What are the dangers of lack of sleep for men?

Many male friends are under great pressure at work and often stay up late to work overtime. Over time, this will lead to serious lack of sleep. They may often feel dizzy and nauseous. Staying up late for a long time may also cause some physical illnesses. The following editor will introduce some diseases that may be caused to the body when male friends lack sleep for a long time due to various reasons.

Men who lack sleep for a long time may suffer from coronary heart disease. The full name of coronary heart disease is "coronary heart disease". It refers to the abnormal lipid metabolism, which causes lipids in the blood to deposit on the originally smooth lining of the arteries. Some porridge-like lipid substances accumulate in the lining of the arteries to form white plaques. These plaques gradually increase, causing the arterial cavity to narrow, leading to heart ischemia and cardiovascular symptoms such as angina. According to expert research, men who lack sleep for a long time are likely to increase their risk of coronary heart disease. Let's take a look at why men who lack sleep are more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease.

Through ultrasound testing, researchers found that people who slept one hour less on a regular basis had their carotid artery intima-media thickened by 0.021 mm. This seemingly minor change increases their risk of coronary heart disease.

Previous studies on sleep and heart disease have confirmed that sleep is closely related to arrhythmia, sick atrial sinus syndrome, angina attacks, heart failure, and cardiac asthma attacks. 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. is usually called the dangerous "4:00 a.m." During this period, the body is in the physiological rhythm of dream sleep and "sleep-wake cycle", the sympathetic nerve excitability increases, and cardiovascular activity is unstable, which can easily lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in sudden angina and myocardial infarction.

Therefore, for people who have already suffered from coronary heart disease, scientific sleep can help prevent angina and myocardial infarction. Pay special attention to the following points. First, pay attention to health care before going to bed.

1. For dinner, eat some light food that is easier to digest and will not cause gastrointestinal burden, and have some soup to avoid increasing the burden on the heart due to overeating.

2. Avoid being too excited before going to bed, do not do high-intensity exercise, and avoid factors that cause excitement, such as drinking tea, alcohol, coffee, smoking, watching stimulating TV and reading books, etc., to keep your emotions stable.

3. When you feel you can't fall asleep, you should control your emotions and not be irritable. You can drink a moderate amount of beverage to promote sleep. Milk not only contains a biochemical substance that makes people sleepy and can promote sleep; the nutrients in milk can also make people feel warm and full, enhance the hypnotic effect, and make people sleep steadily, deeply, and sweetly. Millet porridge is also a good choice, because millet contains tryptophan and starch. Tryptophan is the raw material for the formation of hydroxytryptamine, and hydroxytryptamine has an inhibitory effect on the brain and can promote sleep.

Therefore, male friends should arrange their time reasonably and try to improve their work efficiency. At the same time, they should release stress appropriately and ensure adequate sleep as much as possible. When they need to stay up late to work overtime due to various reasons, they can take a proper rest at noon to minimize the harm to the body.
