Why do some people fall asleep while others stay up all night? Most of them are related to 5 major factors. Let’s take a look

Although everyone needs sleep, 1/3 of our life is spent sleeping.

　　However, everyone's ability to sleep is different. Some people snored loudly within a few minutes of lying in bed, while others often had difficulty falling asleep even if they put down their mobile phones, or even tossing and turning in bed all night. , which directly affects the work and living conditions the next day.

　　Judging from the current clinical data, the reason why people feel sleepy is mainly due to two substances in the human body. The first is adenosine , which starts to secrete after people get up. After accumulating to a certain extent, it will cause drowsiness.

　　The second is melatonin , which begins to be secreted 2 hours before bedtime, and as the concentration increases, the body is more likely to fall asleep.

　　The reason why some people fall asleep while lying in bed is because the secretion of these two substances is in a normal state. Moreover, some people may have mutations in the genes that control sleep, and the body will release more sleep-promoting hormones, so they are born to sleep faster and better quality than others.

　　So the question is, what are the factors that prevent you from falling asleep and staying up all night?

　　1. Sleeping environment

　　As mentioned above, there is a close relationship between melatonin and sleep, and whether its secretion is strong or not is mainly affected by light. The darker the environment, the more intense the secretion of melatonin will be. On the contrary, if the sleeping environment is too bright and you are used to sleeping with the lights on, it will inhibit the normal secretion of melatonin.

　　Even if people can enter the sleep state, they are often only free in the light sleep period, and it is difficult to enter deep sleep . After waking up, there will be symptoms such as physical fatigue, dizziness and fatigue;

　　2. Too much sleep during the day

　　The human body needs a limited amount of sleep every day, about 6-8 hours . And for Chinese residents, a circadian rhythm of working at sunrise and rest at sunset has been formed.

　　If you break this rhythm, especially if you sleep too long during the day, the adenosine that should have been accumulated during the day will be consumed in large quantities during sleep , which will naturally affect sleep at night and eventually form a vicious circle;

****## 　　3. Mental stress

　　In fact, there is a close relationship between mental factors and sleep, which is the main reason for sleep disorders.

　　For example , work and life during the day are very unsmooth, the recent life pressure is extremely high, or you have suffered huge emotional trauma during the day , etc. Although your mental state is already very tired, under the influence of emotions, it often leads to excitement in the central system , followed by insomnia, poor sleep quality, nightmares and other problems;

　　4. The influence of diet

　　There is also a link between diet and sleep, such as drinking a lot of coffee or strong tea during the day, which can cause the nervous system to get excited and be unable to fall asleep.

　　In addition, if you eat a lot of food at night, or eat a late-night snack before going to bed, the stomach is still in the active period , and a large amount of blood is supplied to the gastrointestinal system . Inability to sleep well all night , or even sudden gastroesophageal reflux;

5. Disease impact

　　In addition to the above physiological factors, if the patient has certain diseases, it may also be difficult to fall asleep. For example , the typical early manifestation of depression is insomnia and early awakening. In addition , menopausal syndrome, pain caused by joint disease, thyroid disease , etc., may affect sleep status.

　　Finally, I would like to remind everyone that after the insomnia problem occurs, everyone must first find the cause from the aspects of diet, spirit and sleep environment, and then make relevant adjustments.

　　However, if the adjustment is ineffective, insomnia has seriously affected one's life, and the state is getting worse and worse. In this case, the patient should seek medical attention in time, and then carry out targeted treatment after finding the cause of insomnia.****
