Chen Danhong works in Beijing. She says her day really just starts after about 8 pm. “When I get home, I’m feeling tired. But that quickly turns to excitement. I start to use my phone, read books or watch movies. I’ll be playing games and keeping on saying to myself, ‘This is the last one’ before I find that it’s 2 o’clock,” she said.
For most of us like Chen, staying up late becomes a way of life. We know that it’s detrimental to our health, but we just can’t help ourselves.
Nanguo Morning News did a study. 2,000 people took part in it. 43% of them said they go to bed late every day. They think only the time before they go to bed belongs to(属于) them. Only 2% said they never go to bed late. 64% said they go to bed late because they watch TV, read books or use their phones.
“People think that they are making up for(弥补) the day at night, so they stay up late,” says Yan Lixin, a doctor in the Department of Mental Health of the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University.
