People who shouldn't stay up late to watch the World Cup
The World Cup season is always captivating. If you're healthy, feel free to indulge in the thrill of football, but if you have health problems, you must weigh your passion for the sport against your health, or even your life.
Cardiovascular patients
Many people with cardiovascular disease are football fans who want to immerse themselves in the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of the World Cup, but they are also concerned about whether it is safe for them to watch football given their heart condition.

Medical experts have previously advised fans with cardiovascular conditions to exercise caution when watching football, especially high-stakes matches involving their favorite team.
Because excessive excitement, exhilaration, and nervousness during a match can strongly stimulate and affect the cardiovascular system, causing the heart to beat faster and stronger, blood pressure to rise, and arrhythmias to occur; arteries are also at risk of constriction and narrowing. Intense emotional states can cause angina, and even myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease.
Staying up late to watch World Cup football matches leads to sleep deprivation, causing fatigue and weakness. For people with cardiovascular disease, the tolerance threshold for sleep deprivation is reduced, and the severity of the harm is greater: prolonged sleep deprivation can lead to stress, increased blood pressure, arrhythmias, and even stroke or heart attack.
Cardiologists do not recommend giving up watching football. Many studies show that a cheerful and optimistic attitude is good for overall health, including for people with cardiovascular disease. However, heart patients should only watch football purely for entertainment, avoiding betting, and refraining from consuming alcohol, tobacco, coffee, or strong tea.Women with health problems
Many studies show that women who stay up late have a higher risk of developing cancer compared to those who don't. This is because the light you get when you stay up late prevents your body from producing melatonin – a hormone that is only produced when you sleep in darkness.
This substance helps the body fight against breast cancer. A deficiency increases the risk of breast cancer. Frequent insomnia leads to low spirits, weakened immunity, mental stress, difficulty concentrating, and impaired memory. Lack of sleep also causes high blood pressure because it keeps nerve cells in a state of excitement.
Staying up late disrupts the body's biological clock, interrupting hormone metabolism, which is one of the causes of uterine fibroids... Frequent late nights, causing stress and nervous disorders, are also one of the causes of irregular menstruation. Therefore, women with nervous exhaustion, high blood pressure, uterine fibroids, or menstrual disorders should not stay up late watching football.
Patients with stomach pain

Before developing stomach pain, staying up late is a contributing factor, but once you already have stomach pain, it worsens the condition. Staying up late to watch football while eating and drinking forces the stomach to work harder, exacerbating the problem. Furthermore, staying up late and consuming stimulants like coffee, tea, cigarettes, and alcohol all contribute to stomach ulcers.
Furthermore, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic nephritis, physical weakness, and nervous exhaustion should not stay up late to watch football because they need rest and to maintain their health to prevent their conditions from worsening.
