As the saying goes, 'If you don't want to live a short life, don't sleep for three nights', what do you mean by' three nights'? Is there any scientific basis?

As the saying goes, 'If you don't want to live a short life, don't sleep three nights.'

As the saying goes, 'If you don't want to live a short life, don't sleep three nights.'. This sentence is widely spread among the people, but in fact, the "three sleeps" referred to are: sleeping late, sleeping with emotions, and sleeping with black and white reversed. These three sleep patterns are believed to have negative effects on people's physical and mental health. So, does this statement have scientific basis? Today, let's explore together.

Firstly, let's take a look at 'Sleeping in'. Many people choose to sleep in on weekends or holidays, and even sleep until noon. However, from a scientific perspective, this behavior may have adverse effects on our bodies. The plan of the day is in the morning, which is the best time for the generation of yang qi. Sleeping in at this time may affect the relaxation of yang qi, thereby harming the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that prolonged lying can harm qi. Furthermore, sleeping in late can also cause irregular sleep patterns, disrupt the biological clock, and may cause hormonal imbalances due to sudden changes in sleep habits, leading to symptoms such as emotional depression or headaches. In addition, sleeping in can also make people miss the golden period of eating breakfast. If they skip breakfast and overeat at noon, it may also harm intestinal function, leading to chronic gastritis or indigestion.

Secondly, 'sleeping with emotions' is also one of the' three sleeps' mentioned. In the fast-paced modern life, people often fall asleep with various pressures and negative emotions before going to bed. However, this habit may have an impact on physical health. In the case of excessive anger, the circulation of qi and blood in the body may be disrupted, leading to stagnation of qi. The movement of qi and blood is crucial for the health of the human body. Inadequate qi can cause imbalance between yin and yang, as well as qi and blood, thereby affecting physical health. Furthermore, anger harms the liver. Angry emotions can cause the body's qi to reverse, and may also damage liver function, respiratory and digestive systems, leading to problems such as stomach diseases. Therefore, we should learn to adjust our emotions before falling asleep and maintain a peaceful and happy attitude, which is very important for improving the quality of sleep and promoting physical and mental health.

Finally, let's take a look at 'sleeping with black and white reversed'. Some people often stay up late at night and fall asleep during the day due to work or lifestyle habits. This black and white reversed lifestyle may interfere with the normal physiological rhythm of the human body, and in the long run, it may lead to insufficient rest for various organs of the body, leading to a series of health problems, such as decreased immunity, impaired liver and kidney function, etc. In addition, prolonged staying up late may also lead to a decrease in mental state, affect normal work and life, and may even trigger chronic diseases.

However, we also need to note that not everyone has the conditions to sleep at night and wake up during the day every day. For example, some people have to work night shifts due to work needs. For this group of people, they need to find sufficient rest time during the day to ensure their bodies receive sufficient rest and minimize the impact of a black and white lifestyle on their physical health.

Overall, although the statement 'don't want to be short-lived, don't sleep three nights' may be exaggerated, the concept behind it is worth pondering. That is: we should pay attention to sleep quality, maintain a good lifestyle, avoid sleeping late, sleeping with emotions, and sleeping with black and white reversed, in order to maintain physical and mental health and stay away from diseases.

Here, I would like to use a sentence as a summary of this article: "No matter how hard you feel inside, get a good sleep and everything will be at ease; no matter how tired you are to make a living, get a good sleep and your body will be at ease; no matter how busy your life is, get a good sleep and feel at ease." I hope we can all cherish our sleep and maintain a healthy physical and mental state.
