According to a Chinese Sleep Research Society (CSRS) report, it takes Chinese people now two to three extra hours to fall asleep. The epidemic over the past year has caused sleep disorders to spread to more than 300 million Chinese. People are spending more time at home over the last year due to the epidemic. However, the average time to fall asleep is now two to three hours longer, according to CCTV.
Young Chinese workers are more likely to prioritize leisure time than sleep after long work hours, even though it is unhealthy. This behavior is a result of what?

It is not known where exactly this term originated. Although the first mention was made by this reporter in a blog posted on November 2018, it is likely that its origins predate this date.
