As the old saying goes, "medicine is not as good as food supplement, and food supplement is not as good as sleep supplement".
On a hot summer day, getting a good night's sleep is a top priority for many people! After all, the quality of sleep affects our physical and mental health to a large extent.
However, I want to remind everyone here, some "sleep" can not sleep, otherwise it is equivalent to death.
Sleeping these "3 sleeps" in summer is equivalent to death!
Stay up late
When it comes to "staying up late", many people must have the right to speak.
Some people stay up late on their own initiative, play with mobile phones "in revenge" before going to bed, swipe friends, shop shopping software, chase new dramas and read novels... I really couldn't stay up, so I reluctantly put down my phone and went to sleep; There are also some people who have to stay up late, such as moms, overtime workers, people who need to work night shifts, and so on.
But no matter which one you are, going to bed late and staying up late is really bad for the body, and the liver is one of the most vulnerable organs.
You know, after 11 p.m., it is a critical period for the liver to repair itself. At this time, if you still stay up late and do not let the liver rest, it will cause the relative lack of blood flow to the liver, making it difficult to repair the damaged liver cells and aggravate the deterioration.
As the largest metabolic organ of the human body, once the liver is damaged, the health of the whole body will be threatened.
In addition, staying up late can also aggravate the condition of liver disease.
After the hepatitis B virus invades the human body, it will not directly cause liver cell damage, but only absorb nutrients in the liver cells, replicate and multiply at the same time. Replicating the "parts" of the virus will cause an immune response, resulting in liver cell damage and necrosis.
In fact, the harm caused by staying up late is far more than the above. Prolonged late sleep in women can lead to menstrual disorders; People who have been upside down for a long time will not only have a bad temper, but also suffer from organs such as the stomach, liver, and skin.
Therefore, if there is nothing to do, don't stay up late, otherwise your life will be lost, which is really worth the loss.
For those who have to stay up late, remember to make up for a nap the next day.
Medical studies have shown that a 30-minute nap at noon can make up for the missing 1 hour of sleep at night and improve alertness, mobility and mood.
From the perspective of TCM health preservation, 11 noon to 13 pm is the most sunny time of the day, when napping can not only compensate for the lack of sleep at night, but also maintain yang qi.
Drunken sleep
Modern people's life is stressful, coupled with more socializing and gatherings, many people have to have a few cups every day.
In fact, no matter how much you drink, alcohol can do great damage to the liver.
After alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly broken down and metabolized by the liver, and the more alcohol is intake, the greater the pressure on the liver.
The intermediate product of alcohol metabolism, acetaldehyde, will also combine with proteins to form acetaldehyde protein adducts, which have a certain toxicity to liver cells, and the damage value is directly full.
Although the liver can catabolize ethanol after it enters the body, its processing speed is also limited. Once the upper limit of treatment is reached, unprocessed ethanol travels through the bloodstream to the brain, causing symptoms of drunkenness.
Studies have found that once drunk, it is equivalent to having acute hepatitis, and the liver has to work overtime for 7 days.
If long-term and excessive drinking, the ethanol contained in the wine itself and acetaldehyde produced by metabolism will cause liver damage and inflammation, and over time will evolve into alcoholic fatty liver.
If not strictly controlled, as the amount of alcohol consumed and the duration of drinking increases, it will develop into alcoholic cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
Not only that, but falling asleep after being drunk and turning your head down, there is also a danger of suffocation!
This is because drunk people are very easy to vomit, but after drinking people are confused, the gag reflex and swallowing movements are sluggish than usual, at this time, if you lie on your back or prone down, the vomit may be difficult to vomit out, and may even reflux back into the trachea, resulting in aspiration.
Once aspiration occurs, aspiration pneumonia can occur in mild cases; Severe cases may obstruct the trachea with vomit, causing suffocation and life-threatening.
Anti-choking tips after drunkenness:
If you are still conscious after drinking, you must remember to lie on your side, which is a safe sleeping position after drinking.
When someone around us is drunk, we can't let them lie down and leave it alone. We'd better do this --
Untie the tie or button of the TA first, keeping the head tilted to one side and leaning back; Then let the TA sleep in the lying position; Observe for abnormal manifestations every once in a while; Once there is a coma, suffocation and other dangerous conditions, send it to the hospital for treatment in time.
Finally, regular drinking alcohol will also affect women's menstrual regularity and ovulation function, endanger male sperm count, activity and development, and cause difficulties for men and women to prepare for pregnancy.
Therefore, Health Jun still advises everyone that it is best not to take a sip of any wine and alcoholic beverages!
Wet detection
Many people are used to bathing and washing their hair before going to bed, and coupled with the hot weather now, they feel that it is not in the way of not blow-drying. Before going to bed, I touched my hair casually, felt that my hair was almost dry, and went to sleep.
In practice, this practice is also not recommended.
The hair is not dried before going to bed, and the moisture of the hair strands is trapped on the scalp. When water evaporates, it not only takes away heat, but also causes the scalp temperature to decrease, causing capillary constriction of the upper respiratory tract and reduced resistance of the upper respiratory tract.
In this way, pre-existing viruses or bacteria will take advantage of the void, causing upper respiratory tract infections, runny nose, nasal congestion, headaches and other cold symptoms.
In addition, "wet detection" will also allow moisture to enter the void, resulting in increased moisture in the body.
In any case, be sure to dry or blow dry your hair before going to bed and don't fall asleep with your hair wet.
