Warning against the spread of "nightlife syndrome"

Excessive and uncontrolled "night life" can cause people to suffer from various physical discomforts and even diseases. In recent years, more and more people have developed certain diseases due to excessive nightlife, which medical experts call "nightlife syndrome."

1. What is nightlife syndrome?

In modern life, dance halls, bars, entertainment cities, nightclubs and other nightlife venues, while bringing enjoyment to people who work hard, also quietly endanger people's health.

The lights in the luxurious ballroom change and rotate at high speed, which is dazzling; the dimness and blurriness make the eyes unable to withstand the changes, resulting in vision loss. An overly intense nightlife can also disrupt the body's normal biological clock and harm the brain's central nervous system, causing various discomforts and diseases.

2. Characteristics of nightlife syndrome

According to reports, "nightlife syndrome" is related to alcohol and has the characteristics of "three mores and one late". "One late" means that the peak period for medical treatment is postponed. In the early years, the peak period for medical treatment at night was generally around 10 o'clock, but now the peak period has been extended to the second half of the night.

The “three mores” are mainly reflected in:

First, alcohol poisoning caused by excessive drinking has increased significantly compared with a few years ago;

Second, the number of trauma patients caused by fighting has increased;

Third, the number of cases caused by traffic accidents has increased. Many people entertain themselves and drink too much at night, and accidentally hit others or are hit by others while riding a bicycle or driving on the way home.

3. Specific manifestations of nightlife syndrome

In recent years, the risk factors of excessive "night life" have also increased significantly. In outpatient emergency departments, there are often people who have no organic lesions and have recently felt tired and weak and come to seek medical treatment. Most of them suffer from neurotic insomnia and cardiovascular diseases. Among these patients, there are those who accompany guests to drink at night due to business entertainment, some who surf the Internet all night, and some who are crazy about mahjong and poker... After these people finish their nighttime activities, their minds will be in an excited state for a long time and they will find it difficult to fall asleep. Without enough sleep, you will naturally feel sluggish during the day.

For those who already suffer from heart disease and high blood pressure, the fatigue of "night life" is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, leading to a significant increase in the incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke and even sudden death. It is not advisable for young people to have an unlimited "night life". If they do so for a long time, it will lead to increased blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure, and will also cause great damage to the liver.

4. Experts’ warnings on nightlife syndrome

Hospital experts remind and warn the general public that in today's increasingly material and culturally rich world, we must learn to live a civilized and healthy modern life, and the spread of the "nightlife syndrome" should cause us to be highly vigilant.
