Experimenting with sleep hours and sleeping late in the night, these are the things that may have serious health repercussions, says a new study that was published in the new issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. For 722 men and 764 women in the age group of 53 to 93 years in the study, the mean sleep hours was 7 hours in the night , with 27% of the people sleeping for six hours or less in the nights. Compared to those who slept for five hours or less, people who slept for 7 hours or more had less risk of developing diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance. One interesting result of the study was not only people who slept for 5 hours or less had a higher risk of diabetes and glucose intolerance, same was also true for people who slept for 9 hours or more.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that happens due to rising levels of sugar in the blood, and mostly is due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin function or both.
This may be the reason why often sleeping less is associated with high risk of cardiac arrest. The researchers feel that this probably also explains why doctors prescribe seven to eight hours of sleep in the night for maximum health benefits.
Evenning at 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating
unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the
antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration
should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If
during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed
state such as washing the dishes or monitoring
children doing their homework, this will have a
negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process
in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep
sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the
gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs.
Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for
cough sufferers during this time. Since the
detoxification process had reached the respiratory
tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as
not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you
should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small
intestine, you should be having breakfast at this
time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for
those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very
beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who
always skip breakfast, they should change their
habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late
until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will
disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals.
Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when
the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good
sleep and don’t sleep late.
