The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped (or scute-like) gland located in the neck 2-3 centimeters below the Adam's apple. Weighing only 20-30 grams in adults, it is the largest endocrine gland that controls the normal operation of various organs and tissues, hence it is called the "vital gate" of the neck.

更可怕的是，熬夜不论长期短期，只要是不规律作息，患各种病的风险都会大大提升。研究表明，短期睡眠不足会导致“脑雾”（思维不清晰）、视力恶化、驾驶障碍和记忆障碍。长此以往，会导致肥胖、胰岛素抵抗和心脏病。

Studies show that such short-term sleep deprivation leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, impaired driving, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity, insulin resistance, and heart disease.

《美国心脏协会新闻》（American Heart Association News）的研究表明，熬夜会增加心血管疾病与癌症的发病率。

睡眠时间少于六小时、且患有高血压、2型糖尿病患者的中年人群体，死于心脏病或中风的风险会增加。

Middle-aged people with high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or stroke could be at increased risk for cancer and early death if they get less than six hours of sleep a night.

Sleep-deprived people with a history of heart disease or stroke had three times the increased risk of dying from cancer during the study that spanned three decades.

Studies on animals have shown that the fluid, called CSF, can wash harmful proteins, including those implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, out of the brain. The new results give heft to the idea that a similar power wash happens in sleeping people.

熬夜会“变傻”是真的！

For the chronically sleep deprived, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern, says Lawrence J. Epstein, medical director of the Harvard-affiliated Sleep Health Centers.

哈佛大学附属睡眠健康中心的医学主任劳伦斯·J·爱泼斯坦表示，对长期睡眠不足的人来说，需要几个月的放松，才能恢复自然的睡眠模式。
