Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that causes peptic ulcers, accounting for 80%. Staying up late will affect the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the digestive tract, creating favorable conditions for HP bacteria to grow.
The presence of HP bacteria is the cause of stomach pain, peptic ulcer disease and an increased risk of stomach cancer.
Staying up late often seriously affects health in general and digestive system in particular. So the advice is that you should sleep before 11 pm and should not eat late after 8pm. Poor sleep quality predicts a greater risk of PUD recurrence.
Accurate diagnosis and effective treatments should, therefore, be provided for older adults afflicted with poor sleep, particularly for those who previously had PUD. Ulcer pain can wake you up at night and cause problems with your sleep, so getting a good night’s rest is important for preventing and managing peptic ulcers. It is equally important to include sleep assessment as an integral part while dealing with these patients.
