Sleep time is significantly shortened, lack of adequate sleep
It is easy to wake up after falling asleep, and wake up many times at night
Lack of energy, lack of concentration, and memory loss during study or work seriously affect work and study
Mood swings are large, prone to irritability, nervousness, anxiety, heart rate acceleration, headaches and other symptoms
In a person's life, 1/3 of the time is spent sleeping. However, the "2021 Exercise and Sleep White Paper" shows that more than 300 million people on the mainland currently have sleep disorders. According to WHO statistics, the insomnia rate among adults in China is close to 40%, which is 11.2% higher than the global average.
If sleep problems are not solved for a long time, they will have a serious impact on human physiological functions, such as anxiety, nervousness, irritability, memory loss, and lack of concentration. To make matters worse, a long lack of adequate sleep can also lead to a decline in immunity, a great increase in the probability of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases, and even damage brain function. It can be seen that sleep disorders can seriously affect our physical health, work efficiency and quality of life.
