People spend one-third of their time in bed.

The bed is a place for sleeping and resting.

(Isn’t this nonsense?)

But as laziness continues to grow,

Many young people even started to joke that they were so lazy that they were too lazy to even get out of bed.

This leads to one direct result - you can do anything in bed!

The key is what you do.

It is not what we think is healthy, and it is bound to affect normal sleep.

However, studies have shown that poor sleep is more harmful to the body than lack of sleep or too much sleep. Data show that people with long-term poor sleep quality have an average life expectancy several years or even more than ten years shorter than those with normal sleep.

Therefore, if you want to improve your sleep quality, don’t do these 5 things in bed!

First, eat in bed

For some foodies, eating in bed is a great enjoyment.

However, from a medical point of view, the biggest problem with eating in bed is that it is dirty!

As the saying goes, "flies stare at seamless eggs." When eating in bed, some food residues are inevitable, such as carbonated drinks, juice, cakes or cream biscuits, etc. These foods are often "hot cakes" in the eyes of ants, cockroaches or flies.

These harmful insects will inevitably bring some bacteria when they stay on the bed, providing a good breeding ground for mites. Bedding such as sheets and pillowcases will also cause some skin diseases to the human body.

In addition, if you do not clean your mouth in time before going to bed, it will damage your teeth and increase the proliferation of bacteria.

Even if we take a step back, if you eat before going to bed and don't consume the food in time, you will gain weight!

Second, watch TV in bed

Since developing the bad habit of lying down and watching TV, many people have been getting further and further down the path of myopia...

When you lie down and watch TV, your eye muscles will contract spasmodically , causing swelling and pain in your eye sockets or eyeballs , your conjunctiva will become congested, and your eyes will shed tears from time to time due to fatigue.

Over time, intraocular pressure will increase, vision will become blurred and deteriorate, and some people may even develop strabismus.

So, although watching TV in bed is comfortable, it is still painful for your eyes. If you really want to catch up on a TV series, it is recommended to adjust your sitting posture, control the distance from the TV, and the viewing time.

Of course, the easiest way is to not play TV in the bedroom!

Third, work in bed

Men who work seriously are the sexiest, but I don’t know if working in bed is sexy, but it is true that it is uncomfortable.

Most people who work in bed are typing on laptops. This will directly damage the cervical vertebrae and joints. If it continues for a long time, it will inevitably cause cervical spondylosis and lumbar strain .

So, it’s the same old saying - the bed is for sleeping, go where you should work, and don’t do anything else where you should sleep!

Sleeping with your pet

As a pet owner, if you encounter a nocturnal animal, such as a cat, it is recommended not to sleep in the same bed with it. Otherwise, these pets will make a fuss around you while you sleep, preventing you from getting a good night's sleep!

If your pet is not a nocturnal animal, then it is recommended that you do a good job of cleaning, make sure you are not allergic to pet hair, do not have problems such as poor sleep due to sleeping together, and do not mind the space on the bed being occupied. In this case, there is basically no problem sleeping together.

Fifth, playing with your phone in bed

The issue of playing with mobile phones has always been controversial in medicine.

According to traditional viewpoint, it is easy to ignore time while playing with mobile phone in bed, which causes many people to stay up late involuntarily!

In addition, the blue light emitted by electronic devices will affect the secretion of the human body's sleep hormone melatonin , which will disrupt a person's biological clock and make it difficult to fall asleep.

So, in order to have a good sleep, it is recommended that you don’t bring your mobile phone to bed!

In fact, we understand the logic, but the problem is that these habits are really hard to change.

Of course, the above five things vary from person to person.

If these habits really affect sleep,

Then I suggest you consider making some changes.

After all, if you want to have a good night's sleep, the most important thing is to rely on yourself!
