Is depressive insomnia dangerous?

Depressive insomnia is a mental illness with an increasing incidence. Patients often feel weak, easily fatigued, and even suffer from insomnia. This has seriously affected people's physical health and normal life. However, in real life, many patients do not understand the harm of the disease at first after discovering that they have symptoms of depressive insomnia, thus delaying the best time for diagnosis and treatment. Next, we will introduce to you the dangers of depressive insomnia. We hope that patients can face the disease and take timely treatment to recover from the disease as soon as possible.

First, insomnia can lead to a decrease in human immunity

The secret is that sleep produces a sleep factor called muramic acid in the human body, which can increase the number of white blood cells, activate macrophages, and enhance the body's immune function, thereby effectively preventing bacteria and viruses from invading. The decline in sleep quality in adolescents will directly affect their physical growth and development, premature aging, and shorten their lifespan. Insomnia reduces the body's resistance, reduces physical fitness, accelerates aging, causes a variety of diseases, shortens a person's lifespan, and affects work, study, and life.

Second, long-term insomnia will accelerate the aging of the human body and shorten life span.

Studies have found that the decline in deep sleep will lead to a significant decrease in the secretion of growth hormone, and the amount of growth hormone secretion determines the degree and speed of human aging. From 10 pm to 2 am is the time when cell necrosis and regeneration are most active in the body. Lack of sleep at this time will affect cell metabolism.

Third, it affects work, study and life

Insomnia often leads to daytime lack of energy, lack of concentration, dizziness, memory loss, decreased thinking ability, reduced work efficiency, nervousness and irritability, poor relationships with people around, depression, boredom, and even pessimism and world-weariness in severe cases. People need to get rest and energy through sleep: if you don't sleep well at night, your brain is prone to ischemia and hypoxia, which accelerates the death of brain cells, causing cerebral cortex dysfunction, autonomic nervous system disorders, and in severe cases, neurosis.
