These pillow items shorten your life by 10 years

For most people, one-third of their lives are spent in bed, so we can already imagine how important sleep is. There is no doubt that human sleep is the most complete, systematic and effective way to rest, and it is also an important part of scientific health preservation. But if you ignore some small things in sleep, it will be bad for your health and even shorten your life by decades.

1. Wear a watch to sleep

Some people like to wear a watch to sleep, which will not only shorten the service life of the watch, but also be detrimental to health. Because watches, especially luminous watches, emit radium radiation, although the amount is extremely small, experts believe that long-term accumulation can lead to adverse consequences.

2. Sleeping with your teeth on

Some people are accustomed to sleeping with dentures on, and often accidentally swallow them into the esophagus while sleeping. The iron hooks of the dentures may pierce the aortic arch next to the esophagus, causing heavy bleeding or even life-threatening. Therefore, it is best for people who wear dentures to remove their dentures and clean them before going to bed, which is beneficial to oral hygiene and allows them to sleep safely.

3. Wear a mask to sleep

The Hawaii Institute for Civilization Diseases in the United States surveyed more than 5,000 women and found that women who wear bras for more than 12 hours a day are more than 20 times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who wear them for a short time or not at all. Women wear bras to show beauty or protect their breasts, but there is no need for this when sleeping at night.

4. Sleeping with your phone

Some people put their mobile phones next to their heads when they sleep at night for the convenience of making calls. American expert James Cook pointed out that various electronic devices, such as color TVs, refrigerators, mobile phones, etc., release a large amount of electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths and frequencies during use and operation, forming an electronic fog that affects the human nervous system and physiological functions. Although the amount released is extremely small, it is necessary to prevent it.

5. Sleeping with makeup on

Some women, especially young women, are often too lazy to remove makeup before going to bed. You must know that sleeping with residual makeup on will clog your skin pores, cause sweat secretion problems, hinder cell respiration, and in the long run will induce acne and damage your appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to remove makeup and wash your face before going to bed. This can promptly remove the irritation of residual makeup to the face, allowing the skin to fully breathe, which can not only keep the skin moisturized, but also help you fall asleep early.

6. Sleeping with wet hair

Western medicine: Sleeping with wet hair can easily cause dizziness and nausea

People who have the habit of washing their hair before going to bed at night are most likely to get sick if they do not dry their hair carefully, causing a large amount of water to remain on the surface of the scalp. This is especially true in winter when the temperature is low at night and they go directly to bed. In the middle of the night, you will feel numbness in part of your scalp, accompanied by a dull pain. The next morning, you may experience unexplained headaches or dizziness, and in severe cases, nausea. If things go on like this for a long time, it can also cause a disease called "subscalp venous plexus inflammation".

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Sleeping with wet hair can easily lead to catching a cold

During the day, human Yang energy is weakest at midnight. After a day of exertion, people easily feel tired, which indicates that the activity of the body's "Wei Qi" has decreased, that is, the ability to resist wind and cold has decreased. Therefore, if you wash your hair with hot water before going to bed, the dilated capillaries will be stimulated by the outside world, and the yang energy in the head will condense when it encounters cold, which will cause the body to freeze. As a result, the capillaries in the upper respiratory tract will reflexively contract, reducing local blood flow and lowering the resistance of the upper respiratory tract. This will allow viruses or bacteria that have already existed in the local area to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, grow and multiply, causing an upper respiratory tract infection, and thus cold symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, and even fever. Therefore, if you go to bed with wet hair, you are more likely to catch a cold.

7. Taking "someone else's wife" to bed

You might wake up and be beaten to death by someone!

Of course, the last one is just for entertainment, and I believe smart people would not do this. As for the first six types of pillow items, don’t take them lightly. Once you develop this sleeping habit, this bad influence will accompany you for the remaining 1/3 of your life, and the harm will be subtle. If you want to live a long life, health preservation is the key. If you want to preserve your health, don’t touch these health taboos first.
