleep, there is no feeling of discomfort, it means that the current sleep time is sufficient and appropriate.
4. Create a good sleeping environment
The sleeping environment mentioned here has three aspects that need to be paid attention to, the first is to pay attention to the indoor temperature, preferably between 15 and 24 ° C. The second is to pay attention to the light in the room, sleep dimly, if there is light pollution, to change the blackout curtains. The third is to pay attention to the sound when sleeping, a quiet environment to help you fall asleep, and if necessary, bring soundproof headphones.
Sleep and health are closely related, and good sleep can escort good health. The relationship between sleep and stroke is close, lack of sleep will increase the incidence of stroke, so do not work all night, the habit of staying up late is recommended to correct.
