What happens when people don't sleep?

What happens if you don't sleep? Experiment-An American named Peter Tripp took part in an experiment without sleeping for 200 hours. Everything was normal for the first three days, but on the fourth day, I had a nervous breakdown and couldn't help laughing because of something that wasn't funny. Some sad news, after listening to it, actually burst into tears inexplicably; Originally, I didn't wear a hat, but I always complained that the hat on my head was too heavy. On the fifth day, the subjects shouted hysterically. One minute they say other people's coats are like crawling bugs, and the next they say they ran out of the burning room. After 200 hours, he was tortured like a mental illness. He's almost crazy. When he was put to bed, he slept for 9 hours, 1 1 minute, and then everything was normal. It can be seen from this experiment that people can't live without sleep.

About one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep. For everyone, there can be no proud academic achievements, romantic love and marriage, brilliant career and comfortable old age, but there must be no sleep. In a sense, sleep is more important to life and health than other daily things such as diet. Although everything in daily life is interrelated and influenced each other in reality. Because when people sleep, the blood flow in the brain and liver is seven times that when they stand. Sleep can slow down all systems in the body, such as slow heartbeat, low blood pressure and low body temperature, which greatly reduces the release of energy, thus achieving the effect of saving energy. At the same time, sleep can promote the release of growth hormone and the activation of various active enzymes. When sleeping at night, the secretion of growth hormone is 5-7 times higher than during the day. It is beneficial to the growth and development of children and adolescents, and can also activate various active enzymes in middle-aged and elderly people, thus accelerating metabolism and delaying brain decline.

Sleeping posture and personality.

Everyone's personality has a dual character-one is displayed to the outside world, and the other is real but hidden. When you are awake, you won't show your secret side, because you can control your behavior; But when you sleep alone, the way you sleep will show the real you. Under normal circumstances, people will constantly change their postures at night. What matters is your posture when you are asleep. Many times, valuable information is obtained from the words of sleeping people, thus turning defeat into victory and winning the initiative.

1) If you sleep on your back, you are an open-minded person. You generally trust others and are easily influenced by fashion and new ideas. You don't like to offend people, so you never show your true feelings. You are shy and not confident enough.

2) If you sleep on your stomach, you are more reserved. You are often worried and easily troubled. You are stubborn, but you don't have much ambition. You are usually drunk today. In other words, you like to have fun.

3) If you curl up while sleeping, you may be a neurotic person. You feel bad about yourself, so you are always careful. You are still shy and generally don't like dealing with people. You prefer being alone. You are very fragile.

4) If you sleep on your side, your personality is relatively stable. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You are more cautious. You are very confident. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't feel sad easily. You are always outspoken and not afraid of offending people.

What kind of personality do you belong to? This is also a good way to understand others and their own personality. In Japan, there is a joke about sleeping. If a husband wants to divorce his wife, all he has to do is find an excuse to complain about her poor sleeping position. Because the Japanese think that the way a person sleeps reflects her education level.

Sleep and disease:

1) Some people grind their teeth when they sleep at night, which is related to the decrease of saliva in the mouth and the lack of lubrication on the tooth surface during sleep. However, long-term grinding will wear the enamel on the tooth surface and affect the chewing function. There are many reasons for grinding teeth. Children play unrestrained during the day, disrupting the normal life rules, affecting sleep, and will involuntarily grind their teeth; Being reprimanded during the day can lead to mental stress and fatigue, which makes the part of the brain that manages masticatory muscles in an excited state and keeps chewing. If children can combine work and rest and have a good spirit, the habit of grinding teeth will gradually improve. Some children suffer from ascariasis, because the interference of ascariasis will make the intestinal wall constantly stimulated, and it will also cause the reflex contraction of masticatory muscles to cause molars, and the drugs will disappear after insect repellent. Some children eat indigestible food before going to bed, so that the digestive tract can not be fully rested, and there will be molars. Therefore, it is not advisable to give children indigestible food or eat too many snacks before going to bed. Parents should pay attention to the situation of children's molars, find out the causes of molars, and actively check and treat them to make their children grow up healthily.

2) Some people drool when they sleep at night. Normal people secrete 65,438+0,000 ~ 65,438+0,500 ml of saliva every day, and even without food stimulation, they can secrete 0.5 ml of saliva every minute, so people still secrete a small amount of saliva to lubricate the oral mucosa and protect their teeth during sleep. Under special circumstances, dreaming of delicious food will stimulate saliva secretion, and the amount of saliva secretion will increase, leading to drooling; Improper sleeping posture sometimes leads to drooling; Some people often grind their teeth when they sleep, which stimulates the nerve center of the brain and promotes saliva secretion, resulting in drooling; Some people like to eat spicy food or alcohol and tobacco, so that their mouths are dry at night and their saliva secretion increases; Breathing with your mouth open while sleeping is easy to dry mouth, thus promoting saliva secretion; In addition, some diseases, such as infectious stomatitis, toothache, mercury poisoning, potassium iodide poisoning and so on. It can also stimulate the increase of saliva secretion and cause drooling during sleep. People who often drool during sleep need to find out the reasons according to the situation and take targeted measures to relieve their troubles. What's the problem with drooling when sleeping? Saliva, medically called saliva, is a colorless, transparent, foamy and slightly turbid liquid. Saliva secretion is similar to urine, with an average of about1500ml per day. Drooling during sleep is generally caused by the following factors: 1. Poor oral hygiene: the temperature and humidity in the oral cavity are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, and food residues or sugar substances accumulate between the teeth and the tooth surface, which is prone to dental caries and periodontal disease. These bad factors are very irritating, and you will drool when you sleep. Second, the front teeth are deformed: this may be due to acquired bad habits caused by genetic factors, such as biting nails, sticking out your tongue, biting pencils, etc. , causing the front teeth to deform and drool when sleeping. Third, neuromodulation disorder: the regulation of saliva secretion is completely reflective. The so-called "looking at plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Therefore, the disorder of neuromodulation can also lead to drooling during sleep. Drooling when sleeping, salty, the pillow towel is pale yellow, probably due to poor oral hygiene, food residue accumulation, and more tartar over time, causing gum inflammation and even a small amount of bleeding. So when sleeping, saliva is salty and light yellow. Prevention and treatment methods are: first, pay attention to oral hygiene, and develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and gargling after meals. You can also ask a dentist for treatment, take clean treatment, remove tartar, take vitamins C and B2 and other drugs to eliminate gingivitis and reduce bad stimulation.
