聽到歌手方大同離世，我第一時間的回應是：又是不睡覺惹的禍。

長期關注國內外歌手訊息，每一位歌手的年輕早逝都被我以「輕視睡眠症候群」註解。

美國歌手葛倫坎伯（Glen Campbell）晚年罹患失智，特別有感受是因為熟悉他的所有歌曲，我認知到年輕時長期運用夜晚創作的人都在預約阿茲海默，當然，這絕對是冰山的一小角。

人類的傲慢被大自然懲戒，夜間放棄睡眠是無數超級大冰山上方的無數小冰山。

長期在第一線鼓吹尊重身體意識，早期聚焦在廢物的囤積，健康意識逐漸擴大之餘，領悟到比飲食習慣還可怕的風暴，人類除了輕視睡眠，也輕視壓力和藥物的殺傷力。

奪走健康的殺手就在你我身旁，都是為了生活，都是為了要賺錢，我們扛起了壓力，堆起了情緒，我們捨棄了睡眠，背起違逆法則的行囊。

 

身體失衡是結果，醫生的診斷是結果，我們所面對的都是結果，甘願成為藥罐子依然是結果。

結果的世界沒有真相，結果的環境創造更壞的結果，結果的教育導致民眾完全連結不到原因，因應結果而存在的商法導致人類把身體的敗壞解讀成意外的風暴。

違反校規被記過，違反家規被處罰，違反身體規矩的結果是葬送掉身體重生的力道，生命終止是最重的懲戒。

醫學教育所不重視的方向逐一對人體展開反撲，依據自然法則和晝夜節律而存在的生物設定是醫學看不見的真相，某個角度不是醫學的錯，他們的責任和方向看不到生物設定的章節。

民眾必須認知崇尚醫療的後果，所有善後的努力終將功虧一簣，因為方向不對，因為遠離了根本。

醫生認知中的症狀舒緩不是療癒，醫生認知中的處方不是身體所需要的解方，放大看人類世界都在上演的這齣戲，戲的名稱叫亡命之途。

 

醫院不可能沒有急診室，醫院不可能沒有病房，醫院不可能沒有值夜班的醫護，意思是必須有人為民眾對身體的漠視善後，民眾犧牲的不是睡眠，是健康，民眾放棄的不是健康，是性命。

為了照顧病人的健康而失去健康，疫情期間所發生的，為了救病患而喪生的醫護只是特殊個案，真相是醫護都在犧牲，他們選擇這份工作而承擔身體的重度耗損。

醫護示範夜晚不睡覺的生活型態，各行各業都有樣學樣，其實不刻意學，這是一種集體偏見，晚上不睡覺可以是一種選項。

創作工作選擇在夜間進行不是一種現象，而是一種生態，藝術家、設計師、建築師、作家都很習慣日夜顛倒，夜間便利店因而存在。

在投資對應獲利的思維中，這是最典型的得不償失，生命無價，健康用錢買不到，不論賺多少或領多少，都是聚焦小而損失大。

這是人類有電、有照明的必然結果，從生物設定觀看人類的行為趨勢，從利他的生物設定看到成就大我的小我情操。

 

在養生的教條中成長，依稀記得那些可以吃和不可以吃的警告，當然也不乏必須多吃和必需少吃的提醒，我的覺悟告訴我這是營養學的誤解，絕非身體的提示。

重視營養補充和運動的人突然倒地不起，事後諸葛的討論繞過了睡眠，也避開了藥物副作用，當然也不會討論身體的時間軸沒有被妥善維護。

不重視睡眠抵銷所有的努力，大量用藥耗損大量生命力，大自然的法則不容侵犯，大自然的力量不容忽視。

睡好覺所延伸的正面元素充填在每一件生命工程中，學習、記憶和免疫力，思考、應變和人際力，情緒、平衡和療癒力，我們長期看輕養生的本質。

說到這，多少人開始思考不好睡的事實和現況，那頑劣的大腦意識必須回歸對自己身體的尊重，重建失控的腸道生態方為上策，認識身體的時間軸方為和身體妥協的大方向。

每天身體提醒就寢的指令一到，和睡眠無關的念頭就必須退去，在夜晚的陪襯中，聰明智慧毫無用武之地，縱容慾念終將一敗塗地。

 

（睡眠是把健康和身體連結在一起的黃金鎖鏈）

 

When I heard about the passing of singer Khalil Fong, my first reaction was: Another tragedy caused by lack of sleep.

