World Gym shares 3 bad sleep and difficulty falling asleep?You may step on these 3 mines by mistake

1. Lack of exercise

When exercising, the brain will secrete endorphins, which will produce a feeling of happiness and get rid of troubles. After exercising, you will feel relaxed and tired, and your body will be more likely to enter a deep sleep state; on the contrary, if you do not exercise, you will not naturally feel sleepy.

2. Lack of moisture

Lack of water in the body will cause electrolyte imbalance, reduce blood volume, and slow down the transmission speed of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, resulting in a decrease in the work efficiency of various organs, poor physical strength, and easy feeling of fatigue and lack of sleep.

3. Uncertain sleep time

Many office workers work overtime and stay up late during the working day. When they are on holidays, they develop a compensatory mentality and do not get up until noon. Irregular sleep time will actually mess up the biological clock and make the body more tired.

But it’s not that the more sleep the better, the sleep time of 7-9 hours a day is the best.
