Chinanews client, Beijing, February 6th (Reporter Shangguanyun) "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset", this sentence is often used to describe a kind of ordinary and regular life.

But in the fast-paced modern society, it is often not so easy to do.

For some people, a good sleep may be a luxury.

　　Recently, #超300亿人有睡扰# was listed on the hot search, and the survey showed that more than 300 million people in our country have sleep disorders. Among them, more than 3/4 of the people fall asleep after 11 pm, and nearly 1/3 of them suffer. I didn't fall asleep until after 1 am.

　　What exactly affects our sleep?

Don't want to sleep at night, don't want to wake up in the morning

　　For many young people, staying up late may not be a rare thing.

　　Recently, because of poor sleep quality, Zhu Min after 90 has been taking medicine for conditioning. “I have difficulty falling asleep every night. Unstable sleep is the norm, and I often have nightmares.”

　　The result of this is the state of "drowsy" the next day.

She guessed that poor sleep quality is related to her habit of staying up late. "For example, yesterday, I put down my mobile phone and realized that it was already one o'clock in the morning."

　　This situation is especially obvious during holidays. Zhu Min often gets into the cycle of "don't want to sleep at night and don't want to wake up in the morning". "Anyway, I don't need to get up early the next day. I always feel that I have a lot of time to spend."

　　"The deeper reason for staying up late may be psychological. If you feel that you don't sleep, that time is mine." It was quiet that night, and the WeChat group's message prompts no longer sounded, and her mood would be very relaxed.

　　She understands the harm of staying up late or lack of sleep, but it is difficult to control herself, "I also want to fall asleep earlier, but at night I am very clear-headed and can't fall asleep even after exhausting my means. I think insomnia is more troublesome to humans than baldness."

"Reluctant to end this day"

　　Compared with Zhu Min, Liu Fang's sleep quality is better, but she also encounters "sleep problems" from time to time.

　　"When you encounter troubles, you often suffer from insomnia. When it is particularly serious, it can last until the next day." Family chores, work pressure...These problems have become the reasons why she can't sleep.

　　Sometimes, she spontaneously chooses to "not sleep at night", "I don't have time for myself during the day, and I usually need to work. When I go home from work, I have to cook and cook with my baby. It's really too tired and I don't have time to rest."

　　Only when the baby is asleep and all the housework is done, Liu Fang feels that he has a period of time to be alone. It is often after nine or ten in the evening, chasing dramas and watching the news, always reluctant to end the day.

　　"As I get older, my body will protest against lack of sleep. One day after staying up late, I stayed sleepy the next day at work and fell asleep when I was sitting." She tried to regulate her sleep, but the current effect is not great. "The time to stay up late is reduced. But because of emotional reasons, I still suffer from insomnia."

"Sleep economy" is hot

　　There seem to be thousands of reasons to stay up late.

Someone once summarized the reasons as follows: For writers, they will be more active when they are not disturbed at night; after the Internet is popular, they can follow dramas and watch live broadcasts as they like... If they want to pass the time, they have more choices.

　　But this often brings a series of problems to people's health.

After finding that sleep is disturbed, many people began to seek ways to improve their sleep, even using sleep devices, sleep aid sprays, etc., which gradually gave birth to the "sleep economy".

　　The "2018-2023 China Sleep Medical Market Analysis and Investment Prospects Research Report" pointed out that the scale of China's improved sleep industry market in 2017 was about 279.7 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), of which 12.8 billion sleep health products and 13.4 billion sleep drugs , Sleep equipment supplies 250 billion yuan, and sleep services 3.5 billion yuan.

　　"Due to social competition, work pressure and the accelerated aging of the population, sleep disorders have become a serious social problem. How can we sleep well? Not only must sleep science and technology be popularized, but also the support of the sleep industry is needed." Huang Zhili, Chairman of the China Sleep Research Association Said earlier.

　　Zhu Min once bought eye masks and soundproof earplugs to aid sleep, but after trying it, he found that the effect was average. "The eye mask is more useful. At least after wearing it, you can put down your phone."

　　"The same sleep aid product may not be effective for everyone. The popular sleep aid products on the market need to be used under the guidance of doctors or related professionals." In this regard, Peng Zhiping, director of the Science Popularization Department of the Chinese Sleep Research Association, said.

How to improve sleep quality?

　　So, in daily life, how can we improve the quality of sleep?

　　Peng Zhiping explained that sleep disorders generally refer to the normal rhythmic alternation of sleep and wakefulness, abnormal sleep volume and sleep quality, or the occurrence of certain clinical symptoms during sleep, such as reduced sleep or excessive sleep, dream walking disorder Wait.

　　"The hazards of sleep disorders are obvious: reduce work and study efficiency, cause aging, obesity, memory decline, etc." He also mentioned that if you stay up late often, it will definitely be harmful to your body, causing hair loss, metabolic disorders... and biological clock disorders It will reduce the body's own immunity and be susceptible to diseases.

　　Previously, some experts have given sleep advice, such as formulating a schedule and following it to maintain a regular sleep rhythm; adult sleep time should be kept at about 7 hours, too short or too long is not good.

　　"Usually, we can try to develop a good work and rest time and establish a scientific understanding of sleep; eat a light dinner and maintain a good mentality." Peng Zhiping suggested that you can also listen to soft music before going to bed. Calm down; another is to use comfortable bedding to ensure a good sleeping environment.
