Not enough sleep for 3 nights for 8hrs, “I fear half of the immune function is left”

Adequate sleep, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can increase resistance, but modern people generally have the habit of staying up late. Studies have shown that adults who sleep less than 7 to 8 hours for 3 consecutive nights may reduce the function of their immune system by half. People who often stay up late will experience major changes in their bodies.

According to “CCTV”, immunity is the ability of the human body to resist the erosion of external diseases. In fact, the virus does not necessarily cause the disease when it enters the body. If there is enough resistance, the virus can be eliminated and driven out of the house. Immunity is affected by many aspects such as congenital diseases, and some improper behaviors in daily life will also reduce immunity.

Chen Zhi, director of the training center of the Beijing Emergency Center, pointed out that staying up late can destroy the human immunity very much. In the face of the panic and anxiety of the epidemic, disrupting daily habits will directly destroy the immunity. Some data show that as long as adults don’t get 7 to 8 hours of sleep in 3 nights, the immune system may be reduced by half. “Sleep 3 hours a day is enough to reduce the function of important immune cells.” In addition, the nerves that control emotions are closely linked with the immune system. Anxiety and panic will also destroy the immune system. Therefore, having sufficient sleep and maintaining an optimistic mood is an important basis for improving immunity.

After the news came to light, many netizens felt the same, and left messages to share their own experiences, “No wonder my physical fitness has been getting worse and worse in recent years”, “I used to stay up all night very seriously, and then my heart tingled, and then I went back to work after I rested. Then the diet was irregular, leading to severe erosive gastritis, which was relieved after resting for several months”, “I have been boiled for 3 years, and the cancer is at an advanced stage. Don’t boil it.” Inflammation, pimples on the forehead, or mouth sores.”
