Sleep well and make money

I saw two videos online and was horrified.

In the emergency room, several doctors took turns to perform chest compressions for the 21-year-old patient. Seeing that the situation was not optimistic, they finally used a pacemaker, blood purification, ventilator and other comprehensive treatments to bring back the girl who was on the brink of life and death.

The girl was admitted to the ICU because she stayed up late and had irregular work and rest, which caused a cold for a month and induced fulminant myocarditis.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and now he is out of danger and is slowly recovering.

I just broke a cold sweat for the girl, and here is another more outrageous news.

38-year-old Wang Huaizeng worked for 10 days without sleep because he wanted to buy a car. When he realized something was wrong with his body and started to catch up on sleep, he slept for two days and two nights without waking up, so he was sent to the house by his family. Emergency room.

When the doctor asked his father about the situation, he couldn't help being shocked by Wang Huaizeng's crazy behavior, and repeatedly asked:

"What? How many days without sleep? 10 days, 10 days without sleep."

Subsequently, a number of experts came to consult Wang Huaizeng, and he was finally diagnosed with "sleep apnea syndrome".

This is an extremely dangerous sleep disorder, and if it is not discovered by the family in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

And Wang Huaizeng's father signed the heaviest name in his life in the critical illness notice.

Fortunately, after 3 days of rescue, he finally woke up.

Perhaps, making money is the dream of every young person, but the price of chasing dreams is unacceptable.

At the same time, CCTV also reminded netizens that the virus does not necessarily cause the disease to enter the body, but if the sleep time for 3 consecutive nights is less than 7-8 hours, the immune function of our body will be reduced by half, so it is easy to exploit the virus.

When we are healthy, we spend it recklessly; when we are sick, we believe that life is actually vulnerable.

Every night you stay up, you have secretly marked the price, and you have to pay for it with a healthy body sooner or later.

So ah, to sleep well, health is our most important wealth.

Staying up late is actually "losing money"

"I must go to bed early tonight!"

This may be the biggest lie in the world.

The modern life is fast-paced, and everyone has different reasons for staying up late. Some stay up late because of work, while others stay up late for games.

Mr. Xu from Jiangsu insists on live streaming the game after get off work every day, and it is the norm to play until two or three in the morning every night.

During the interview, Mr. Xu recalled:

"I can basically sleep for about 5 hours a day. I have to go to work during the day and have no time to broadcast live, so I can only stay up late at night."

Stay up late, stay up is time, consume life.

Due to irregular work and rest for a long time, Mr. Xu found abnormal urine test in a unit physical examination.

But he didn't pay attention, as usual, he drank when he should, and continued to play games when he should play.

Until 2017, Mr. Xu was diagnosed with malignant kidney disease and high blood pressure. He underwent dialysis three times a week, but his health was still deteriorating.

In the end, after consultation with experts, it was decided to take a kidney transplant on Mr. Xu to save his life.

There is a joke on the Internet:

"People who stay up all night don't get Alzheimer's because they don't live to old age."

Staying up late means getting yourself closer to the hospital bed and saving less.

The blogger @大西米君 told how he spent 300,000 yuan overnight.

One night, she and her friends played out all night and didn't leave until 10 a.m. the next day.

But instead of going home to rest, she went to the clinic to see her teeth.

After coming out of the clinic, she went to get her hair and nails done again...

She boiled for 40 hours without sleeping.

Later, she was sweating when she moved things, and her body started to feel wrong, but she didn't take it seriously.

In the end, the consequences of staying up late broke out:

At one o'clock in the morning, she felt extremely cold, turned off the air conditioner, and covered her body tightly with the quilt, but she was still shaking.

In addition to the hot body, the mouth was still talking nonsense, and the legs were unsteady.

When she was sent to the hospital by a friend, the index of bacteria and viruses in her blood was 500 times the normal index, and she was immediately admitted to the ICU.

At this time, she was very close to the god of death.

During her treatment in the hospital, she had to draw 8 tubes of blood every day, her whole body was covered with labels of various vital signs, and she had to eat, drink, and lax on the hospital bed. This was her daily life in the ICU.

She calculated an account, transferred from the ICU to the general ward, and spent less than 300,000 yuan from surgery to follow-up treatment.

As stated in Amusement To Die:

"It's not what we hate that destroys us, it's what we love."

Dominated by work during the day and reluctant to sleep at night.

When we indulge in "stolen" pleasures, we are also quietly overdrafting our own lives.

Staying up late and not staying up late, the difference between the face is at least 10 years old

Some time ago, the topic of "Girls born in the 90s stay up late for 10 years and get senile plaques" became a hot search, and many staying up late parties said they did not dare to stay up late.

