The white paper, the product of surveys in 31 provinces, covers many aspects of sleep and sleep quality. It has attracted widespread interest among netizens（网民）after its release.

The report shows over 300 million people in China today have sleep disorders, while the proportion of insomnia（失眠）among people who exercise regularly is only 10 percent. This means the rate of insomnia among the general population is nearly four times higher than those who exercise regularly.

Studies show sleep is essential, as people spend a third of their lives asleep. Yet today more and more people are suffering from insomnia, which causes us to suffer both physically and mentally.

Increased mental stress is one of the major causes of insomnia. Today people generally work more intensely and are under more mental stress, thus causing sleep disorders. Studies show people with higher income are more likely to sleep late because of overtime, and lawyers, business executives and doctors often have to stay up late because of overtime work.

In addition, the popularity of electronics has also enriched our nightlife. Some people say, “I feel empty if I don’t browse Tiktok or Weibo before going to bed.”

Retaliatory agrypnia（报复性熬夜）is also increasing among younger generation. They say “The only time I have is the time before I go to bed, and as long as I don’t sleep today, the next day will never come.” It forms a vicious cycle in which people don’t get enough sleep at night and feel sleepy during the day.

【推荐2】Do you like watching TV or playing video games? How long do you use your phone a day? We call the time we spend on TV, computers and mobile phones “screen time”.

In a study in Australia, scientists ask 577,000 children how much time they spend on screens, schoolwork and sports every day. They find about 68% of them spend more than two hours on screens.

Two hours of screen time a day is bad for children’s health. The study shows harm (伤害) starts after 75 minutes of screen time for girls and 105 minutes for boys. Why is that? Just because ▲. In our study, 24% of boys spend an hour a day exercising, but only 14% of girls do that,” Dr Khan said.

So it is important for children to do sports and balance (平衡) their screen time. Tom Hindhaugh has a “three-time” system for his son Patrick—a “go time” for schoolwork, a “slow time” to play video games or talk with friends on the Internet, and a “green time” for exercise or outdoor games. “We need to get children outside and move. They can walk, ride a bike or play football,” he said. “Anyway, Patrick is happy and healthy.”
