Both men and women’s hormones have a common characteristic, which is cyclical changes. Hormone secretion is high during the day and low at night, so if the brain cortex is stimulated during a period when hormone secretion should be low, it will lead to excessive secretion of gland hormones. Over time, the biological clock will be disrupted, leading to the disorder of male and female hormone secretion, naturally affecting reproductive function.
Why does staying up late often affect male fertility?
1. Men staying up late for a long time disrupt the hormone levels in the body, causing endocrine disturbances. Low testosterone and high estrogen levels can lead to infertility.
2. Men staying up late frequently lowers the body’s immune system, making the body susceptible to various diseases. Coupled with unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits while staying up late, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming fried and oily foods, can harm the kidneys and consequently affect fertility.
3. Staying up late often involves using smartphones and computers, exposing oneself to prolonged electromagnetic radiation which can affect male sperm, thus impacting fertility.
4. Prolonged sitting during late nights can compress the lower body, obstructing male sperm production and consequently affecting fertility.
What are the effects of men staying up late on fertility?
1. It can potentially lead to infertility.
Staying up late frequently while being in a state of fatigue for extended periods can cause significant harm to the kidneys in men, resulting in kidney qi deficiency and insufficient essence, leading to a potential imbalance of yin and yang, manifesting as kidney deficiency symptoms affecting sperm production function and potentially causing male infertility.
2. It can lead to sperm abnormalities.
Nighttime is the optimal time for the human body’s organs, tissues, and cells to self-repair. Normal sleep allows for proper repair, whereas staying up late can disrupt the body’s self-repair processes, potentially leading to an increased rate of sperm abnormalities and other serious issues.
3. Physiological dysfunction
If men are in a state of excessive fatigue and tension for prolonged periods, it can lead to chronic fatigue, with continuously accumulating and deepening harm, gradually transforming from occasional physiological dysfunction into regular, and potentially permanent physiological dysfunction.
In addition, low sperm vitality can also affect eugenics. Typically, eugenics refers to the perfect combination of the best sperm and eggs, but it’s challenging for men with reduced sperm vitality to achieve eugenics. Therefore, men who often stay up late should take caution and develop healthy lifestyle habits daily. If feeling unwell, they should promptly seek medical attention.
It is recommended that men engage in regular exercise to enhance physical fitness. Activities such as playing badminton, hiking, and walking can help strengthen the body and improve blood circulation to the testes, increasing sperm vitality. It is also important to maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid staying up late.
