Did you sleep well yesterday? The sentence
has now become a commonly used greeting.
didn't sleep well yesterday.
seems to have some sleep deprivation recently.
Many people will answer this way. The answer to
gives people the feeling that it just doesn’t have enough sleep time, but the problem should not be big.
It seems that as long as you find an opportunity to make up for insufficient sleep time, everything will return to normal.
This seems to be the opinion of most people.
But according to Stanford 's research on sleep, things are far from that simple.
In the eyes of Stanford University sleep research experts, insufficient sleep time should be regarded as insufficient, rather than as insufficient, it should be called sleep liability.
is like a debt of money. Once the lack of sleep continues to accumulate, it will eventually lead to us being unable to repay.
The body and brain will be affected, resulting in complete bankruptcy of sleep.
In this case, we can imagine it as money. If your status is still 10,000 yuan short of money, then as long as you make up for the 10,000 yuan, it seems that the problem will be solved, and there is no big problem.
But if you are in debt of 10,000 yuan, the debt itself has interest, so your total debt will continue to increase over time.
So for the situation where sleep time is not enough, it is more similar to sleep debt.
does not just make up for the missing sleep time. It will continue to cause new problems and accumulate until your body completely collapses.
Even so, many people are still indifferent to sleep problems.
Because they think that even if they take a step back, sleep problems are indeed dangerous and will have adverse effects, but at most, it will only damage your health. As long as you feel that there is no problem, it should be fine.
In fact, insufficient sleep will not only harm yourself, but also may also cause danger to others.
We all know that driving while drunk is very dangerous.
For people with sleep debt, driving behavior is equally dangerous, and even more dangerous.
Because a person with sleep debt seems to be normal and awake, but in fact, his physical functions are likely not functioning normally at all.
Someone once conducted an experiment on sleep debt, and 20 doctors on night shifts were invited to participate. The specific content of the experiment is also very simple. In this way, these doctors who are working on the night shift will find the circle in the randomly appearing figures.
This is simply too simple, so simple that it is even boring.
So, doctors who do not have night shifts can respond correctly in graphical shapes.
But the situation of doctors who work overnight is completely different, and they have no response at all many times.
By observing its brain wave , it was found that the doctor who was working overnight had seen the circle but did not respond, because they had a moment of sleep for about 1 to 10 seconds.
That is to say, they actually fell asleep during this period, but I don’t know at all.
Instant sleep often only lasts a few seconds, which is difficult for both the parties involved and the people around you to notice.
But what happens if instantaneous sleep occurs in a special occasion, such as when you are negotiating with an important customer?
If you are driving, what will happen if the instantaneous sleep occurs?
Although instantaneous sleep only lasts for a few seconds, if it is a speed of 6000 meters per hour, even if you only have 4 seconds of diligence, your car has already traveled 70 meters.
So the danger of sleep debt is much more serious than we imagined.
It will not only harm the party themselves. If a person with a sleep debt is in a special occasion, such as driving, it is very likely to cause more serious consequences than drunk driving . What is even more frightening is that instantaneous sleep, until an accident occurs, cannot even feel it.
