Poor sleep is a common issue among many office workers—sometimes, they even stay up late or struggle with insomnia due to work demands. Surprisingly, though they haven’t slept at all that night, they don’t feel sleepy at all; instead, they feel unusually energized. But why is that?

Actually, it’s dopamine in our bodies at work. When we stay up late, the brain releases dopamine, which boosts myocardial contractility, increases cardiac output and blood flow, and ultimately gives the body a sense of excitement. However, prolonged sleep deprivation can disrupt the endocrine system, making it harder to concentrate, weakening the immune system, and raising the risk of illness. In severe cases, this could even lead to excessive strain on the heart, significantly increasing the likelihood of sudden death.

After being forced to stay up late, how should we adjust our bodies to quickly regain our energy?

1. After staying up late, gastrointestinal function tends to decline. Therefore, your diet should focus on lighter, easily digestible foods with minimal oil and salt—such as porridge, eggs, and dairy products—to replenish energy and ensure the proper functioning of all body organs.

2. After staying up late, the most important remedy is to catch up on sleep. It’s best to take a day off and go home to get some rest—before bed, you can enjoy a warm bath to boost circulation throughout your body. Listening to soothing light music can help calm your nerves and ease tension, making it easier to fall asleep.

3. Long-term sleep deprivation can lead to dry eyes, blurred vision, and other issues. To alleviate these symptoms, you can apply a warm compress to your eyes, which helps improve blood circulation and relax the muscles around the eye area.

4. Regular exercise is beneficial for boosting your physical fitness, but you should avoid intense workouts for a day or two after staying up late. Pushing yourself too hard during this time could potentially lead to heart issues and increase the risk of sudden death.

Good sleep is the source of health. Paying attention to sleep quality means caring about your quality of life—and prioritizing sleep is, ultimately, prioritizing your health.
