Can staying up late affect your health?

Sleeping less than one or two hours a day is not a complete staying up late, but long-term lack of sleep will lead to physical reactions similar to staying up late, which will also affect your health.

Usually, the normal sleep time of adults should be 7-8 hours, and sleep time less than 6 hours is regarded as insufficient sleep. If a person sleeps 1-2 hours less than normal every day, although it is not completely staying up late, it will also have a negative impact on the body in the long run.

Lack of sleep will lead to the decline of physical functions, including attention, reaction ability, memory and so on. Long-term lack of sleep may also increase the risk of diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression and so on.

Therefore, ensuring adequate sleep time every day is helpful to protect health and improve work and life efficiency. If there is a need to stay up late, try to avoid staying up too late and arrange sleep time and work and rest reasonably.
