Psychologist: Is it really healthier to sleep for 8 hours and go to bed early and get up early than to go to bed late and get up late?

I believe many people will have a question, that is, do you have to sleep for eight hours, from 22: 00 to 6: 00 every day,12: 00 to 8: 00, or even from 2: 00 to10 in the morning? Does it have a big impact on health?

In other words, as long as I get enough sleep, is staying up late a night?

In the field of psychology, there are various studies on sleep. Especially with the development of science and technology, psychologists know more and more about the mechanism of sleep. The answers to some questions will be revealed.

Let's take a look.

(1) In the strict sense, going to bed early and getting up early is actually the same as going to bed late and getting up late.

If we make a strict assumption: a person goes to bed at 10 every night and gets up at 6 am. The other person B, put off for two hours, 12 went to bed, starting at eight o'clock.

Then, under the condition of the same sleep quality, there will be no difference in the health status of two people. Psychological research shows that human rhythm and biological clock are quite adjustable. As long as they can maintain a stable time, it will not have much impact on people's health. Various organs in the human body will also adjust their working hours according to your schedule.

(2) In practice, going to bed late is definitely not as good as going to bed early.

But in real life, people who go to bed late are definitely not as good as those who go to bed early. There is a simple reason. Most people who go to bed late can't get high quality sleep.

First of all. All kinds of noises will disturb you in the morning. Although you may not realize it, they will disturb you, prevent you from falling into deep sleep, and even interrupt your sleep process.

Secondly, the problem of light. When we receive natural light, all kinds of functions of the body will be awakened, which means that when you receive the morning sunshine, you will get up naturally.

Unless you can close the room, it is difficult for you to have a good sleep in the morning.

(3) Harm of changing rhythm

What is really harmful to the body is to change the precepts. For example, working days 1 1 point and weekends 1 point. This is terrible.

Because this will make your body at a loss, just adapt to a certain rhythm, and it will be chaotic in a few days. Over time, physical and psychological problems will occur.

(4) the harm of complete inversion.

Psychologists have found through further research that our rhythm is still influenced by gene expression. For an extreme example, what will happen if people's rhythm is completely reversed, rather than simply delayed?

The conclusion is that the expression of many genes related to circadian rhythm in human body is obviously reduced. People are in a very abnormal state.

Conclusion:

In fact, everyone's schedule is different. Some people are early risers, while others are late risers. Generally speaking, as long as you fall asleep at a relatively normal time and ensure the stability of sleep time and sleep time, it will not do any harm to your mental and physical state.
