Sleeping late

I used to be a 'Night Owl' - sleep late and not used to go for bed till 2am or maybe much later sometimes. Well, it might be part of the reasons of TV stuff like football live matches, working late, studying or some research...etc.. It sounds pretty crazy to me but scary actually and worrying indeed as it's really really bad for health, chances are some 'good friends' (diseases) may be 'visiting' me one day if i don't change my sleeping cycle.

Well, I believed that a good rest and sound sleep is very important. If we don't sleep well, the toxic in our body will accumulate affecting our health and our mood following are the causes of liver damage !! (Geerrrr.....) and that's some bad lifestyle practices may cause liver damage probably:

=> Sleeping too late and waking up too late.
=> Not urinating in the morning.
=> Too much eating.
=> Skipping breakfast.
=> Consuming too much medication.
=> Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
=> Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. No fried foods when get tired unless.
=> Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver.

Maintaining a good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals and here's some good lifestyle practices below but wondering how many city folks can follow that exactly:

From 9-11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary or toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).


From 11pm-3am : detoxification process in the liver then follow by gall, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

From 3-5am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time.

From 5-7am : detoxification in the colon, we should empty our bowel.

From 7-10am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, we should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Like it or not, it's advised to have breakfast latest by 10am rather than no meal to stomach at all.

In conclusion, sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Apart from that, from 12-4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.
Therefore, I try not to sleep later than 1am and get enough rest at ;east 7-8 hours whenever it's possible. Hopefully i can overcome my sleep-late cycle one day. God bless my health !
