Use the most expensive eye cream to last the latest night. Hello everyone, I am Director Xia of the Psychiatric Department. I have heard many young people say this sentence.
"If you can stay up late, it proves that you are still young." But do you know? Sleeping well is the foundation for maintaining health.
Insomnia is the source of all diseases, but some people still don’t care about sleep problems, and some people even have many misunderstandings.
Today Director Xia will talk about several misunderstandings about sleep to see if there are any one you don’t know.
1. You can make up for lack of sleep
Some people think that if you don’t sleep well at night, you will make up for more sleep tomorrow. As the saying goes, “Don’t sleep for one night and don’t wake up ten nights.”
Usually, the human body can overcome the fatigue caused by lack of sleep and continue to work and study, but that is only temporary. Therefore, it is not feasible to simply shorten the sleep time by "adjusting the state". In the long run, it will cause varying degrees of damage to the brain nerves.
2. The longer the sleep time, the better the sleep quality
. People’s sleep cycle can be divided into four stages: “sleeping stage, light sleep, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement stage”.
Usually, a sleep cycle is about 90-110 minutes. When such a cycle is repeated 4-5 times, people will wake up. Since there are differences in each person themselves, the so-called eight hours of sleep is not a real measure of the quality of sleep.
3. Dreaming means poor sleep quality
Many people think that having no dreams for a night means having a good sleep. In fact, "dreaming" is an extremely normal physiological phenomenon, but if a person has nightmares frequently or has other adverse manifestations during sleep, such as sleepwalking, sleep talk, etc., then he or she must go to the hospital for professional diagnosis in time.
4. Drinking alcohol before going to bed can help sleep
"Drinking some alcohol before going to bed can make you sleep more soundly." This seemingly unproblematic statement is actually a big mistake. To some extent, alcohol can indeed make people fall asleep faster, but the sleep state caused by alcohol cannot cause people to enter deep insomnia, but will only stay in the light sleep stage.
However, if you are in such a sleep state for a long time, it is very easy to cause sleep disorders .
Long-term lack of sleep causes people far more than diseases that are visible to people’s naked eyes, but more importantly, it will increase the prevalence of many high-risk diseases. For example, heart disease, depression, diabetes , etc.
. One of the self-test criteria is whether you can work and study energetic the next day. If it does not affect normal life, it generally does not require too much intervention. If it has an impact on life and work, diagnosis and treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.
Grasp sleep means grasping health. I am Director Xia. Friends with sleep disorders can talk to me.
