According to experts, sleep problems and human health and life are closely linked. Long-term lack of sleep not only leads to obesity, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases, cause cancer. But in our country, people often sleep problems seriously, and it is a misunderstanding, so rarely go to the hospital. Experts said that people must be to a better awareness of the importance of sleep, sleep problems should not be overlooked.

Lack of sleep can cause cancer

Recently presented the American Association for Cancer Research-Poll that sleep on the incidence of cancer have a big influence. This conclusion is examined in the study of women in Maryland after 5968, made they found that less than 7 hours of sleep a night for women as active exercise, sufficient sleep more than 47% of women. But how sleep affects the incidence of cancer is not proven.

“This is a preliminary study, but can be such a mechanism.” Peking University People’s Hospital, Professor, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Sleep Research Society, said Han Fang, “lack of sleep can lead to decreased immunity cause the body to show animals that completely deprived of sleep a week of small animals, small animals by immune impairment caused, died of the infection. people in extreme fatigue, lack of sleep, also susceptible to cold. long-term lack of sleep impairs the immune system is easy to escape the immune cells Ershi killing of cancer cells.

Han Fang believes that the prevalence of cancer is higher now, although many attributed to environmental pollution, but the modern way of life of sleep-factors are also important. By the last decades of the development trend of sleep from time to 1-2 hours, including accelerating the pace of life has been reduced, the night life led to more sleep time, causing sleep rhythm disturbance caused by jet lag, various sleep disorders like insomnia, reduced quality of sleep caused by snoring.

Health hazards of sleep disorders

“According to the available clinical and experimental research data, international sleep disorders in more than 80 kinds of types of sleep disorders, the most common sleep disorders are divided insomnia and sleep disorders associated with breathing.” PLA Air Force General Hospital Sleep Wang, director of the smile, said: “A global survey of sleep, our populationಭ.4%% of sleep disorders, sleep disorders 28%%, 17.4%% of the suspect has insomnia.”

Wang smile that since 2003 some areas such as Shanghai, Chengde, and so is not a survey of sleep problems in China optimistic. Sleep may be as a lifestyle, but it’s not on personal preferences and may decide it is an ecological, genetic, health and other way of life. Sleep time is to be kept short to physical and mental health has become more difficult. Studies have shown that â…¡ Long-short sleep duration and obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure is closely related to metabolic syndrome.

Han Fang believes that increasing the pressure of work and employment, further increasing the economic pressure on, in this case, the people of poor quality sleep. ”A lot of data shows that Chinese people’s time to sleep reduces sleep quality is declining.”

Lack of attention to low attendance

Former Chairman of the Chinese Sleep Research Society, said Xi-Zhen Huang, adequate sleep, balanced diet and adequate exercise are the three internationally recognized standards of health, but the people the awareness of the importance of sleep is not obvious enough.

“In the hospital, the outpatient treatment of sleep disorders are deeply troubled by some of the patients, but not detect more mild or moderate sleep disorders, the role of sleep disturbances.”Han Fang said.

“Sleep medicine in the United States, the most developed, the situation is relatively better one.”Han Fang said, “but in our country, because people are relatively low health awareness, little knowledge about sleep, the situation is worse than the United States.” He said China still has not the establishment of sleep medicine topics, very few are not in the university courses in the relevant education and knowledge, many Chinese doctors high. Meanwhile, people expect misunderstanding of the important factors, not as sleep problems, that sickness, that snoring is sleep Hong, do not know that exactly the opposite.

Wang is in the forefront of clinical smile on such a case: a 70-year-old retired cadre, since three years, often during sleep and dream in connection with behavioral disturbances such as screaming, hitting, Shimoji, fall out of bed and so on, has but had not been treated. The reason is justified in patients with normal and humble, ashamed to treatment, not knowing where to go for medical treatment. Wang smile, knowing that many of our hospitals specialized sleep disorders center, a sick man is not where they go for medical treatment.

Chorus in “more sleep” misunderstanding

Face for work, study and strength due to lack of sleep and other reasons, often use the getaway “feel up” approach to make. But this is an effective way? Han Fang said that the appropriate sleep “more” can, as on the human body a kind of “compensation” will help restore vitality to be considered, but sleep is not possible, people have to sleep every day is 7-8 hours to many “more sleep” is a kind of sleep is ineffective. And changes in sleep time per week that their own biological clock can not adapt to affect physical and mental health.

Some office workers to rush, often on a bus and sleep more. “ In return, Han Fang holds that this practice is undesirable, because people just “sleep” before completely eliminate fatigue.shakes, as in the car, whistling interference of various factors make it difficult to give a deep sleep, sleep can not not be ruled out, but his spine injured when the brakes slightly stiff neck and other symptoms.

Han Fang said that the lives of the people, considers himself the right of the biological clock followed to ensure the physical and mental health. Therefore adopt good habits in general, try to avoid staying up longer. He suggested that adequate arrangements for rest, adequate sleep in order to protect time, warm bath before bed to fatigue, relieve hot foot bath can also be used, before going to bed drink a glass of warm milk, the proper conduct of the exercise one Class jogging or light physical work in short, to improve sleep quality is the top priority.
