According to the report of China Sleep Index 20 16, more than 23% people in China have the habit of staying up late. 18-35 years old people are the hardest hit areas, and college students and young professionals are here. Stay up all night? The proportion is relatively high.
the harm of staying up late
Specifically, people who often stay up late and stay up late will have the following health risks:
First, obesity. ?
People who stay up late often eat supper without restraint, which is not only difficult to digest, but also makes them fat due to overnutrition and insufficient exercise consumption. ?
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, staying up late hurts the spleen. Spleen governs transport and transformation, and spleen injury reduces transport and transformation function. Phlegm and turbid water metabolized by diet can not be discharged normally, and stagnates under the skin, that is, fat is formed, which leads to weight gain. ?
Second, memory declines. ?
Often go to bed late, sympathetic nerves will be habitually excited at night, while working during the day will lead to listlessness, inattention, slow response and memory loss. After a long time, it will also lead to insomnia, neurasthenia and other adverse consequences. ?
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, staying up late leads to the rise and fall of Yang Qi. On the one hand, Yang Qi can't get rest, and her hair is weak, leading to yang deficiency, brain failure and brain failure; On the other hand, fire should be in kidney water. If staying up late causes the fire to rise and fall, it will disturb the brain and affect the gods.
Third, vision is declining. ?
Staying up late for a long time will inevitably lead to excessive use of eyes, prone to blurred vision and decreased vision. ?
From the analysis of Chinese medicine, staying up late hurts the liver, and the liver begins to understand. Liver blood deficiency, on the other hand, can't adapt, resulting in poor eyesight. ?
Fourth, the resistance drops. ?
Long-term fatigue, staying up late, the body will be tired, the immunity will be reduced, the body's resistance will be weakened, and problems such as colds and allergies will easily occur.
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, staying up late hurts the five internal organs, leading to insufficient yang. Righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done. When vital qi is damaged, the external defense function will decline, and it is easy to feel the invasion of external evil and get sick. ?
Fifth, cancer is frequent. ?
Staying up late for a long time will affect the endocrine level, lead to abnormal metabolism and may even lead to cancer. Studies have confirmed that people who stay up late for a long time are more likely to get cancer.
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, cancer stems from insufficient positive energy and evil spirits. Staying up late hurts vital qi, leading to the decline of yang qi gasification function, yin turbid water stagnation, phlegm turbid and damp heat, and so on.
Sixth, cause sudden death. ?
Studies have confirmed that staying up late can lead to many diseases and even sudden death. Tired during the day and often staying up late at night will induce sudden changes in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the heart, which may lead to sudden death. ?
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of sudden death is lack of vitality and sudden break of heart yang. On the one hand, staying up late will hurt righteousness; On the other hand, staying up late disturbs the heart yang, which is easy to cause the heart yang to float. Staying up late for a long time, the weaker the vitality, the more floating the heart yang, that is, the tendency to take off.
We all have life experience. When we stay up late, we will feel confused and our thinking ability will drop. Moreover, our faces are often greasy and sunken, and we may even feel that we are physically weak and prone to negative emotions due to wind, evil and cold. This is actually a manifestation of the decline of healthy qi and the rise of virtual fire. Staying up late, the fire burns more and more brightly, and people's health level will drop rapidly.
Studies have shown that people who sleep 7-8 hours a night live the longest, and those who sleep less than 4 hours, 80% are short-lived. Chinese medicine not only pays attention to the length of sleep every day, but also pays more attention to sleeping on time. For example, when children are young, the gallbladder meridian is smooth, and when they are ugly, the liver meridian is smooth. If you don't sleep for these two hours, it will affect the function of the liver, gallbladder and meridians, resulting in the gallbladder fire not falling and the liver blood not rising, resulting in the floating of deficiency fire and insufficient yuan.
(2) Avoid staying up late and be self-disciplined.
Staying up late is suicide. Not staying up late comes from strict self-discipline. I have always believed that only self-disciplined people can be healthy, because self-discipline is necessary to regulate diet, daily life, exercise and calm mood. What is self-discipline? Self-discipline is actually self-discipline, which persists day after day and eventually becomes a habit. What are the benefits of self-discipline?
First, self-discipline can bring freedom. Like Steve, the founder of Apple? Jobs said: Where does freedom come from? Start with confidence. Self-confidence comes from self-discipline. Only by learning to control yourself and controlling your life with strict schedules can you constantly hone your self-confidence in self-discipline.
Second, many times our anxiety often stems from lack of self-discipline. Because only self-disciplined people can control their own lives and work and win under pressure.
Third, self-discipline can bring health. God is fair to everyone. Self-disciplined people must pay attention to adjusting their diet, daily life and exercise, adjust their emotions, and try to stay away from negative emotions such as resentment, anger and trouble. Imagine, if you persist, such people will become healthier and healthier. People who are not self-disciplined and refuse to keep in good health are doomed to be eliminated. Why should a person who can't even control himself ask God for preferential treatment? Why can you stay healthy all the time? ?
Health is the best criterion to test the result of life, and the person who comes to the end must be highly self-disciplined. Many people like to attribute their illness to others or environmental factors. They often think that what destroys their health is excessive work pressure, bad living environment and the influence of others, but they always refuse to admit that what destroys their health is their lack of self-discipline.
How to avoid staying up late? My suggestions are: on the one hand, we must first realize the great harm of staying up late, affecting health and life expectancy. And health is the key to wealth, career, family, status and so on. Without health, everything will be zero. On the other hand, learn from the painful experience and think about how to keep healthy for yourself. Then self-discipline, self-discipline and go to bed early every day. In short, it is a sentence: how self-disciplined you are, how healthy you are. ?
If you don't stay up late, you will be refreshed, energetic and physically strong the next day, which can better improve your work efficiency and make yourself happier and more enjoyable. Why not? (Dong Hongtao)
