With the rapid development of economy, people's pace of life has accelerated, leading to a high incidence of insomnia. Recently, "Post-90s have become sleep deprived" has become a hot search. A report shows that the average time for post-90s to fall asleep is 23:50, and "sleeping the latest" is the sleep label of post-90s. Experts believe that mobile phones are the "accomplices" who take up the sleep time of post-90s. 54.3% of post-90s will play with mobile phones or iPads and other electronic devices before going to bed, and the average time of playing with mobile phones before going to bed is 50 minutes.

The National Health Industry and Enterprise Management Association divides sleep into five levels: sweet, comfortable, bitter, irritable, and sleepless. According to the survey, the total number of people born after 1990 who sleep in the bitter, irritable, and sleepless zones accounts for 68.2%, and the overall state is that they need to toss and turn before they can fall asleep peacefully. In recent years, the number of people suffering from insomnia has increased, and long-term insomnia will pose a threat to human health. Only with enough sleep can the body be in a healthy state.

What harm does insomnia bring to the body?

1. Reduce immunity

Frequent insomnia can easily lead to endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders, and also reduce the body's resistance, leading to the invasion of some germs and causing diseases. Frequent colds and other diseases are caused by the immune system being unable to overcome the invasion of various germs.

2. Accelerated Aging

Long-term insomnia will cause excessive loss of moisture and nutrients in the skin, poor blood circulation, and metabolic disorders, so that the skin will naturally become dull and yellow, and accelerate the aging process.

3. Affects brain function

Memory is the basis of high-level psychological activities such as association and thinking, and the brain is the main organ of memory. If you don’t get enough rest, it will lead to serious memory loss. Long-term insomnia will also directly affect people’s thinking ability and concentration, and their thinking ability will gradually weaken at work.

4. Induce mental illness

In recent years, the incidence of many mental illnesses such as anxiety and neurasthenia has increased year by year, and insomnia is the biggest "culprit" of mental illness. According to survey results, people with long-term insomnia have a 1.5 times higher risk of depression than ordinary people, and good sleep can alleviate various mental problems.

5. Cause gastrointestinal diseases

After we fall asleep, the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines will slow down. After a night of slow peristalsis, the stomach and intestines can rest, thus protecting the health of the stomach. If you suffer from insomnia for a long time or stay up too late, the gastrointestinal tract will always be in high-intensity work and cannot rest well. In addition, the time between dinner and breakfast is relatively long, so the stomach may not have food supply in the middle of the night, and a large amount of gastric acid will also cause damage to the stomach.

What should I do if I often suffer from insomnia?

1. Create a good sleeping environment

When sleeping, a quiet environment is important. A dark environment is conducive to the full secretion of melatonin. At the same time, a quiet environment can allow people to have a peaceful sleep. So when sleeping, try to close the curtains to create a good sleeping environment for yourself. Never choose to play with mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time before going to bed. After playing with mobile phones, you will become more excited, which is easy to cause insomnia and other problems.

2. Develop good eating habits

Bad habits such as alcohol, coffee, smoking and eating stimulant foods will affect sleep. If you find yourself always suffering from insomnia, you can eat some foods that soothe the nerves and help you sleep before going to bed. Common milk and honey are suitable for eating before going to bed. These foods have the effect of conditioning the body, soothing the nerves and helping you sleep. When the brain is in a relaxed state, the quality of sleep can be improved.

3. Maintain proper exercise

Some people work less during the day and their bodies do not consume much energy, so the body does not get tired. This makes it difficult for them to fall asleep every night. Therefore, one hour before going to bed, you can do some exercise to consume physical energy and make the body tired, which will help you sleep.

4. Release stress regularly

Insomnia is also closely related to stress. If you are always in a tense state and cannot relax when you sleep at night, your sleep will become shallow and you will be easily awakened, which has a great impact on your body. If you want to have a good sleep, you must relax before going to bed. You can listen to soothing music, soak your feet, or read a book. You must pay attention to a slow pace of life before going to bed, which can slow down the brain nerves and promote sleep.

5. Pay attention to find out the cause

If you find yourself suffering from frequent insomnia, you should find out the cause in time and understand whether it is pathological or physiological. Only by finding out the cause can you take the right approach to improve it. If frequent insomnia is caused by a disease, in this case you need to cure the disease from the source. Only by controlling the source of the disease can you prevent your sleep quality from being affected. #清风计划##青云计划##超能健康团#
