Nowadays, it has become the wish of many people to have a good sleep. Due to various reasons, more than 300 million people in China have different degrees of sleep disorders.
There are many reasons for poor sleep. Stress, disease, age and even various external conditions all affect your sleep quality.
Recently, the authoritative medical journal "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" published a new study - the sweeter you eat, the more likely you are to lose sleep!
The sweeter you eat, why the more prone to insomnia?
Researchers from Columbia University in the United States surveyed the relevant data and diet diaries of 53,069 women who participated in the American Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study. The data showed that the higher the dietary glycemic index, the greater the risk of insomnia.
Among them, the women with the highest GI had an 11% increase in the risk of insomnia, and the risk of insomnia was further increased by excessive use of foods with high sugar content and refined grains. For women who ate more vegetables and fruits, the incidence of insomnia decreased by 16%.
When the body's blood sugar rises rapidly, the body will release insulin, leading to a drop in blood sugar, leading to an increase in hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which interfere with sleep.
In addition to diet, these factors will also destroy your sleep
In fact, in addition to diet, there are many factors that affect people's sleep. For example:
1. Looking at cell phones before going to bed
Mobile phone has become an indispensable thing for modern people. In addition to eating and sleeping, many people watch around the mobile phone every day, especially playing with the mobile phone before going to bed. The harm is that it is easy for you to miss the sleep time.
Cell phone screen light is more likely to damage the eyes, and the brain is also in an excited state, unable to enter sleep. As a result, it can't get up the next day. In the long run, it will fall into a vicious circle. It can't sleep at night, can't get up during the day, and the biological clock is in disorder. The body can't get a good rest and recovery, so the physical condition is poor, and the immunity will decline.
2. Turn on the light when you sleep
Because the human body will keep secreting a substance to promote sleep at night, the more this substance is released in the dark environment.
If the light is always on and the environment is on, it will affect the production of this substance, and then affect sleep. After a long time, immunity will also decline.
3. Emotional impact before going to bed
Many people may watch some books, movies, or chat before going to bed. If they see or chat about the plot that will make people emotional, it will have a greater impact on brain waves and mood fluctuations, which will seriously affect sleep.
Especially before going to bed love sad, angry people, the brain will release some special substances, which can reduce the body's immunity.
If your insomnia has such a situation, please seek medical attention in time
There are many types of insomnia, most of which are accidental, but if you have insomnia of this type, you'd better see a doctor in time and consult a psychiatrist or psychotherapist of relevant specialty.
For example, always unable to sleep at night, leading to the next day of low spirits, and intermittent for up to a month, or a week in a row;
For example, wake up before dawn, or wake up just after dawn, can no longer sleep, leading to no good sleep, affect the state of the day;
For example, I always feel that I have been dreaming all the time, and the more I sleep, the more tired I am, which affects my daily work the next day, lasting for a week or a month intermittently.
In a word, if "poor sleep" still affects daytime life, leading to a serious decline in work efficiency and quality of life, then you'd better pay attention to this problem and seek medical treatment in time.
I wish you all a good sleep tonight!
