It turns out that the desire to sleep on weekends until noon to compensate for the lack of adequate sleep for working days is dangerous for the female body.
Although man is an intelligent creature, from a biological point of view, he is an animal, a mammal. The daily rhythms in the human body are inherent in nature, that is, they synchronously interact with the rhythms of nature itself. In theory, we should wake up together with the sun, and go into a night sleep with the appearance of the moon. For a full recovery after a working day, the human body needs eight hours, this is the recommended amount of time for a night’s sleep in the period from dusk to dawn. What diseases develop when we sleep until lunchtime?
Obesity
We are used to the fact that the main enemies of a beautiful body are unhealthy diet and lack of sports. And we rarely think that metabolism directly depends on the daily routine. It can be argued that the one who sleeps during the day leads a less active lifestyle, more often consumes high-calorie foods. But more important is the effect of the sleep hormone melatonin on the digestive tract. Melatonin, which is released in the human body at night 30 times more than during the day, stimulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and directly contributes to the normalization of weight. The less a person receives the night sleep hormone, the more difficult it is for him to fight excess weight. Melatonin is a stimulant of special fat cells (beige fat) that burn calories. A person who goes to bed in the morning, hoping to sleep off during the day, is much less likely to have a correct metabolism. If you did not go to bed on time, the body tired of the day requires replenishment of calories in the form of fatty foods. You run all night to the refrigerator, instead of snoring, saturating your mortal body with melatonin. Recall that the beneficial hormone is released mainly in the dark.
Depression
If we sleep until lunchtime, then another hormone is connected here, or rather, it turns off. We meet in the morning serotonin – the hormone of happiness, which is released only in daylight, when we are awake. We are in a good mood on sunny days, and the oppressed state comes to us on winter unkind weekdays. Sleeping until noon deprives us of the accumulation of a pleasant sense of success, well-being, a successful day. It is impossible to make up for the lack of sleep, and a long sleep on the weekend instead of the promised vigor will only lead to chronic fatigue. And here a vicious circle can work: from oversleeping – depression, and from a loss of spirit – sleep disturbance, frequent night awakenings and sleep until the evening, bad mood and inability to fall asleep. And so in a circle. To keep the body working in a healthy and not stressful mode, go to bed on time, and do gymnastics in the morning.
Feeling pain
With a low level of the hormone of good mood, which is released in daylight, the sensitivity of the pain system increases, that is, even the weakest irritation responds with severe pain. Most intense headaches are caused by a deficiency of a certain amino acid (tryptophan), which determines the correct production of serotonin. We noticed that after a long sleep we do not get the desired satisfaction with our condition: sadness, a headache, everything around is annoying … It was a hormonal imbalance that failed. Only a clear daily routine allows our body to function smoothly.
Diabetes
Sleep quality greatly affects blood sugar levels. American scientists have found that people who sleep more than eight hours a day have a 50% higher risk of developing diabetes than those who are not used to lying in bed for a long time. At the same time, this pattern did not depend on other provocateurs of the disease: weight, age, smoking habit. It should be noted that sleep deprivation people are also prone to health problems, so a measure is needed in everything. If you are a night owl and have to run to work in the morning and sleep off on weekends, such fluctuations in sleep patterns can increase the likelihood of diabetes.
Decreased immunity
When the biological clock constantly goes astray, when the sleep pattern changes, the body has to adjust to external shocks. Important organs and systems of a person suffer. He, as they say, is exhausted physically and emotionally, because internal reserves and strength are spent on an endless restructuring of the rhythm of life. Full sleep, corresponding to natural biorhythms, where they sleep at night and stay awake during the day, ensures the stable functioning of the nervous system and all internal organs. Frequent colds are not only due to the unfavorable influence of the environment, but first of all it is a consequence of improper rest. Therefore, sleep on time and it will be credited to you.
Early aging
I just want to say: “Girls, girls, ladies, sleep as long as you want!” But look up at the first point and remember that 70 percent of the daily value of melatonin is excreted at night. And the sleep hormone is responsible for the work of the brain, slows down the aging process, regulates the activity of the endocrine system, and has antioxidant properties. Therefore, the popular saying “who sleeps the most, he lives less” can be considered literally, and not as wasted days.
