Is staying up late harmful to your health?

Nowadays, with the enrichment of urban nightlife, more and more night owls have emerged. Many young people hold the idea that since they are young, it doesn’t matter if they stay up late, but they don’t know that staying up late will cause great harm to the body. Because staying up late will gradually weaken our immunity and cause abnormalities in various aspects of the body, such as acne, getting angry, insomnia and nightmares. Next, let’s take a closer look at the harm of staying up late to the body.

1. Ophthalmologists say

Nowadays, many people stay up late and lie down playing with their mobile phones. Staring at the screen for a long time reduces the number of times they blink, which is very harmful to the eyes. Even for people with good eyesight, if they often stay up late and play with their mobile phones while lying down, it will cause diseases such as glaucoma and dry eyes; even if you play with your mobile phone while lying down for a short time, it will affect your sleep.

2. Psychiatrists say this

For people who stay up late for a long time, their emotions will be more nervous and uneasy than normal people, and their mental state will also become abnormal. In other words, the longer people stay up late, the more likely they are to become anxious.

3. Cardiologists say this

For people who often stay up late, staying up late not only puts a burden on the heart, blood pressure, and heart rate, but also easily induces myocardial infarction and stroke.

4. Nutritionists say this

There is a saying on the Internet that "if you stay up late, you need to eat more food to reduce the fatigue caused by staying up late", but this is wrong.

Because staying up late to eat will affect the secretion of hormones, which is more harmful to the body, and will also damage the stomach and intestines, inducing constipation and stomach problems.

So try not to eat when you stay up late, and go to bed when it’s time to go to bed.

If you want to “not stay up late”, you need to do the following:

1. As the saying goes, "eat a good breakfast, eat a full lunch, and eat less for dinner", try to eat less for dinner, and don't eat three hours before going to bed, because eating three hours before going to bed can easily affect sleep;

2. Before going to bed, be sure to keep your mobile phone or other electronic devices away from your bed, which will make it easier for you to fall asleep;

3. It is best to take a hot bath 2 hours before going to bed, which can relax your body and mind and make it easier to fall asleep;

4. Be sure to maintain a good mood at night and don’t let other things affect your mood, because your mood will also have a certain impact on falling asleep.