Tang Yu, a post-90s girl, has never slept before two o'clock since the college entrance examination.

Every night I lie in bed watching Douyin, check Moments, and I can't bear to put it down until my phone is hot.

Staying up late seems to have become a habit of contemporary young people.

However, such an indulgent life was repeated every night. After a long time, Tang Yu felt that he was often fatigued. Later, spots appeared on his face. When he went to the hospital for a check, it turned out to be age spots.

In her 20s, her face was supposed to be smooth and delicate, but her long-term indulgence and staying up late made her at least 10 years older than girls of the same age.

Finally, she realized that staying up late would not only ruin her appearance, but also accelerate aging.

As long as we go to bed on time at 10:30 every night, the body will enter a normal state of detoxification and repair cells on a regular basis, which means that the body will automatically give you an advanced beauty treatment.

Sarah, 46, participated in a sleep deprivation study in an experiment in the sleep lab.

The experiment was to sleep for 8 hours and only 6 hours for 5 consecutive days, and record Sarah's facial state for comparison.

As you can see from the two photos, the sleep-deprived skin is no longer elastic, the eyes are dull and the whole person looks teens older.

And when she woke up, Sarah was still very tired. She said that because of the lack of sleep, she began to become forgetful and her memory decreased.

Sarah felt this way because her body was sending her a distress signal.

When we compress the original 8 hours of sleep to 4 hours, the problem will slowly appear.

Most of the external manifestations are hair loss, acne, and obesity.

In addition to external symptoms, the cervical spine, lumbar spine, and brain of the body have also issued warnings to us.

As Junichi Watanabe said:

"Sleep well is a real talent. Without the ability to sleep, one cannot maintain a healthy body and cannot concentrate on work."

Although not everyone needs to sleep 8 hours a day, if you don't get enough sleep for a long time, the impact on the body is more than the gain.

Normal work and rest is to make money

I watched a TED talk and was shocked:

"When the brain works at a high speed during the day, brain cells produce a lot of waste and garbage, and it enters the cerebrospinal fluid. Only during sleep does the cerebrospinal fluid flow in the brain, taking away the waste and keeping our brains clear and thinking sharp."

After listening to this passage, I understand why people do not feel full of energy after waking up at night, but are tired physically and mentally, and their minds are dizzy.

Read a sentence:

"A third of a person's life is spent in sleep.

How well this one-third lives largely determines how the other two-thirds of life looks like. "

In other words, our sleep reflects our truest quality of life.

Writing this, I remembered that I once had an unbearable state:

Two years ago, I often suffered from insomnia for a period of time. People lay in bed for a long time but could not fall asleep. Even though my eyelids were fighting, my mind was still very clear.

After finally falling asleep, the alarm clock rang again in the blink of an eye.

One day, the alarm clock rang, and I got up in a daze, because I had not fallen asleep for a long time the night before, my head was about to explode, and I couldn’t exert myself at all, and finally I stepped on my left foot and stepped on my right foot. fell to the ground.

In this way, I lay on the cold ground for a long time before I could barely stand up.

This made me realize that without making changes, my body and mind would break down very quickly, so I created a life plan for myself:

1. Get up at 7 am;

2. Take a 45-minute break after lunch;

3. Start soaking your feet in hot water at 10 pm to relax your body;

4. Go to bed before 10:30.

After two months of adjustment, my work and rest have returned to normal. Even if I work all day, I still have the energy to exercise. After the immunity is improved, I have fewer colds.

So, taking care of your body and getting sick less often means taking care of your wallet.

Now, more and more people are suffering from insomnia. The "2021 White Paper on Exercise and Sleep" says:

“Currently, more than 300 million people in China suffer from sleep disorders. Three-quarters of people can’t fall asleep until after 11pm, and nearly one-third can’t fall asleep until after 1am. Over the past year, people The overall time to fall asleep was 2-3 hours delayed, and searches for sleep problems increased by 43%.”

All living things need the adjustment of sleep.

The same is true for people. No matter how hard work is during the day, if you sleep well at night, your spirit can be restored.

Sleeping well and getting enough sleep, in addition to representing the quality of a person's sleep, nourishes our body and soul.

I saw a questionnaire on Weibo, and the results showed that only 35% of people in the country can sleep 8 hours a day.

I often hear this joke:

We stayed up the longest night, but put on the most expensive mask; during the day, we served hot tea with wolfberry, but at night we pushed the cups at the wine table for a change.

Once a good sleep becomes a habit, it gives oneself a priceless reward, including a positive working state, abundant energy, clear skin, and healthy body.

Sleeping well is the best way to improve the quality of life without spending money.

Click "Watching", and may we all have good sleep quality.
