In recent years, there have been news reports of sudden deaths of young people from time to time, and everyone is discussing what causes sudden deaths.
Among them, the relationship between staying up late and sudden death is more controversial.
Some believe that staying up late is one of the main causes of sudden death. While some people believe that staying up late has little to do with sudden death.
So, who is right and who is wrong?
First, let's look at the latter view. The latter view is that staying up late has little to do with sudden death. The main reason for this is that current evidence suggests that staying up late directly affects people's work status and productivity, however, there is no evidence that there is a direct relationship between staying up late and sudden death.
So, it's a purely evidentiary view. However, evidence always accumulates slowly, and when the evidence is insufficient at the beginning, and when there are many distractions in the evidence, the evidence is flawed and may not get the right results. In other words, the decision cannot be made solely on the basis of the evidence at this time. When the evidence is slowly enriched and the interfering factors are slowly eliminated, the evidence can be used at this time.
When the police solve a case, they also need to accumulate evidence, eliminate interference, and do all these things well, so that the suspect can be determined based on relevant evidence.
So, is the research evidence on the correlation between staying up late and sudden death flawed?
I think so. The reason is simple, as you know, the gold standard of evidence advocated by modern medicine is randomized controlled experiments. According to this line of thinking, if we want to determine the correlation and causality between staying up late and sudden death, we need to see whether sudden death will occur in the late stay group and those who do not stay up late in the same way as they can and without any other interference factors. But obviously, we can't do such experiments.
Some people may say, use animals for experiments!
It's not impossible, but there are differences between humans and animals. Just because a rat stays up late and dies doesn't mean that a person stays up late and dies; Just because a mouse stays up late and doesn't die doesn't mean that a person stays up late and won't die. On such a significant issue as sudden death or non-sudden death, there is still limited evidence that animal experiments can give.
Therefore, we can only start from the cases of sudden death that have occurred to find **. However, each person who has sudden death has a different living environment, different physical conditions, different underlying diseases, and different sleep conditions in the week before sudden death, in this case, it is estimated that many cases are needed before it is possible to draw a little valuable clue.
In other words, the existing evidence is most likely flawed. The results obtained from this evidence "still need further research".
Therefore, the purely evidentiary point of view cannot draw accurate and reliable conclusions for the time being. So, is there no solution to this problem? What is the relationship between staying up late and sudden death?
In fact, this problem can be well explained from the perspective of TCM theory.
Let's talk about the answer first, from the perspective of TCM theory, staying up late is the trigger for sudden death, but it is not the only factor. The main triggers of different sudden deaths are different, and staying up late may be the main factor of sudden death in this sudden death, but not the main factor of sudden death in that sudden death.
