A few days ago, Yang Mou of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, because he stayed up late and was tired of driving, drove a car and hit the railing in the middle of the road.
For a time, dozens of steel pipes of guardrails rushed into the air, and the scene was very dangerous.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in the end.
Afterwards, the driver Yang Mou said that when he first got on the car, he felt a little sleepy, but thinking that he would arrive in a while, he endured sleepy driving, and then did not know how to crash into it.
Yang often stayed up late because of business matters, and before this accident, he had stayed up all night.
After work, he should have had a good rest, but he went to play with friends, and his body did not get a good rest, which caused this car accident.
When it comes to staying up late, the Internet is full of such a sentence: "I stay up not at night, but free." "It's used by a lot of people as an excuse to stay up late.
Staying up late has irreversible damage to the brain, such as memory loss, unresponsiveness, etc., and will also cause a decrease in immunity.
Staying up late for a long time will not only seriously affect your health, but also may lead to irreparable disasters.
There are 8 types of insomnia situations, which one are you
Writer Turgenev said:
"Sleep is like a cool wave that washes away everything in your mind."
However, in an era of fast-paced life, high work pressure, and the proliferation of electronic products, quality sleep is becoming more and more rare.
The "2021 Exercise and Sleep White Paper" shows that more than 300 million people in China now have sleep disorders, which means that about 5-6 people have one in 5-6 people suffering from sleep disorders.
More than a third of adults don't get enough sleep during the workday, and few get their sleep back on weekends.
Such a small amount of sleep, accumulated over time, will cause irreparable damage to the body.
Not long ago, the People's Daily published 8 types of insomnia to see if you have a good sleep standard:
1. Night awake type.
You can fall asleep normally at bedtime, but after 3-4 hours of sleep, you will become abnormally awake.
Sleep less than 4 hours deep each night and get up dizzy in the morning.
2. Morning Bird type.
Because I was too busy during the day, I slept at night when it was dark.
However, when you sleep until about two o'clock in the morning, you will habitually wake up.
There are many reasons, whether they are awakened by purring or by the crying of a child.
3. Night cat kitten type.
Excited at night, watching TV, reading books, surfing the Internet, and going to bed at two or three in the morning.
Although you can sleep in bed at the beginning, over time, you will "turn passive into active" to sleep late, and unconsciously, become a real "night owl".
4. Anxiety type.
During sleep, he will wake up many times and then worry about the trivialities of work and life.
Even if you fall asleep, your body will be in a state of tension and unable to enter a deep sleep.
5. Lai bed type.
Can't sleep at night, can't wake up during the day, often lie in bed.
In the international classification standards for sleep disorders, "bed rest" has been included, and it is clinically called "narcolepsy".
6. Chronic insomnia type.
Fall asleep for a long time, wake up many times during sleep, and often talk about dreams.
Sleep disturbances occur for more than 3 consecutive days a week and last for 3 months.
7. Overstimulating type.
Worked overtime until two or three o'clock in the morning to get the job done, and then couldn't fall asleep due to excessive excitement.
Or excessive exercise at night, adrenaline rush, and people can't sleep.
8. Absent-consciousness type.
Often less than 5 hours of sleep, memory and attention are poor, is the characteristic of this type of insomnia.
Long-term lack of sleep will make people's immunity decline, the nervous system is chaotic, and thus enter a more sleepless state.
The quality of your sleep determines the quality of your life
For a long time, there is a view circulating on the Internet:
"Why should you sleep for a long time before you die, and you will never sleep after you die?" "Having never seen a city at 4 a.m., it's not enough to talk about life."
Many people deliberately misinterpret the meaning, use this as a shield, and stay up late at will, completely disregarding their physical condition.
"3 female college students in Changsha stayed up late to cause premature ovarian failure" "Post-90s girls stayed up late for 10 years to grow age spots"...
Similar to the news that because of the late night addiction to brushing dramas, the condition of the body is frequently searched.
American host Ariana Huffington was born in Greece, has published many books, and has been named the most influential woman by Forbes.
When she started the Huffington Post website, she turned herself into a day-and-night workaholic.
Because there are only 5 employees, Arianna is both inside and outside, not only to write her own blog, but also to find someone to be a contract blogger.
Finally, Arianna, who often worked all night, fainted at her desk due to excessive fatigue, resulting in a fracture of her cheekbone.
It was also this incident that gave Arianna an epiphany:
"When I'm exhausted, I'm in the worst state of being — more passive, less empathy and creativity."
What is the significance of such a self-effort? What is the quality of life?
So Arianna started her business again and became an evangelist of "8 hours of sleep", helping people to relieve stress and persuade people to learn to sleep.
When we are full of sleep, the toxins in the brain are removed, our emotions are adjusted, and the next full day will be more qualitative.

How can I get a good night's sleep?
Writer Qian Zhongshu said:
"Sleep this thing has a very strange temper, do not want it, it will come; please it, coax it, do everything possible to seduce it, it will hide even the shadow." 」
Yes, the more you care about sleep, the more it wants to hide and seek with you, it is better to use some "careful machine" to let sleep take the initiative to come to you.
1. Maintain a suitable sleeping environment before going to bed.
Providing yourself with a good environment to fall asleep can get you to sleep faster.
Huang Tingjian, a northern Song Dynasty writer, paid great attention to sleeping utensils.
He likes to use cassia seeds as pillow cores, and feels that such pillows have the effect of clearing heat and calming the spirit and helping the eyes to sleep, and once left a poem: "The pillow sac is curved, and the pillow is willing to sleep and listen to the fenfu." ”
Of course, everyone has different requirements for the sleeping environment.
Some people are easy to fall asleep in the dim light;
Some people can sleep better at the right temperature and in the air;
Others need to stay away from their phones and food to quickly fall asleep.
2. Shorten the time occupied by bad habits.
Deep inside everyone, there is more or less procrastination.
Sidony Camelot, the novelist who wrote The Wandering Girl, is a severe procrastinator.
Before writing every time, she will first "pet the dog": clean the dog, carefully look for lice in the dog's fur, and then cuddle with the dog...
I didn't start writing until there was nothing to play with my dog.
Bill Gates once said:
"A lot of people like to procrastinate, and they don't do the things they have at hand, they don't do it, and that's the biggest vice."
Procrastination is like a monster with full feet, taking up time to do things during the day, and when it is forced to do so, it can only sacrifice sleep at night.
So, when it's time to do things, do things efficiently, do everything during the day, and then relax at night and have a good night's sleep.
3. Don't break good routines.
It takes a long time to form a good habit, but it only takes a moment to break it.
In order for us to have a good night's sleep, don't easily break healthy work and rest habits, otherwise it will take a while to adjust.
In the men's 100m semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian, who set a new Asian record with a time of 9.83 seconds, is a person who strictly maintains his schedule.
Whether it is a normal training day or a real game day, Su Bingtian sleeps at 10 o'clock at night.
Because of the good work and rest, the next day I have enough energy to put into actual combat.
Lexicographer Fowler said:
"People who don't remember sleeping unwell are getting a good night's sleep."
When the habit is formed, the life problems caused by sleep will be solved, and you can get a good night's sleep at night.
Li Yu, a qing dynasty health care family, said: "The key to health care should be to sleep first." ”
Good sleep can not only make people healthy, but also make people feel happy, think quickly, and effectively improve their quality of life.
Valuing sleep, start at this moment.
Light up "praise", may we be energetic, focus on work efficiently, have peace of mind at dusk, and have good quality of sleep health.
