As the saying goes, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", including the time of three meals a day, is the law of life left by our ancestors in practice, which is the principle of human adaptation to the environment. Often staying up late will seriously damage your health. However, because the workload is too large or the game is too crazy, night owls have become a big force, and it is impossible to go to bed early anyway. And students' homework is getting heavier and heavier, and they are always regarded as staying up late.
Because human adrenocortical hormone and growth hormone are secreted during sleep at night. The former is secreted before dawn and has the function of promoting human carbohydrate metabolism and ensuring muscle development; The latter occurs after falling asleep, which not only promotes the growth and development of teenagers, but also delays the aging of middle-aged and elderly people. So the best time to sleep in a day is from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
People who stay up late may not know that the harm of staying up late has been recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing".
1. 23:00-1:00 is the "on-duty" time of the main generator, the time when the heart and kidney intersect, and there is no rest to produce the phenomenon of "yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity".
2. Ugly 1:00-3:00 is the "duty" time for the main collection of liver and blood. People who often stay up late are "prone to anger".
3. Yin Shi 3:00-5:00 is the "duty" time for the master to control the lung. The essence is wasted seriously, and it is the catalyst for premature aging. The old people are easily awakened at this time, which is the reason of aging and physical decline.
4. At 5:00 am to 7:00 am, the "supervisor" time of the large intestine should defecate and detoxify. People who often stay up late sleep at this time, and the poison that should be detoxified has not been detoxified. People who often stay up late have two kinds of stool: constipation or loose stool.
5. 7:00-9:00 am is the time when the stomach is "in charge". It should be the time when "taking yin and tonifying yang" should belong to the yang stomach and spleen to transport yin food. People who stay up late will lose their stomach while sleeping.
6. It is 9:00-11:00 am when the spleen is "in charge". The spleen converts the beneficial substances in the food ingested by the stomach into nutritious small intestine for absorption, and the waste is delivered to the large intestine for excretion. Eating or not eating food during this period will damage the spleen. So most people who often stay up late are "grumpy"
