Revealed, sleep is useful as a defense against the new coronavirus

News24xx.com - Only 5% of people on the planet are able to get enough sleep in just four hours - thanks to a special mutation in the ADRB1 gene. Scientists advise the rest of people to sleep more time, otherwise serious health problems may arise, and life expectancy will be significantly reduced.

How much sleep ?
According to German scientists who analyzed the results of 55,000 Europeans, most people sleep 7-9 hours a day. Only about 15% spend less than 7 or more than 9 hours in bed. In the United States, almost a third of the population lacks sleep. But studies say: the best health indicators are observed with a duration of sleep of 7-9 hours.

Korean scientists analyzed the data on the sleep of more than 13,000 people and found: this is exactly what is needed for a full recovery of forces. People whose nightly rest lasts 7-8 hours live on average longer than another. If you sleep 5 or less hours, the risk of death from all diseases increases by 1.2 times. With an increase in sleep time up to 10 hours, the indicator jumps already 1.4 times!

According to the calculations of Australian researchers, an overabundance of night rest increases the chances of prematurely dying from cardiovascular diseases: by 5% for sleeping for 9 hours, for 17% for sleeping for 10 hours and for 41% for lovers to spend more than 10 hours in bed.

It has been repeatedly proved that sleep helps restore physiological functions and treatment, so some scientists say this: sleeping a lot can be harmful, or maybe not. But lack of sleep is definitely dangerous to health.

According to the somnologist, in a dream there is a fine tuning of the internal organs. The brain ceases to respond to signals from outside - visual and sound signals - and begins to process information coming, for example, from the liver or intestines, trying to arrange their work for subsequent wakefulness.

 Increasing sleep time helps to increase the physical performance of athletes. When a person begins to sleep more, it loses weight: “Because in the phase of a slow sleep, normalization of hormonal relationships is observed, which ultimately leads to the correct expenditure of energy and an increase in the sensitivity of receptors to insulin”,- the professors explain.

In addition, adequate sleep time always correlates with the good functioning of the immune system. This was proved by American scientists who infected 164 healthy volunteers with rhinovirus and observed which of them fell ill. It turned out that the likelihood of developing an infection strongly depended on how many people slept. People who spent only 5-6 hours in bed were almost 5 times more likely to get sick than volunteers who slept for more than 7 hours.
It shows the dependence of the incidence on the duration of sleep.

“Sleep - even at the wrong time, such as daytime sleep - really helps to activate the immune system, accelerate the recovery process of the body and prevents the further development of infectious diseases. Whenever you get sick, you are drawn to sleep. This is a natural defense of the body. You can also consider a good quality sleep. and as protection against the new coronavirus", - suggested the somnologist.

Scheduled sleep

According to American experts, the productivity of night sleep can be significantly improved if you make a schedule and strictly observe circadian rhythms. After studying the data of nearly 2,000 volunteers, it turned out that people who had an irregular night's sleep were more likely to have diabetes, heart failure and hypertension, and were suffering from obesity.

Of great importance for health is the pose of sleep. If you spend the whole night lying on your side, there will be problems with the heartbeat, and during night rest on your stomach, the internal organs of a person feel a serious load. In addition, the quality of sleep depends on a properly selected diet and even ambient temperature.

“In order for sleep to restore strength as best as possible, you need a comfortable air temperature, a minimum level of illumination and external noise. You should lie down and get up at the same time. Don’t drink tea, coffee, smoke, drink alcohol at night. Avoid excessive activation. We must remember that even our attempts to drive ourselves to sleep increase our brain activity, like counting imaginary sheep. The state of sleep is genetically embedded in us.
