Ms. Wang is a nurse at in Grade A hospital. She needs to work night shifts every week. When she first entered the unit, she didn't feel anything about working night shifts.
However, as she worked longer, she found that her skin began to get rougher and her hair tended to decrease. Ms. Wang is also quite upset about this.
Although she once thought about changing jobs and going to a department that doesn’t work night shifts, it’s too difficult. After all, in the hospital, there are indeed many nurses who don’t want to work night shifts, and there are very few jobs that don’t work night shifts.
In real life, many friends may have the same ideas as Ms. Wang, but they cannot achieve their goals for various reasons. Although staying up late hurts the body, if you pay attention to some details, it can reduce or even eliminate the harm to the body of staying up late. In order to let everyone have more understanding and understanding of staying up late, today the doctor will have a good idea to talk to you about the relevant knowledge.
1. What harm does staying up late have to the body?
Objectively speaking, staying up late is still quite harmful to the human body. The specific ones can be summarized as follows:
❶ No spirit the next day:
People who have experienced staying up late should know that after staying up all night, even if they take a rest the next day, they will feel uninspired and tired.
is actually easy to understand. When people sleep, they are equivalent to resting. If you don’t rest when it’s time to rest, it’s reasonable to feel tired and look unenergized the next day.
❷ affects fertility:
In recent years, the number of infertile has been increasing. Although there are many possible reasons, the more important point is that it is related to staying up late.
If a person stays up late often, it will change the original biological clock and cause hormone secretion disorders in the body. For men, staying up late often will affect the vitality of sperm. For women, staying up late regularly can lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn affects women's ovulation cycle.
Therefore, staying up late will affect fertility for both men and women. For couples who are preparing for pregnancy, they should avoid staying up late.
❸ increases the risk of chronic diseases:
When people stay up late, the secretion of hormones such as adrenaline in the body is higher than that of normal people.
After the secretion of these hormones increases, it will cause abnormal metabolism in the human body, thereby increasing the risk of chronic diseases, such as hypertension , diabetes , etc.
Maybe everyone doesn’t understand why staying up late increases the risk of diabetes, so I will explain it here. When people stay up late, the secretion of many hormones increases. Among these hormones, most are glycemic hormones. Therefore, when a person stays up late for a long time, he will increase his risk of diabetes.
❹ increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents:
When people stay up late, the secretion of dopamine , adrenaline and norepinephrine in the body increases, and this type of hormone itself has the effect of high blood pressure.
When blood pressure rises to a certain level, it will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, such as cerebral infarction , cerebral hemorrhage , myocardial infarction, etc.
❺ increases the risk of cancer:
Some studies have shown that staying up late for a long time will increase the risk of cancer, and this is actually easier to understand.
For women, when they stay up late for a long time, it will lead to abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone, and some common tumors in women (such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer, , uterine fibroids, etc.) are related to abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone.
At the same time, when a person stays up late for a long time, his immunity will definitely decrease. Our immune system has a monitoring effect. When human cells become cancerous, they can quickly identify and kill these cancer cells in time.
If a person's immunity decreases, the monitoring effect of the immune system will definitely decrease, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of cancer.

The harm of staying up late in addition to the above points, it also includes insomnia, anxiety, Arrhythmia, reduced immunity, abnormal liver function, rough skin, obesity and other problems.
