Staying up late generally refers to irregular sleep at night, lack of sleep, or not sleeping all night, but does not include situations where there is no way to fall asleep due to insomnia.
But if you have been sleeping at 4 a.m. and starting at 12 noon, you have become accustomed to the life of day and night, although it is true that you do not sleep all night, but this kind of staying up late can only be called "going to bed late", or "delaying the sleep phase".In today's society, some young people will also have revenge staying up late, that is, staying up late to make up for their psychological discomfort or develop their own sense of superiority.
Moreover, long-term chronic sleep deprivation is more harmful than acute all-night stay-ups. For example, reducing sleep by 2 hours a day for two weeks and not sleeping for 48 hours can reduce the cognitive function of the brain, but chronic sleep deprivation requires more recovery time than staying up all night.
In fact, catching up on sleep will definitely be better than not making up for it, but this cannot fully compensate for the harm caused by staying up late.
Some studies have found that after staying up late, the brain metabolism is abnormal, even after making up for sleep, it can only partially recover the abnormal metabolism of the brain caused by staying up late, and even in some brain areas, there will be basically no improvement in making up sleep.
