December 23, 2023

 A sports enthusiast in life, but unfortunately died of sudden cardiac arrest. Behind the pain is endless reflection. Don't say you're young and squander your life recklessly. It also has a time when the oil runs out. So is sleeping two hours less than usual considered staying up late? The following reminders are provided by the editor:

 

 Why do sports enthusiasts suddenly die?

Zhao Yanyun, born in 1983, from Honghu, Hubei Province, obtained a Ph.D. in Statistics from Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain, and a master's degree in Economics from Carlos III University of Madrid and Beijing Normal University.

He worked at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, has one son and one daughter, the daughter is three years old, and the youngest son is still in the breastfeeding period.

He is a long-distance running expert, and has been in the top five in the marathon for faculty and staff. He is kind, progressive, has high self-requirements, and is willing to learn new methods of research, teaching, and guiding students outside of his own school.

However, he suddenly had a cardiac arrest while attending a lecture at Huazhong University of Science and Technology and unfortunately passed away after ineffective rescue.

 What time is considered staying up late?

In recent years, there have been frequent cases of sudden death due to staying up late, which has caused panic among friends who are used to staying up and sleeping late. What time is considered staying up late? But this question is not as simple as "what time to sleep".

 1. Is it considered staying up late if you sleep at 4 a.m. and wake up at 12 p.m.?

Strictly speaking, it is not considered staying up late.

 

There are currently two recognized factors affecting sleep regulation: biological clock and sleep self-regulation.

In other words, the key points of sleep are "regularity" and "getting enough sleep".

If the biological clock is irregular, it will lead to endocrine disorders. The longer you stay awake, the more tired you will feel and the more you will need to sleep.

The harm of staying up late mentioned earlier includes irregular sleep, insufficient sleep, and staying up all night.

 2. Is it considered staying up late if you sleep one or two hours less every day?

Yes, even if you go to bed early every day.

Long-term chronic sleep deprivation is more serious than acute all-nighters.

 3. Can you make up for lost sleep after staying up late?

If you occasionally stay up late, you can make up for it. Catching up on sleep will definitely be better than not catching up at all.

 4. What should you do if you have to work?

If you only work the night shift, there is no big problem. The real problem is constantly switching between day shift and night shift.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has also clearly stated that shift work disrupts the biological clock and carries a risk of cancer.
