What if you lay in bed for dozens of hours?

One-third of your life is for sleeping. The bed becomes an indispensable item for daily sleep. But what if you lay in bed for hours?

NASA used to pay for a volunteer to participate in experiments on the bed continuously.

In 2014, Drew Iwanicki was paid US $ 18,000 for 70 days in bed in his study of microscopic gravity and environment with weak gravity.

Drew Iwanicki lay in bed for 70 consecutive days.

The results of the experiment help scientists understand the effects of long-term flights on astronauts.

In the experiment, Drew was on a bed with a 6-degree inclination to the head to help blood flow like in a micro-gravity situation.

At the end of the experiment, Drew's heart rate suddenly increased by 150 times per minute and he collapsed.

But what if you keep lying down?

First of all, the pain of a long lie will appear. Body weight presses on blood vessels under the skin. If inserted for too long, the blood supply does not reach the tissues in the body. Over time, these areas will die.

After that, your body will become weaker and weaker. If not working, every week your muscles lose 10-15% of their strength. And after about a month, they lost half their strength.

Areas that are at risk of injury from lying too long.

In addition, the stamina of the body also decreased. You quickly feel more tired. Muscles and bones in the body gradually dissipate, their weight decreases.

Next is the weakened cardiovascular system . After every two days in bed, your heart rate increased by one beat per minute. The amount of blood in the body decreases day by day. The amount of oxygen in the blood to the cells gradually decreases, you feel more and more tired.

Moreover, negative psychological symptoms will appear . Other organs in the body are also under pressure. Kidney stones appear and accumulate, lungs are damaged .

Obviously sleeping after a hard working day is a great thing. However, don't lie too long, it's even more dangerous.
