Sleep not only helps the body recover as quickly as possible, but also allows internal organs in the body to rest and regulate.

Some people believe that sleep is just lying on a 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 issues related to sleep, based on thousands of years of experience, they also 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 sleep?

Don’t oversleep

Many people like to oversleep, especially young people today, they are under a lot 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 time, it will not be able to withstand it, and even a series of problems will arise. To avoid this situation, we need to arrange a suitable rest time for ourselves.

Many young people will set aside rest time on Saturdays and Sundays, during which they will completely relax, not only staying up late but also spending most of their time sleeping, lying in bed and not getting up all day. According to research, oversleeping will 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…

Don’t sleep with anger

Some people also sleep with negative emotions, but in reality, sleeping with negative emotions can cause serious harm to our bodies. Sleeping with feelings of anger, irritability too much is harmful to the body because when a person is angry, the air in the body will flow back, affecting liver function and even affecting the respiratory system. Moreover, excessive anger will also affect the operation of the blood gas in the body, leading to imbalances in blood gas.

Negative emotions release stress hormones, making you more irritable and many worrisome symptoms may accompany that. 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 our health, we should try not to immerse ourselves in sleep with negative emotions. Human beings themselves are responsible for their own health, no matter how important the outside factors are, they cannot be as healthy as a good body. Everyone’s life is full of trivial problems. If your mood is affected by these unpleasant things, you will eventually be hurt. Therefore, when encountering these things, you must know how to relax your body, mood, and maintain a good attitude.

Don’t sleep at the wrong time

For young people today, staying up late has become a normal thing, most of these people usually stay up late, even until dawn before going to bed, because no matter how healthy you are, you cannot stay awake. Because of staying up too late, the nighttime sleep time of these people needs to be compensated during the day. This “day and night” misunderstanding can cause damage to the liver and kidneys, affecting the mental state of humans, and over time can cause many different chronic diseases.
