People who often go to bed late, what happens in the end? Over time, you may have to bear 5 consequences

Young man, how long has it been since you had a good night's sleep?

"Be sure to go to bed early tonight" may be the first sentence many people think about when they wake up and go to work every day, and it is also the biggest "lie".

Affected by games, short videos, TV dramas, novels, etc., it seems that more and more people are "reluctant to sleep" at night , even if they need to get up early to commute the next day, even if they only sleep for three or four hours...

A survey on the 2021 young people staying up late report initiated by "36 Krypton" shows:

• 80% of young people think that going to bed after 0:00 is considered staying up late, but 69.1% of young people are still willing to go to bed after 0:00;
• 40% of young people stay up late almost every day, and those who hardly stay up late account for less than 4%;
• 70% of young people stay up late to watch videos and watch dramas, and more than half of them stay up late to watch social media.

In view of this situation, Xiao Jiu wants to say that the harm of staying up late to sleep is not just the lack of energy the next day! It may be more harmful than you think...

1. "Reluctance to sleep" is actually a disease

I believe that many people who are "addicted" to staying up late, whether it is a weekday or a weekend, will feel "reluctant to sleep" at night, so they stay up late...

Many people think that staying up after 0 o'clock is considered staying up late. What time does it start to count as staying up late?

In fact, there is no definite answer to sleep time since ancient times, but from the perspective of cell secretion, there is a hormone called melatonin. Its secretion mainly reaches its peak between 23:00 and 4:00 am , so many experts say that falling asleep after 23:00 , Even if it is staying up late.

In addition, "reluctant to sleep" is actually a kind of mental illness .

Many people stay up late because they are under pressure from work and study during the day, dissatisfied with low time efficiency, and always want to find time to make up for it at night, so as to obtain time satisfaction. But this kind of satisfaction is not only not comforting, but also aggravates anxiety .

Psychology calls this disease the sleep phase shift syndrome . The most prominent manifestation is compulsive late sleep. Unlike insomnia patients, this disease can still enter deep sleep after falling asleep.

But for people who need to work and live on time, it often affects the energy of the next day.

2. People who habitually stay up late, what will happen in the end?

Everyone usually sees "*** staying up late suddenly died" and "*** suddenly fell ill due to staying up late for a long time" in some news. Generally, it is only in this situation that you can experience the consequences of staying up late.

But in daily life, the most intuitive feeling brought by staying up late is that you have no energy, but the harm caused by staying up late is far less:

1. Decreased immunity

Staying up late for a long time will affect the immune system the most. Disturbance of the biological clock and lack of adequate rest for various functions of the body will make people feel fatigued and the body's resistance will decline accordingly. What follows is that various viruses and bacteria easily pass through the immune system, and various diseases follow one after another.

2. Increased risk of cancer

Cancer cells are formed by mutations in the normal process of cell fission. The disorder of the biological clock and the vigorous period of cell division at night. If you don’t sleep well, the cells are prone to mutation and increase the risk of cancer.

Of course, this is not to say that staying up late will definitely cause cancer. Cancer is the result of the joint action of many factors, but the disorder of the biological clock will increase the probability of cancer.

3. Fat and ugly

People who like to stay up late will find that their skin condition is getting worse and worse. This is because staying up late will destroy the normal circulation of the human endocrine and nervous system, and nerve disorders will cause dry skin and lack luster, etc. Endocrine disorders will make the skin oily The balance is broken, and acne and acne appear.

At the same time, staying up late will also affect the metabolism of the digestive system, prone to fat accumulation, leading to obesity.

4. Increased risk of heart disease

Staying up late puts people in a state of physiological stress, and the secretion of various hormones in the body is twice as high as that of people who go to bed early and get up early. Excessive adrenaline secretion affects people's vasoconstriction, easily causes blood pressure to rise, and leads to heart disease. Increased risk of vascular disease.

5. Prone to sudden death

A study published in the sub-journal of "Nature" found that after staying up late forcibly, the cardiomyocytes are more "fragile" and may also affect the change of ion concentration, causing the heart to "strike" suddenly, causing arrhythmia and even sudden death.

The researchers said that if you really stay up late or even stay up all night, you should pay attention not to do high-intensity exercise or give yourself high-stress work .

3. After staying up late, is it enough to "make up for it"?

After many people often stay up late, they will think that when the weekend comes back to sleep, it will be over. In fact, the harm done to the body by staying up late is irreparable.

A study published in the "Public Library of Science" recorded data from 13 healthy adults for 21 days and found that even after a 7-day recovery period, only the reaction time of the participants returned to the original level, and the behavior, cognition , memory, and neurophysiological responses remain irreparable .

In other words, replenishing sleep cannot make up for the damage caused by lack of sleep! So is there any way to minimize the damage to the body caused by staying up late?

1. Scientific sleep supplement

If you know in advance that you will stay up late on a certain day, you can go to bed early and sleep more a few days before that day, but not more than 9 hours. If you need to stay up late at night temporarily, you can take a nap for 30 minutes to 1 hour during the day to eliminate nighttime fatigue.

2. Supplement nutrition

In terms of nutrition, you can choose to eat foods with high protein content and supplement vitamins in an appropriate amount to help relieve fatigue. Such as milk, fish, soy products are all good choices.

Of course, the most important thing is to reduce staying up late. If you want to develop regular sleep habits, try not to look at your mobile phone before going to bed. You can try listening to some soothing music, or sit quietly, do yoga, etc. to relax your mind and help you fall asleep.
