Don't stay at home and sleep in at this time

How do you choose to spend your weekend rest? I believe many people's answer is to sleep in and spend most of the day in dreams. This does feel good, but it is not good for your health. What are the harmful effects of sleeping in for a long time on the weekends on your body? Today I will summarize them.

1. Endocrine disorders

Sleeping in will disrupt your biological clock rhythm. The normal endocrine system and activities of various organs in the human body follow a certain diurnal pattern. This biological law regulates various human physiological activities, making people energetic during the day and sleep well at night. If you have a regular life during normal times but sleep in during the holidays, it will disrupt your body's biological clock rhythm and cause abnormalities in your endocrine hormones. If you do this for a long time, you will feel listless and depressed.

2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction

Sleeping in will affect gastrointestinal function. Breakfast is usually eaten around 7 o'clock, when the food from dinner has been basically digested and the stomach and intestines will contract due to hunger. People who like to sleep in would rather be hungry than get up early to eat breakfast. Over time, they are prone to chronic gastritis, ulcers, etc., and are also prone to indigestion.

3. Stroke and diabetes

After a seven-and-a-half-year survey of more than 90,000 women aged 50 to 79, American researchers found that those who slept more than nine hours a day had a 70% increased risk of stroke compared to those who slept seven hours, and sleep duration was an independent factor that increased the risk of stroke. According to experts, the blood viscosity of the elderly is relatively high. If they sleep too long, the blood viscosity will increase, and the increased blood viscosity can easily induce cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke.

According to relevant experts, a study has also shown that sleeping too long may also induce diabetes. The survey found that people who sleep 7-8 hours a day are the healthiest. If you sleep less than 6 hours, your risk of diabetes will increase by about 2 times; if you sleep more than 8 hours, your risk of diabetes will increase by more than 3 times.

4. The more you sleep, the lazier you become, and your intelligence decreases

Experts explain that most people believe that they should sleep more to eliminate fatigue. In fact, the idea of ​​gaining health by increasing sleep time is completely wrong. People who sleep too long will become lazy, weak, and even their intelligence will decline. After a night's rest, muscles and joints will become relaxed. Moving immediately after waking up can increase muscle tension and blood supply to muscles, putting bones and muscle tissue in a state of repair. At the same time, it can eliminate metabolic products accumulated in the muscles during the night, which is beneficial for muscle tissue to resume its motion state. People who often sleep in will feel weak legs, lumbar and sacral discomfort, and general weakness after getting up because their muscle tissues miss the opportunity to exercise. The sleep center of people who sleep in is in an excited state for a long time, and other nerve centers have been suppressed for too long, so their function of recovering activity becomes relatively slow. As a result, they feel groggy and listless all day long, and their intelligence may even decline.

5. Respiratory, heart and digestive diseases

Experts say that the air in the bedroom is the most polluted in the morning. Even if the windows are half-closed, some air is still not circulated. The unclean air contains a large amount of bacteria, viruses, carbon dioxide and dust, which affect the respiratory tract's ability to resist diseases. For those who sleep too long and stay indoors for a long time, they usually do little exercise, and the polluted air in the bedroom makes them prone to symptoms such as colds and coughs.

When people move, their heart rate speeds up, myocardial contractility strengthens, and cardiac output increases. When a person rests, the heart is in a resting state, and the heart rate, contractility, and blood output decrease. If you sleep too much, it will disrupt the rhythm of your heart's rest and exercise. The heart will rest again and again, which will eventually make its contractions weak. The slightest movement will cause your heartbeat to become irregular, and you will feel panic and fatigue. In addition, if you sleep too much, you will not be able to eat on time, and the gastrointestinal tract will experience hunger-related peristalsis, disrupting the secretion of gastric juice and affecting digestive function.

Sleeping in can indeed relieve the physical discomfort caused by work, but doing so in the long run cannot fundamentally solve the sub-health condition of the body. From this we can see that sleeping in often is not good for our physical health. We can go out for a walk and exercise occasionally.
