If you love to do something while sleeping, you will definitely become a fool

Some people like to sleep with a blanket covering them, which is a bad habit because it is very harmful to health. Surveys show that after a long period of time, it will cause shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, mental fatigue, etc. It is especially dangerous to sleep with your head covered in the summer, because the carbon dioxide concentration is high. Keeping your head relatively cool is conducive to improving sleep and sleep quality.

Why can't you sleep with your head covered?

When people sleep, the various organs in the body are still active, needing to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The oxygen people breathe in and the carbon dioxide in their blood are exchanged in the lungs, and then the blood delivers the fresh oxygen to various organs of the body, allowing them to function normally and coordinate with each other, making the body naturally full of energy.

When you sleep with your head covered, the supply of oxygen will be limited by the obstruction of the quilt. The oxygen in the quilt will decrease as the number of breaths increases, while the carbon dioxide will increase. The blood that should carry oxygen carries too much carbon dioxide, and your organs do not get enough oxygen and cannot function normally. You will naturally feel listless when you wake up the next day. After a long time, it will cause shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, mental fatigue, etc.

Sleeping with your head covered not only damages the brain, but is also harmful to the respiratory system. Studies have shown that when people sleep, their respiratory tract can expel 149 harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, and their skin pores can expel 171 chemicals. Even a healthy person can expel nearly 10 billion bacteria and viruses through breathing, coughing, etc. in one night. If you bury your head in the quilt, you are very likely to be infected by these harmful substances and pathogens, which may induce respiratory inflammation, skin diseases, etc.

How to correct a wrong sleeping position

From the perspective of Western medicine, keeping the head relatively cool helps improve sleep. If you cover your head, not only will your head heat up, but the oxygen in the quilt will become less and less, making it difficult to achieve a good sleep. In order to get a good rest, it is best to stick to the correct sleeping position.

Sleeping in the supine position is not conducive to muscle relaxation and is more likely to rest on the chest, which can easily cause nightmares. Sleeping on your back is more likely to compress the chest, which has a great impact on your breathing and heartbeat. Sleeping on the right side is the most scientific sleeping position. It protects the heart from being easily compressed, allows for smooth breathing, and helps empty the stomach.

Family life guide: Summer is hot and easy to breed bacteria. Keeping the bed clean can not only provide a good sleeping environment, but also a good mood. When sleeping, maintain good humidity and temperature and have good ventilation conditions. In summer, it is better to sleep on a straw mat carefully woven from natural herbs, or a bamboo mat made from China's unique porcelain bamboo and moso bamboo, or a cool pillow made of bamboo and other materials. There is basically no risk of over-exercise for children, as long as they do not get too tired the next day. Do relaxation exercises after exercise, such as jogging for a while, and pay attention to drinking water during exercise.
