How's your sleep quality? Don't rush to draw a conclusion!
To enjoy truly good sleep, you must meet the three conditions of "sleeping well", "sleeping enough" and "sleeping regularly" at the same time. As long as one of the conditions is not up to standard, it will be difficult to have high-quality sleep.
The body will sense the problem of poor sleep in advance. Sleep not only helps to relieve fatigue and restore physical strength, but also involves important functions such as body cell repair, muscle growth and brain waste clearance. All these processes are completed during sleep.
Sleep problems may cause harm to the body. If you often have these problems, you should consider adjusting your sleep habits.
Deterioration of skin condition
Many people who stay up late have the same feeling that when they don't get enough sleep, their skin tends to become worse, looking dull and sallow, and even prone to getting pimples. If this goes on for a long time, it may also accelerate skin aging.
Memory decline
The brain needs to rest through sleep. Often staying up late will keep the brain excited at night. During the day, the brain will become slack, resulting in problems such as dizziness, lack of concentration and memory decline.
Prone to getting sick
Lack of sleep will weaken the function of the immune system and reduce the body's ability to resist viruses, so people are more likely to fall ill. Think about it carefully. Are there always people around you catching a cold while you are never affected?
Prone to gaining weight
Lack of sleep will stimulate appetite, causing people to eat too much before going to bed, which leads to fat accumulation. In addition, lack of sleep will also reduce the secretion of "leptin", making people lose their easy-to-keep-slim physique and be more likely to gain weight.
To correct these bad sleep habits:
Don't force yourself to fall asleep. When you toss and turn in bed and have difficulty falling asleep, forcing yourself to fall asleep will be counterproductive. Forcing yourself to fall asleep will not only fail to extend the sleep time, but also reduce the sleep quality and even aggravate insomnia. If you can't fall asleep within half an hour, you can get up to read a book or do some relaxing exercises, and then go to sleep when you feel sleepy.
Control the length of your afternoon nap. An afternoon nap can restore physical strength and make your working state better in the afternoon. However, if the nap lasts longer than 30 minutes, you may enter deep sleep, resulting in dizziness and a swollen head, which will affect your sleep at night.
Don't make up for sleep on weekends. Many young people stay up late on weekdays and expect to make up for the lack of sleep on weekends, but this approach is not advisable. Disrupting the rhythm of the biological clock will not only cause endocrine disorders but also may lead to diseases.
You should develop the habit of having a regular schedule to keep the biological clock working well and ensure sufficient and high-quality sleep.
