Sleep is a part of our lives and a need to keep our bodies functioning properly. We have always advocated that we should go to bed early and get up early, but now there is a saying that "the earlier you sleep, the sooner you die", is this true?
In our opinion, falling asleep as soon as possible and ensuring adequate sleep time is very beneficial to the body. So how long do you sleep every day benefit you to live a long life? Many people will blurt out 8 hours, but it is not.
The impact of sleep on physical health is crucial and can also affect mental health. Although everyone's awareness of the importance of sleep is becoming more and more profound, many people simply cannot guarantee high-quality sleep.
Some people may often work overtime until late at night because of work, or they may work two shifts and often work night shifts, which causes them to not be able to sleep well at night.
Others like to play mobile phones, play games, often play until midnight, and can't get up in the morning. In the long run, the body's resistance will become worse and worse, and it will be more prone to depression and other emotions.
Adequate sleep can ensure that we are energetic, the organs of the body have been fully rested, and the work is more energetic, so people's resistance can be improved, the risk of various diseases will be reduced, and aging will be delayed, making people younger.
If you often stay up late or lack of sleep, it is not only easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also easy to cause cancer. So it is very important to maintain good sleep habits
In modern society, people are facing pressure such as buying a house, getting married, and childcare, coupled with the competitiveness of work, they dare not relax themselves, and many people lose sleep every day because of stress.
They lay in bed early, confused about their future lives, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep at all. Still others go to bed late at night and wake up later considering that they want to get enough sleep, which is unscientific.
Each organ of the body has its own working rest time, and they cannot be overloaded, otherwise it is very easy to lead to endocrine disorders.
This is all our traditional cognitive sleep, thinking that going to bed early and getting up early, sleeping seven or eight hours a day is the best. And one study showed that people who sleep early are more likely to die early.
The study, published in 2014, compared people who went to bed early with those who went to bed late, and found that going to bed early was more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The survey involved a large number of countries and groups, with more than 110,000 people in more than 20 countries, tracking their schedules for up to nine years.
This group of people was divided into three groups, the first group was to go to bed at 6 to 10 p.m., called the early bedtime group. The second group was the normal group and went to bed at 10 to 12 p.m. The last group was a late sleep group, which went to bed after 12 p.m.
Through comparison, it was found that the risk of cardiovascular disease and sudden death in the normal group was lower, while the early sleep group increased by 29%, and the late sleep group increased by 11%, so it is said that early sleep is more likely to die early.
However, this survey is not necessarily representative, because there are differences in the work and rest of residents in different countries, and the length of life expectancy is also different.
For example, in Europe and the United States and Africa, Africa has a shorter life expectancy, while European and American countries have a longer life expectancy, which will affect the accuracy of the results, so this statement is not very credible.
In order to study the effect of sleep on life expectancy, the Japanese side conducted special explorations, mainly in Asia. The 14-year study and 320,000 volunteers proved that sleeping 7 hours a day was the healthiest and could effectively reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases.
However, there are still some differences between men and women, the optimal sleep duration for men is 6 hours, the risk of all-cause death is the lowest, and women are 7 hours, which is conducive to longevity.
For the sake of everyone's physical health, these three kinds of sleep must sleep less or not sleep. The first is to go to bed immediately after meals.
At this time, the stomach is still peristalsising, the food is still digesting, if you lie in bed to sleep at this time, then it is easy to lead to indigestion, make gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases, it will also lead to stomach cancer and esophageal cancer.
So dinner can be eaten early, so that it gives time for the food to be fully digested, and it is best to sleep three hours after meals.
The second is laziness. Many people like to sleep in, especially on weekends, and don't want to get up at all, just want to lie in bed. And on weekends, people are not willing to go to bed early, thinking that they don't have to get up early, so everyone is very relieved to stay up late.
If you wake up after 8 o'clock in the morning, it is defined as sleeping in. This will disrupt the body's biological clock and cause endocrine disorders, which are extremely harmful to the body in the long term. Finally, sleep with emotions, which is a no-brainer.
Anger is very harmful to the body, people often say that many diseases are caused by anger, although not very accurate, but there is also a certain truth, bad emotions will increase the risk of various diseases.
So if you are angry before going to bed, then you must find a way to vent this bad emotion, so that you can sleep peacefully and be energetic the next day.
Sleep is a big problem, we must develop good sleeping habits, ensure adequate sleep, and improve sleep quality, so that you can keep a clear mind during the day.
