Reading Hearts | When I sleep, what are our bodies doing?

Medical Guidance: Professor Li Yan

One -third of human life is spent in sleep. Many people hope that they don't need to sleep so much, so that more time can be used to arrange work, life and fun. Can the sleep time be easily compressed? First of all, let's take everyone to take a look. When we sleep, what are our bodies doing?

01

Save energy

The reduction of various activities during sleep and enhanced synthetic metabolism can help energy storage. A sufficient and quality sleep is a necessary condition for the next day.

02

Promote metabolic products discharge

In fact, people are still working when they are asleep. Sleeping not only makes us feel refreshing, but also improves our other skills. When sleeping, the cerebrospinal fluid is constantly exchanged in the brain, which can take away metabolic waste in the meal cell gap. It can be imagined that there is a cleaner living in our brain, responsible for cleaning during night sleep.

03

Activate immune function

Sleep is indispensable for maintaining normal physiological activities. If we do not sleep, the immune system cannot work normally. Sleep also plays an important role in keeping the brain dynamic balance. Many people often doze off and tired when they are infected, because the human body needs to eliminate the pathogen and repair the body during sleep.

04

Promote growth and development function

A large amount of hormones will be secreted during deep sleep, so good sleep is the cornerstone of growth and development, which is especially important for teenagers. Therefore, if you want to grow and go to bed early, sleep and sleep. Studies abroad have found that early baby sleep structures have a predictive effect on future nervous system development, indicating that sleep has an important role in nerve development.

05

Enhance learning memory

After entering the sleep state, the individual has a enhanced role in the study content and memory of the day, which means that sleep can make us remembers things stronger. This has a good reminder for our daily work and study. Compared with staying up late for review, accumulation and more cost -effectiveness to ensure the quality of sleep.

It can be seen that the role of sleep is not only rest, but also exerts the above -mentioned various physiological functions, and cannot be replaced by daytime functions. Sleep is a unique physiological phenomenon in the animal world, and the sleeping time required for higher animals with more complete nervous system. Long -term lack of sleep will inevitably affect the function of the day, increasing the risk of cardiovascular, endocrine and other systems, and may cause mental disorders. Therefore, do not compress the sleep time at will. If insomnia occurs, such as difficulty in falling asleep, frequent wake -up at night, hard to fall asleep early, or after waking up in the morning, it lasted more than 1 month. Please go to the Department of Psychological Sleep as soon as possible to clear the diagnosis and treat it in time.
