Lack of sleep will induce cancer?

According to experts, sleep problems and human health and life expectancy are closely linked. The long-term lack of sleep, not only will lead to obesity, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases, may also induce cancer. However, in our country, people often sleep problems seriously, and there is a misunderstanding, so rarely go to hospital. Experts said awareness of the importance people should be further improved sleep, sleep problems should not be overlooked.
Lack of sleep may trigger cancer
Recently, the American Association for Cancer Research survey found that sleep on the incidence of cancer have a major impact. This conclusion was reached in the study surveyed women in Maryland, made after 5968, they found that less than 7 hours of sleep each night of the women than the positive exercise, adequate sleep is more than 47% of women. But how sleep affects the incidence of cancer has not yet confirmed.

"This is a preliminary study, but such a mechanism may be." Professor at Peking University People's Hospital, the Chinese Sleep Research Society, vice president of Han Fang said, "lack of sleep can lead to decreased immunity the body, animal experiments show that completely deprived of sleep a week of small animals, small animals can be due to impaired immune function and lead to infection died. people in extreme fatigue, lack of sleep, also susceptible to colds. the long-term lack of sleep lead to impaired immune function Er Shi easy to escape the immune cells and cancer cell-killing. "

Han Fang believes that now the prevalence of cancer is rising, despite the many attributed to environmental pollution, but are closely related to modern lifestyles lack of sleep is also a noteworthy factor. From the past several decades of development trend, a decrease of people's sleep time 1-2 hours, including a faster pace of living, nightlife led to an increase in sleep time, sleep rhythm disorders caused by jet lag, various sleep disorders such as insomnia, reduced quality of sleep caused by snoring.

Sleeping problems are hazardous to health
"According to available clinical and experimental research data, the International Sleep disorders will be divided into more than 80 kinds of types of sleep disorders, the most common sleep disorders are insomnia and sleep disorders and respiratory-related." People's Liberation Army Air Force General Hospital Wang, director of Sleep Center, a smile, said, "a global survey of sleep, our population has 45.4%% of the existence of sleep problems, of which 28% insomnia, 17.4%% as suspicious insomnia."

Wang Kanji said that since 2003, some areas such as Shanghai, Chengde and other places of the survey shows that sleep problems in China is not optimistic. Sleep can be considered as a life habit, but it is not based on personal hobby and be able to choose, and it is subject to environmental, genetic, health status, and other way of life. Allow a short sleep to maintain physical and mental health has become more difficult. Studies have shown that sleep time is short and the long-term obesity, diabetes type Ⅱ, hypertension, metabolic syndrome is closely related.

Han Fang believes that with the pressure of work and employment and further increase economic pressure to further enhance, in which case, people's sleep quality worse. "Large amounts of data to prove the Chinese people's sleep time is reduced sleep quality is declining."

The lack of attention to the low rate of attendance
The former chairman of the Chinese Sleep Research Society, said Xi-Zhen Huang, adequate sleep, balanced diet and appropriate exercise of the international community recognized the three health standards, but the people awareness of the importance of sleep is clearly not enough.

"In the clinical able to out-patient treatment are a number of deeply troubled patients with sleep disorders, but more mild or moderate sleep disturbances are simply fails to recognize the importance of sleep problems." Han Fang said.

"In the most developed of Sleep Medicine United States, the situation was relatively okay some." Han Fang said, "but in our country, because people are relatively low health awareness, knowledge and little sleep, the situation is worse than the United States." He said that China has not yet the establishment of sleep medicine disciplines, very few in the university courses by the relevant education, many Chinese doctors level of awareness is not high. At the same time, people's misunderstanding of the important factors, do not know if sleep problems count as illness, that snoring is a sleep incense, does not know that just the opposite.

Wang has been in the clinical front-line smile about such a case: a 70-year-old retired cadre, three years, often during sleep associated with dreams abnormal behavior, such as shouting, beating, Shimoji, fall bed and so on, but had received no treatment. The reason is usually modest in patients with reasonable, shy away from treatment, did not know where to go for medical treatment. King Kanji, said many hospitals in China there is no specific sleep disorders sections, the sick person does not know where to go for medical treatment.

Absolutely can not trapped in a "meeting feeling that" Misunderstanding
Face due to work, study intensity causes such as lack of sleep, people often use the weekend, "added sense" approach to compensate. But this is an effective way? Han Fang said that the appropriate "fill perception," on the human body can be regarded as a kind of "compensation" will help restore the abundant energy, but sleep is not possible, the need of sleep a day, time is 7-8 hours, too many "fill perception," in fact is a kind of ineffective sleep. There are weekly changes in sleep time making their own biological clock can not adapt to affect physical and mental health.

Some white-collar workers to save time, often on a bus, "added Cox." In this regard, Han Fang believes that such an approach is also undesirable, because people only "deep sleep" post, can fully eliminate fatigue. In the car due to shaking, whistle a variety of factors, make it difficult to enter the deep sleep state, not only to sleep can not be eliminated, but also sustained injuries to his neck in the emergency brake, easily lead to symptoms such as stiff neck.

Han Fang said that people's lifestyle clock to comply with the law in order to ensure the physical and mental health. Therefore, the daily routine of peacetime should be to develop good habits, try to avoid late at night. He suggested that the rest should be reasonable arrangements to ensure adequate sleep time; before going to bed a hot bath to relieve fatigue, can also be used hot water their feet; before going to bed drink a cup of hot milk; the proper conduct of a class of jogging or light physical exercise labor, in short, improve sleep quality is the top priority.
