The saying that "sleeping in accordance with the direction of magnetic field, sleeping in the north-south direction and sleeping in the east-west direction will lead to insomnia" has a long history. March 25th is World Sleep Day, so this statement has been mentioned again.

In this regard, Zhang Xinjun, a member of the Sleep Disorders Collaboration Group of the Chinese Medical Association and the chief physician of the Sleep Medicine Department of Tianjin Anding Hospital, said that human beings are always in various magnetic fields, and the human body has its own magnetic field, but the human body's magnetic field is one tenth of the intensity of the earth's magnetic field, and the two have established a certain balance, so the influence of the earth's magnetic field on the human body is minimal. At present, there is no research that can confirm that the direction of sleep will affect sleep.

So what "stole" our sleep?

"Insomnia is mainly caused by sleep rhythm disorder, which is caused by people's improper behavior." For example, in Zhang Xinjun, people often change their schedules, stay up late and get up late, and do things unrelated to sleep in bed (reading books, playing mobile phones, etc.). ), these will weaken the relationship between bed and sleep, thus affecting the human rhythm and aggravating insomnia.

In addition, insomnia is also affected by age, genetic factors and sanitary environment. Mental illness and medication can also cause different degrees of sleep disorders.

Because there are many reasons for insomnia, the treatment of insomnia cannot be "one thousand people at a time", and targeted treatment programs should be given, including improving the sleeping environment, establishing a good life schedule, improving emotional state, appropriate drug treatment and physical therapy. ?
