Does sleeping too early also affect lifespan?

Don't rush to deny the saying 'going to bed early may not necessarily be beneficial' in the early morning! Doctors remind that early sleep is not necessarily better, mastering scientific methods is key.

1、 Don't be too rigid with the biological clock

The human body has a precise biological clock, and if a night owl is forced to fall asleep before 23:00, it is prone to sleep interruption. Lying down for two hours but still unable to fall asleep may be violating genetic rhythms and affecting sleep quality.

2、 Falling asleep too early carries hidden health risks

A follow-up study by Oxford University on 70000 people showed that those who sleep before 9am for a long time have a 28% increased risk of stroke, similar to having a car engine suddenly shut down. People with hypertension who change their daily routine recklessly may also increase vascular pressure.

3、 Quality is more important than duration

Sleep monitoring has found that deep sleep from 3-5 am is equivalent to two hours of light sleep in the first half of the night. Instead of worrying about whether to lie down before 10 o'clock, it's better to focus on whether you have entered the deep sleep stage of 'staying still'.

4、 Practical sleep plan

Turn off the overhead light 90 minutes before bedtime and switch to warm light below 3000K;
Weekend schedule fluctuations should not exceed 2 hours to avoid social time differences;
Lying down for 30 minutes without falling asleep, getting up to read a paper book;
Within 15 minutes of waking up in the morning, expose yourself to sunlight and reset your biological clock.

There is no unified standard for sleep, so there is no need to be kidnapped by the "8-hour sleep theory". Recording the time of falling asleep for a week and finding the "sweet sleeping spot" that can make oneself radiant the next day is the way to health.
