10 ways of sleeping will shorten your life

With the change of lifestyle, young women now have a richer nightlife. In particular, some professional women have many social engagements and often fall asleep while slightly drunk. Medical research shows that drinking alcohol before bedtime can easily lead to suffocation after falling asleep, usually about twice a night, and each suffocation lasts about 10 minutes. If this continues for a long time, people are prone to diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure.

2. Getting angry before going to bed

Being angry before going to bed will make your heart beat faster, your breathing become rapid, and your mind become overwhelmed, making it difficult to fall asleep.

3. Eat a big meal before bed

If you eat too much before going to bed, your stomach and intestines will speed up digestion, and a stomach full of food will constantly stimulate the brain. If there are excitement points in the brain, people cannot sleep peacefully, just as Chinese medicine says: "If the stomach is not in harmony, you will not sleep well."

4. Sleeping opposite each other

Some family members, such as couples, mother and children, often sleep opposite each other. This will cause one party to inhale mostly the waste gas exhaled by the other party, and the brain will lack fresh oxygen or have insufficient oxygen supply, which can also easily cause insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, fatigue, and mental depression after waking up. Because everyone's sleeping habits are different, pulling the quilt, kicking legs, snoring, etc. can easily cause the quilt to slip off, causing a cold and affecting sleep.

5. Sleeping with your shoulders exposed

Some people have the habit of exposing their shoulders outside the quilt when they sleep, but they don't know that the weather is cold in winter and the cold wind can easily invade the shoulder joints of the human body, causing stagnation of qi and blood in local meridians and joints, making it difficult to circulate, causing rheumatism, arthritis, and soreness and pain in the joints. Being attacked by wind and cold can easily cause colds, runny noses, breathing difficulties, dizziness and headaches.

6. Sleeping with makeup on

Some women, especially young women, do not remove makeup before going to bed. The cosmetics residue on the skin will clog the pores and cause sweat gland secretion disorders, which not only easily induce acne, but also damage the skin over time and accelerate the aging process.

7. Wearing a bra to sleep

Bras can protect the breasts, but wearing a bra to sleep can cause disease, especially breast tumors. Experts have found that women who wear bras for more than 17 hours a day have a risk of breast cancer that is more than 20 times higher than those who wear bras for a short time or do not wear bras at all. This is because the breasts are under pressure for a long time, lymphatic return is blocked, and harmful substances are retained in the breasts.

8. Wearing accessories to sleep

Some women do not have the habit of taking off their jewelry before sleeping, which is very dangerous. First, some ornaments are made of metal, which will wear on the skin for a long time, and may cause chronic absorption and even accumulation poisoning (such as aluminum poisoning).

Secondly, some luminous accessories will produce radium radiation. Although the amount is small, long-term accumulation can lead to adverse consequences. Thirdly, wearing accessories to sleep will hinder the body's circulation and be detrimental to metabolism, which is why the local skin wearing accessories is prone to aging.

9. Falling asleep while watching TV

Because it seems so natural to fall asleep watching TV in your living room, many of us watch TV in bed in the hope that it will help us fall asleep. But if we did, we would wake up soon. This creates a vicious cycle that reinforces poor sleep. Over the years I have had many patients suffer from insomnia due to this condition. It is recommended to move the TV out of the bedroom and stop watching TV on the bed. The bed can only be associated with sleeping.

10. Drink tea before bed

Tea contains substances such as caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and make people excited. Drinking tea before bed, especially strong tea, will make it harder to fall asleep.
