March 21 is the 22nd world sleep day. On the 19 world sleep day press conference held by Chinese Medical Doctor Association sleep medicine Specialized Committee on the day of the year, Lu Lin, academician of China Academy of engineering and No.6 Hospital of Peking University director, pointed out that chronic sleep deprivation can cause fatal effects. Research shows that chronic sleep problems can increase the risk of diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Only 22.56% of the public knew about sleep diseases How many people know that poor sleep can lead to many diseases? "About 37.52% of the public have heard of but do not know about it, about 33.94% have never heard of bad sleep and disease, and only 22.56% know about it." Ye Jingying, chairman of the professional committee of sleep medicine of the Chinese Medical Association, pointed out when releasing the report on the sleep status of urban office workers that the public lacks understanding of sleep diseases, which exposed that there is still a long way to go for relevant popular science. The source of this group of data is 500000 sleep data in 2021 and 1833 valid questionnaires. The sample covers office workers over the age of 18, including 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government in the mainland (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). According to the questionnaire, the average sleep time of users of Jingying watch is 6.5 hours, and the average sleep time of users of Jingying watch is 6.5 hours. Only 22% of them can sleep for more than 8 hours, 53% for 6 to 8 hours and 25% for less than 6 hours. The data showed that 47% of office workers reported poor sleep quality, and only 30.6% of office workers reached the standard for deep sleep time; 25% of people snore every night, which has the potential risk of sleep apnea; The cities that can stay up most include Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The province that sleeps the latest is Guangdong Province, with an average bedtime of 23:55. Which factors lead to poor sleep quality ranks first? Ye Jingying introduced that the data showed that "playing mobile phones" and social pressure accounted for the first and second respectively. "Playing mobile phones" accounted for 59.7%, of which, in addition to entertainment, processing also accounted for a certain proportion. According to Ye Jingying, among office workers with poor sleep quality, 51.6% showed decreased memory and 47.8% showed inattention; Among those who slept less than 6 hours, 25.5% were overweight; Among office workers who sleep less than 6 hours, 45% have facial skin problems. The source of many chronic diseases is closely related to sleep diseases Sleep is an important physiological process to maintain human life activities. Dong Jiahong, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and President of the school of clinical medicine of Tsinghua University, pointed out: "adequate sleep, balanced diet and appropriate exercise are the three health standards recognized by the international community." Han Demin, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and expert in Otolaryngology, pointed out that the source factors of a variety of chronic diseases are closely related to sleep diseases. We must have a very important understanding of the relationship between health and sleep. More importantly, we should promote knowledge popularization and let the public understand the importance of sleep. "In fact, sleep has important physiological functions. The most basic cognitive memory of human beings is completed during sleep. The metabolites of brain tissue are cleared during sleep. Mutant tumor cells are also cleared during sleep. Only when there is sleep can we be healthy." Lu Lin points out that good sleep can reduce the incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. He cited the findings of a team of four universities: the length of sleep is directly related to people's hypertension, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary embolism; Sleep disorders increase the risk of dementia; Sleep disorders are also closely related to mental diseases. If teenagers have some mental and psychological diseases, doctors should try their best to maintain their good sleep. In the process of experts' communication, preschool children are also the focus of attention. Studies have found that sleep problems can affect preschool children's ability to empathize and understand others. Sleep is the basic guarantee of health. Lu Lin lamented that every time he went to the clinic, middle school students and college students would come to see a doctor. The incidence of sleep disorders among adolescents in China is 26%, and some even drop out of school because of sleep disorders, affecting their growth. "Good sleep is also very important to prevent Alzheimer's disease." Lu Lin said. Sleep related data and research platforms are being built At present, many people do not know about sleep knowledge and sleep related diseases, and do not know to go to the sleep department for diagnosis and treatment. "Most people with sleep disorders are very anxious and painful. They are not feeling well and will go to the sleep department for a long time." Lu Lin said that this is why we hope to do more scientific popularization on world sleep day. He introduced that the National Sleep data and research platform is being established through the Chinese Medical Association. At present, the Sixth Hospital of Peking University is cooperating with relevant companies and platforms, and dozens of large hospitals have participated in it. "This can also promote the intersection of sleep medicine and multidisciplinary medicine." Lu Lin said. Han Demin admitted that there is still a dilemma in the treatment of sleep respiratory diseases in China. Most of the qualified sleep medical diagnosis and treatment centers are in big cities, and there is a lack of grass-roots specialists. "This is also the significance of establishing a large database and platform of Chinese Sleep Medicine, so that sleep doctors can share the information of each patient with their counterparts across the country through the platform and data, and guide patients through the data and platform." Lu Lin said. "Now there is a sleep monitoring bracelet, you can take it as a reference, but if you suspect that you have a problem with your sleep for a long time, you should go to the hospital to monitor your sleep and ask a professional doctor for diagnostic advice. At the same time, don't read electronic products before going to bed. You can read books and listen to soothing music. You should actively participate in outdoor sports during the day, especially primary and secondary school students. You must have outdoor activities, and the sleep quality will be better at night." Lu Lin suggested. (outlook new era)
