Protect Your Sleep

How did you sleep last night? Let’ s look at some common habits that could be bad for your health without your realizing it.

Shocking Alarms

A young woman shared online that she felt sick after being shocked awake by her loud alarm. Why?     1     Chris Smith from the Edinburgh Sleep Center explained to the Daily Mail, “    2     During the later part of the night, the body works slowly and less actively. When a loud noise happens, the blood pressure will go up, the heart beat and breathing will also become faster.”

Although it’s not comfortable to wake up suddenly, many people find it difficult to wake up on their own without an alarm.     3    

Sleeping and Waking Up Late

Although following the eight-hour rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m.     4    

“Environmental changes such as temperature and light levels...tell the body what time it is,” expert Emily Brown wrote in a book about sleep. Brown added that waking up late the next day could also make people tired.     5    

The habit may influence a person’s study, work and other parts of life. Scientists are working on way s to treat the disorder (紊乱), such as using light to gradually change sleeping habits.
