In an era without electric lights, there would be no such thing as staying up late or not getting enough sleep. Light creates more activity time for us, but it also deprives us of sleep time. We are supposed to live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. After the sun goes down, "melatonin", which has the ability to prevent aging and suppress tumors, begins to be secreted at night, and "growth hormone", which helps repair the body, is only secreted during sleep. In other words, sleep deprivation hinders the secretion of melatonin and growth hormone, thereby reducing body functions and putting the body at risk of various diseases.
We all know that smoking and drinking are one of the causes of cancer, but in fact, "irregular work and rest" or "lack of sleep" are also one of the main causes of cancer. For example, women who work night shifts are at twice the risk of breast cancer; men who work shifts are three times more likely to develop prostate cancer than the average male office worker. I know that it is common for modern people to stay up late and not be able to go to bed regularly, but what needs further thinking is that if such a sleep schedule lasts for a long time, it will indeed weaken the body's resistance to suppressing cancer cells. Do you still think that it doesn't matter if you don't get enough sleep? !
Edison is harming your health
Women’s health is closely related to their monthly menstrual period. In many cases, women can understand their physical condition through menstruation. According to statistics, the age of first menstruation for girls has a downward trend. You may guess: because the nutrition is better now, they mature earlier! Is this really the case? !
It is a fact that modern people eat more abundantly, and there is another very important reason, that is, bedtime is getting later and later! In addition to dealing with academic pressure, tutoring at night, or heavy scrolling on mobile phones until midnight, not sleeping like this, and being exposed to light all the time, prevents melatonin from being secreted properly. However, this sleep hormone, melatonin, is only secreted at night. In addition to helping to fall asleep and resist aging, it can also help inhibit sexual maturation in the body.
While exposed to light, it will also increase the secretion of estrogen. Estrogen, also known as estrogen, has the function of promoting the development of sexual organs and ovulation. When estrogen is insufficient, supplementing it with hormone therapy will increase the risk of breast cancer. The younger the age at first menstruation, the higher the risk of breast cancer, because the period of exposure to estrogen is longer.
To put it simply, staying up late not only suppresses melatonin, but also causes estrogen to surge, which of course increases the risk of breast cancer! I hope everyone can care about their sleep and develop living habits with correct sleeping methods. Even if they don’t deliberately pursue health, just sleeping well will naturally lead to a healthy body!
