◇KBS2"Celeb Soldier's Secret"Lee Chan-won, who confessed his sleep disorder.

Insomnia of celebrities with irregular lives is once again a hot topic as singer Lee Chan-won, who appeared on KBS2 "Celeb Soldier's Secret", which premiered on the 10th, confessed his experience of being prescribed sleeping pills.

In the broadcast on this day, Lee Chan-won said, `I had been prescribed sleeping pills because of my busy schedule, but I did not take them. I was afraid I'd become dependent on medication"He confessed.

◇ MBC"I Live Alone" Gojun.

Actor Ko Jun also revealed a serious sleep disorder through MBC 'I Live Alone'. "I've tried muzzle tape, nose spray, go to the bathroom before bed, magnesium intake, etc. but it didn't go well, so I put it down completely and try to think that when I open my eyes, I open them up, and when I sleep, I sleep."The confession was followed by viewers' support for a good night's sleep.

◇ tvN "The Iron Girls" Seol In.

Actor Seol In-ah also asked about the reason for the triathlon challenge on tvN 'The Iron Girl Group'"I took sleeping pills for about 5 years, and I was angry why I had to sleep after taking sleeping pills. I think it's because I'm less tired, so I think the image of living a newborn life has been added by keeping myself busier and overworking my body. When I took sleeping pills, I couldn't concentrate on filming, so I stopped taking them, but my immunity collapsed as I couldn't sleep for three or four days" he once confided.

According to the National Health Insurance Service, the number of domestic sleep disorder patients jumped from 855,025 in 2018 to 1,098,819 last year. Long-term sleep deprivation can lead to accumulation of fatigue, as well as cardiovascular disease, obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and brain health deterioration.

In particular, in the case of celebrities with irregular life patterns, the circadian rhythm is shaken and the probability of experiencing sleep disorders is inevitably increased.

Among the general public, many shift workers who work at night often complain of sleep disorders.

It is recommended to minimize night shift as much as possible for better sleep, but if it is inevitable, it is recommended to keep the night shift space as bright as possible. Exposure to strong and bright light at the beginning of shift work can be effective, and high illumination must be maintained to allow deep sleep as melatonin hormones are released to boost immunity at work. Wearing sunglasses is also helpful when you get off work.

As much as you experience a 'social lag', it's worth considering taking 5-10 mg of melatonin before bedtime.
