October 10 is " World Mental Health Day ". The theme of the 2022 National World Mental Health Day is "Creating a Good Environment and Helping Mental Health Together". World Health Organization recommends cultivating a healthy lifestyle and creating space for your own mental health. A healthy lifestyle is good for physical and mental health, and a reasonable sleep can keep people in good condition. However, many people face the troubles of being sleepy but not wanting to sleep, staying up late and being unable to quit, and even wanting to sleep. The harms of these behaviors to the body need to be further understood.
Stay up late and fall
Latest research shows that as the sleep time extends, the risk of falling and falling to medical treatment in middle-aged and elderly people is reduced. Compared with middle-aged and elderly people who sleep 6 to 7 hours a night, middle-aged and elderly people who sleep 5 hours a night and 5 to 6 hours a night have a higher risk of falling, middle-aged and elderly people who sleep ≥8 hours a night have a lower risk of falling, and middle-aged and elderly people who sleep 5 hours a night have a higher risk of falling to seek medical treatment. Regulating the sleep time of middle-aged and elderly people and strengthening lifestyle intervention can effectively reduce the incidence of falls in middle-aged and elderly people.

staying up late and hyperuricemia
A study by the Haidian District Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Beijing explored the association between sleep time and hyperuricemia, and analyzed the dosage-efficiency relationship between sleep time and hyperuricemia risk. A total of 5,380 residents were included in the study, with an average sleep time (7.24±1.16) h. The results showed that compared with the 7-9 h group, the risk of disease in the 7-9 h group and the 9 h group increased. After adjusting for confounding factors, compared with those with sleeping time of 7 to 9 hours, people with sleeping time of 7 and 9 hours have a higher risk of hyperuricemia. The results of restrictive cubic spline regression analysis showed that the correlation intensity of sleep time and hyperuricemia was distributed in a "U" shape, indicating that adults had too long or too short sleep time, which increased the risk of hyperuricemia.

staying up late and low back pain
from 2011 to 2015, and selected middle-aged and elderly people with baseline age 45 years old in three surveys in 2011, 2013 and 2015, and explored the impact of sleep time and sleep quality on the risk of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly people in my country. The research results show that compared with sleep time 7 to 8 h/d, sleep time 7 h/d is the influencing factor of lower back pain in middle-aged and elderly people [HR=1.63, 95%CI(1.37, 1.95); compared with good sleep quality, impaired sleep quality is the influencing factor of lower back pain in middle-aged and elderly people [HR=1.85, 95%CI(1.58, 2.17)]. The impact of restrictive cubic sleep time and sleep quality on the risk of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly people in my country. Insufficient sleep time and impaired sleep quality are closely related to the risk of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly people. In the presence of insufficient sleep time and impaired sleep quality, the risk of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly people is more obvious.

Stay up late and cognitive damage
Accurate sleep deprivation will affect individuals' cognitive and emotional functions, causing damage to cognitive and emotional functions such as attention, working memory, inhibition and control, emotional recognition, and emotional regulation. Neural mechanism research on cognitive tasks found that acute sleep deprivation mainly affects the functions of brain regions such as frontoparie, highlighting network, default network, thalamus , and emotional tasks mainly affects the functions of brain regions such as the amygdala, medial prefrontal lobe, and highlighting network.

Stay up late and weak
A study by Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine used the hierarchical group sampling method and randomly selected 1 of 6 communities and 10 administrative villages from Jinan City in December 2019 in 1991 from 6 communities and 10 administrative villages in Jinan City. 130 elderly people were surveyed, and the impact of sleep quality, traditional Chinese medicine constitution type and its interaction on the weakening of the elderly were analyzed and explored. The results show that the risk of weakening in elderly people with sleep disorder and having a biased constitution is 12.960 times that of peaceful elderly people, with excess risk (RERI) = 6.101, attribution ratio (AP) = 0.471, interaction index (S) = 2.041, sleep quality and traditional Chinese medicine constitution type have an additive interaction for weakening in elderly people.
