Why do young people sleep well?

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

Many people have sleep disorders. Among them, more than three-quarters of people fall asleep after 11 o'clock in the evening, and nearly one-third do not fall asleep until after 1 o'clock in the morning.

What exactly affects our sleep?

I don't want to sleep at night, I 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 the poor quality of sleep, Kelly has been taking medications, "I have difficulty falling asleep every night, it is normal for me to sleep unsteadily, and I often have nightmares."

The result of this is the state of "groggy" the next day. She guessed that poor sleep quality is related to her habit of staying up often. "For example, yesterday, I put down my phone and realized that it was already one o'clock in the morning."

This situation is especially obvious during holidays. Kelly often falls 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 have 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 Kelly, Juliet's sleep quality is better, but she also encounters "sleep problems" from time to time.

I often suffer from insomnia when it comes to upsets. 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 get home from work, I have to cook, cook, and bring my baby. It's really too tired to 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 at work the next day and fell asleep when I was sitting." She tried to regulate her sleep, but the current effect is not great. "The time spent staying up late has been 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 following reasons: For writers, they will be more active when they are not disturbed at night; after the Internet has become 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".

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 to popularize sleep science and technology, but also the support of the sleep industry.

Kelly once bought eye masks and sound-proof earplugs to help sleep, but after trying it, she found that the effect was mediocre. "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 a doctor or related professionals.
