1. Problems caused by insomnia include:

Regular lack of sleep will make people feel anxious and worried, and reduce immunity, which will lead to various diseases such as colds, neurasthenia, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. Medical researchers have found that lack of sleep can also cause increased blood cholesterol levels, increasing the chance of heart disease. Most of the cell division in the human body occurs during sleep. Lack of sleep or sleep disorders can affect the normal division of cells, which may cause cancer cell mutations and lead to the occurrence of cancer. Generally speaking, people of different ages need different amounts of sleep per day. Adults need to sleep 7 to 8 hours, and middle school students should sleep 8 to 9 hours a day.

2. Influence on the brain’s creative thinking:

Researchers once divided 24 college students into two groups and asked them to take a test. The two groups got the same test scores. Then, one group of students was asked to stay awake overnight, while the other group slept normally, and then they took the test. The results showed that the test scores of students in the no sleep group were much lower than those of students in the normal sleep group.

Experts remind: In daily life, patients should master more self-regulation methods so that when they find the disease, they can get timely adjustment, maintain a calm mentality, and look at the disease optimistically.
