“Don’t want to live a short life? Don’t sleep three times. What are those three times?”

Sleep is a normal part of life, with approximately one-third of our lives spent sleeping. This highlights the significance of sleep for humans. During the day, our bodies and organs are constantly active, and when night falls, the body needs to regulate itself through sleep.

Sleep not only helps the body to quickly return to its optimal state, but also allows the internal organs in the body to rest and adjust.

Some people think that sleep is just lying on the bed and closing their eyes, but in reality, sleep is not as simple as we think. The issue of sleep contains a lot of knowledge. Our ancestors paid special attention to sleep-related issues, based on thousands of years of experience and left behind this saying for future generations: “If you don’t want to live short, don’t sleep three times.” What does this phrase mean? What are the three types of sleep that people should not have?

Avoid lazy sleep

Many people like to sleep in, especially young people today. They experience a great deal of pressure in their daily work and need to wake up on time to go to work every morning. When the body is in a state of high intensity work for a long period of time, it cannot sustain it and a series of issues can occur. To avoid this situation, we need to arrange for ourselves an appropriate rest time.

Many young people will set their rest time on Saturday, Sunday, at this time they will completely let go of themselves, not only staying up late at night but also spending most of their time sleeping, lying in bed and refusing to get up all day. According to research, oversleeping can bring negative effects to health, damage blood vessels, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, decrease memory and vision, increase the risk of diabetes, and increase the risk of stroke…

Avoid sleeping with negative emotions

Some people also sleep with negative emotions, but in reality, sleeping with negative emotions can cause serious harm to our bodies. Sleeping with anger and excessive frustration is harmful to the body because when a person is angry, the qi in the body flows backwards, affecting liver function and even respiratory function. Moreover, excessive anger can also affect the balance of blood circulation in the body.

Negative emotions release stress hormones, making you more irritable and many worrisome symptoms may accompany it. In the long run, it can lead to insomnia, restless sleep, nightmares, or in the worst case, mental health problems such as depression.

Therefore, for the sake of our health, we should try not to immerse ourselves in sleep with negative emotions. Individuals are responsible for their own health, and no matter how important external things are, they cannot be as healthy as a good body. Everyone’s life is full of trivial matters, if your mood is affected by these unpleasant things, you will eventually be harmed. Therefore, when facing these things, you must know how to relax your body, mood and maintain a positive attitude.

Avoid sleeping against the “biological clock”

For today’s young people, staying up late has become normal, most of them stay up late, even until dawn before going to bed because no matter how healthy you are, you cannot survive without sleep. Because of staying up too late, the nighttime sleep of these people needs to be compensated during the day. This “day-night” misconception can cause damage to the liver and kidneys, affect the mental state of individuals, and over time can cause various chronic diseases.
