Sleep accounts for nearly one-third of a person's life,and its quality is closely related to human health.In daily life,there are some misconceptions about sleep that are also worth our attention.
Myth 1:Sleeping while watching TV is a bad habit for both healthy individuals and those with sleep problems.If you feel sleepy,go to bed and don't do anything unrelated to sleep.
Myth 2:Drinking alcohol helps with sleep.Alcohol can help us fall asleep to some extent,but it can damage our sleep quality,disrupt normal sleep structure,and easily lead to early awakening,as well as other sleep problems.
Myth 3:Vigorous exercise before bedtime is beneficial for sleep.If we engage in vigorous exercise before bedtime,it can enhance the activity of our sympathetic nervous system,causing the brain to become overly excited and affecting the process of falling asleep.
Myth 4:Insomnia at night,sleep deprivation during the day,and sleep deprivation during the day can affect the body's normal biological clock,increase sleep threshold,and lead to continued poor sleep at night.So,even if you don't sleep all night,don't catch up on sleep during the day.You can engage in some sports activities appropriately and save your sleep for the night.
Myth 5:Snoring can cause headaches in the morning,drowsiness during the day,lack of concentration,and other problems for snorers who sleep soundly at night.It also affects the quality of sleep for their partner.Long term snoring can lead to various physical problems such as hypertension,abnormal blood sugar,cognitive impairment,metabolic disorders,and indigestion,which must be taken seriously.
Myth 6:Enduring sleep disorders for a long time without realizing the need to seek professional treatment for them not only leads to mental exhaustion,dizziness,and emotional loss,but also may develop into depression and self abandonment,leading to pessimistic thoughts.At the same time,long-term sleep disorders can also seriously affect physical health,especially for people with basic cardiovascular and chronic diseases,improving sleep disorders must be taken seriously.If self-regulation is not successful and the effect is not significant,it is necessary to seek the help of a professional doctor from a legitimate medical institution.