Having followed both domestic and international singers for a long time, I have come to label every premature death of a singer as a case of “Sleep Neglect Syndrome.”

American singer Glen Campbell suffered from dementia in his later years. This struck me deeply because I was familiar with all his songs. I realized that those who spent their youth creating during the night were, in a way, pre-booking Alzheimer’s. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Human arrogance is punished by nature. Giving up sleep at night is one of the countless small icebergs floating atop a massive super iceberg.

I have long advocated for respecting bodily awareness. Initially, my focus was on hoarding waste, but as my awareness of health expanded, I came to understand that an even greater storm loomed ahead. Beyond just neglecting sleep, humanity also underestimates the destructive power of stress and medication.

The threats to our health are right beside us. We bear stress and accumulate emotions, all in the name of survival and making a living. We sacrifice sleep and carry the burden of defying natural laws.

The Consequence of Disregarding Sleep

Physical imbalance is the result. A doctor’s diagnosis is the result. Everything we face is merely a result. Even willingly becoming dependent on medication is just another result.

A world obsessed with outcomes has no real truth. A results-driven environment breeds even worse consequences. A results-oriented education system disconnects people entirely from root causes. Business models that cater to consequences have led humanity to misinterpret bodily deterioration as an unpredictable storm.

Breaking school rules results in demerits. Breaking family rules results in punishment. Breaking the body’s rules results in losing its ability to regenerate. The ultimate penalty is the termination of life itself.

Medical education neglects crucial aspects of human health, and the backlash against the body has begun. The biological settings that follow natural laws and circadian rhythms remain invisible to modern medicine. From one perspective, this is not the fault of medicine—it simply does not account for the chapters of biological design in its scope.

People must recognize the consequences of worshipping medicine. No matter how much effort is put into damage control, it will ultimately be in vain—because the direction is wrong, because we have strayed too far from the root cause.

What doctors perceive as symptom relief is not true healing. What doctors prescribe is not the solution the body truly needs. If we zoom out and observe the bigger picture, humanity is collectively acting out a play called “The Road to Ruin.”

The Collective Sacrifice of Sleep

Hospitals cannot exist without emergency rooms. Hospitals cannot function without inpatient wards. Hospitals cannot operate without medical staff working night shifts. This means that someone must clean up the mess caused by society’s disregard for health. But what the public sacrifices is not just sleep—it is their health. What people abandon is not just health—it is life itself.

During the pandemic, healthcare workers who died saving patients were seen as rare tragedies. But the truth is, all healthcare workers are sacrificing. They chose this profession knowing it would take a heavy toll on their bodies.

Medical professionals normalize the lifestyle of staying up all night, and other industries follow suit. But even without deliberate imitation, this has become a collective bias—staying up late is seen as an option.

Working on creative projects at night is not just a phenomenon; it is an ecosystem. Artists, designers, architects, and writers are accustomed to reversing day and night, which is why 24-hour convenience stores exist.

From an investment perspective, this is the most classic case of losing more than one gains. Life is priceless. Health cannot be bought with money. No matter how much one earns or receives, it is still a case of focusing on the small while losing the big.

This is the inevitable outcome of human civilization having electricity and artificial lighting. When we examine human behavioral trends from a biological perspective, we see that the drive for altruism stems from our biological design to preserve the collective at the cost of the individual.

The Misconception of Wellness

Growing up with health-conscious teachings, I vaguely remember the warnings about what should and should not be eaten, as well as reminders about what we must eat more of and what we must eat less of. But my awakening has shown me that this is a nutritional misunderstanding—not a genuine signal from the body.

People who prioritize nutrition and exercise can still suddenly collapse. Yet post-mortem discussions rarely touch on sleep, avoid addressing the side effects of medication, and completely ignore the fact that the body’s internal time axis was not properly maintained.

Disregarding sleep negates all efforts toward health. Excessive medication drains vital energy. Nature’s laws cannot be violated. Nature’s power cannot be ignored.

The positive effects of good sleep permeate every aspect of life—learning, memory, and immunity; thinking, adaptability, and social skills; emotional balance and healing. Yet we have long underestimated the essence of true wellness.

At this point, how many people have started to reflect on their own struggles with sleep? That stubborn consciousness of the brain must return to respecting the body. Rebuilding the gut microbiome is the best strategy. Understanding the body’s internal time axis is the first step toward reconciliation with oneself.

When the body signals that it is time to sleep, all thoughts unrelated to rest must retreat. At night, intelligence holds no power, and indulging in desires will ultimately lead to complete failure.
