DraganaRogulja, an associate professor of neurobiology at the Blavaznik Institute of the Royal Academy of Medical Sciences, said that in 1983, a study in Chicago found that complete lack of sleep would lead to the death of mice.
According to CDC data, one third of American adults sleep less than the recommended seven hours, and lack of sleep has become very common. Many people are reluctant to adjust it even though they know it is a bad habit. For humans, long-term lack of sleep is related to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression and many other diseases.
From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang is the foundation of life. People with yang are full of vitality. If a person's yang is insufficient, his vitality will also weaken. Nourishing yang means nourishing life, and health care focuses on nourishing yang.
Why do people sleep? Because heaven and earth have yin and yang. If it is sunny during the day, it will be cloudy at night; It is sunny in summer and cloudy in winter. Man is born in heaven and earth, and law is made in four seasons. There is yin and yang in heaven and earth, and people must sleep. If you don't sleep, you will violate the laws of yin and yang of heaven and earth; Second, let the sun be the spirit not return to its roots.
Sleep is the root of yang. The deeper the root of yang is rooted, the stronger the hair grows, the bigger and rounder the movement of yang is, and the healthier people are. On the other hand, if the yang can't take root, the movement of people's yang circle will become smaller and weaker, and people's health will be damaged.
Modern research has found that lack of sleep can lead to organ damage and shortened life span. If we can eliminate this incentive (that is, have a good sleep, go to bed on time and get enough sleep), we can reduce the harm.
Clinically, I also found that it is very important to ensure adequate sleep for patients with serious illness or chronic diseases. If you sleep well, you will recover soon. On the contrary, poor sleep will affect recovery.
In clinical treatment, if a patient has sleep disorder, I often adjust his sleep first. Let the patient sleep well, and the qi and blood will naturally flourish, and the righteousness will be enough. Even without treatment, it is easy to recover. Of course, patients themselves should try to adjust their sleep, sleep on time, get enough sleep, let the sun be the spirit return to its source, and make the circular movement bigger and more round, which will naturally make people healthy.
Lack of sleep can lead to fatigue, inattention and irritability, while long-term lack of sleep can lead to disorientation, paranoia and hallucinations. Can serious lack of sleep lead to death? A study published in the journal Cell on June 3rd found that if animals don't get enough sleep for a long time, a large amount of reactive oxygen species will accumulate in their intestines, leading to premature death. From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, sleep is the root of yang. If you don't get enough sleep for a long time, Yang Can won't take root.
