Does sleeping for 8 hours count as staying up late if you go to bed late and get up late?

When it comes to sleeping, there are basically two major factions. One is the "early to bed, early to rise faction" headed by parents, and the other is the "late to bed, late to rise faction" headed by young people.

Whenever a holiday comes, the two factions will "clash", and many people have this question: Does the "late bed and late rise faction" count as staying up late?

Many people know that there is an optimal sleep duration, but is there a fixed time limit for this duration? For example, if they both sleep for 8 hours, some people think that they are much happier if they go to bed at 2am and get up at 10am than if they go to bed at 11am and get up at 7am.

In this regard, a large number of netizens said: "Regular sleep does not count as staying up late."

Many people have also personally tested that "early to bed and early to rise is better than late to bed and late to rise"

Strictly speaking, insisting on going to bed late and getting up late does not count as staying up late, but as "working people", it is basically difficult for us to do so. After all, the sun will not accompany us to "adjust to the jet lag".

The two key factors that affect sleep are "regularity" and "sufficient sleep". For the same 8-hour sleep, going to bed early and getting up early is more in line with the human body's biological rhythm; while going to bed late and getting up late may cause biological rhythm disorders. Generally speaking, the human body begins to secrete melatonin after 21:00. It is best for us to follow the biological rhythm and read books or listen to music from 21:00 to 23:00 to relax and get ready for sleep.

It is not advisable to stay up late and then make up for sleep. It is better to go to bed according to the real time zone.

According to CCTV News, the "China Sleep Research Report (2022)" was released on March 18.

The report shows that in the past 10 years, the Chinese people have gone to bed more than two hours later, and the average sleep time has been reduced from 8.5 hours in 2012 to 7.06 hours in 2021. According to surveys, only 35% of Chinese people get enough sleep for 8 hours.

Among them, sleep problems are particularly prominent among new mothers, students, and working professionals. Factors that affect sleep duration are: delayed sleep due to looking at mobile phones or surfing the Internet, work or study time squeezing out sleep time, and sleep disorders such as insomnia.

In this regard, experts recommend that everyone should go to bed between 10 and 11 pm, and no later than 12 am, and the best sleep time can be maintained at 7 to 8 hours.

If you feel energetic after waking up, it means your sleep is healthy.

Experts say that to solve these problems, on the one hand, we need to maintain a good mental state and be optimistic, and on the other hand, we need to live a relatively regular life.
