#健康过大年 #
If you've always been used to going to bed early, it's hard to stay up until 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve. No one falls asleep early on New Year's Eve because no one wants to miss the grand New Year's Eve ceremony. This year, you must stay up until the countdown to the New Year!
Method One: Stay Active
(1) Find someone to chat with. If you're greeting the New Year with friends or family, chatting can help you beat drowsiness. You have to keep talking to others and keep your brain active.
- Listen to other people's stories.
- Listen to other people tell jokes.
- Talk to other people about their hobbies
(2) Maintain a standing posture. You can dance, walk around the house, or compete push-ups with friends. As long as you don't sit or lie down, you can do anything. If the body feels very comfortable, you start dozing off and then falling asleep completely.
(3) Do interesting things. You can play games with friends or family, or play pranks. Everyone took turns saying their New Year's plans. As long as it can make you think continuously, so that the body does not idle.
- If your city allows it, setting off fireworks is a very exciting activity. However, you must be extra careful to look after young children.
- There's also a very interesting activity, which is to get everyone to pose in a funny pose and then take pictures with their phones.
(4) Help with the work. Go help the chef prepare food, or become a bartender and make a cocktail for everyone. You can also offer to clean up. Not only will this win favors, but it will also stimulate your brain and keep you awake at all times.
Method two: Fight sleepiness
(1) Use caffeine to combat drowsiness. Caffeine stimulates neurotransmitters, which drive away drowsiness and keep people awake. When you're feeling tired, grab a cup of coffee or other caffeinated beverage. Try not to consume caffeine in the days leading up to the New Year, as excessive intake will weaken the effects of caffeine.
- Most sodas contain caffeine.
- Energy drinks such as Red Bull also contain a lot of caffeine.
- Some dark chocolate contains caffeine.
- Although this method is effective, it has a certain harm to the body. Do not consume caffeine regularly at night, because disturbing the sleep cycle is not good for the health of the human body.
(2) Change body temperature. Lower the body temperature and put the body into a state of alertness. Low temperatures immediately stimulate energy in the body and mind.
- Pour cold water on your face.
- Take a quick shower. Turn the water from cold to hot and then back to cold water. Doing so awakens the sleepy body and improves blood circulation.
- Drinking a cold drink or chewing on ice cubes has a similar effect.
(3) Turn on the lights. It is difficult for people to fall asleep in a brightly lit room. So, the brighter your environment is, the better.
- In order not to affect other people, you'd better hide in a room where no one is and turn on all the lights there.
(4) Listen to music. Lift your spirits with cheerful songs. Try to turn the volume up as much as possible. [4]
- If you have someone else around, it is recommended that you wear headphones.
- Soothing music can make you more sleepy the more you listen.
(5) Breathe fresh air. If you spend New Year's Eve with a lot of people, you may be crowded with people. Crowds can raise temperatures and humidity. In such an environment, people are easily sleepy. So, go outside for fresh air and recharge your sleepy body!
(6) Watch movies. Enjoy a very interesting movie that will fully stimulate your senses. Good action movies can drive away all the sleepy bugs, so that you are completely immersed in the wonderful plot of the movie.
- Don't choose movies that are too long or too slow-paced. If the movie is too long and the plot is too complicated, it will be difficult for you to keep up with the development of the plot, and the brain will become tired.
(7) Apply cooling oil. The smell of mint awakens your senses. Apply some cooling oil or oil to the hands, temples, and upper lip areas. The smell of cool oil is very strong, so you'd better keep some distance from other people for a while. [6]
- The rich citrus aroma can also play a refreshing role.
- Do not apply lavender flavor. The smell of lavender can be very relaxing.
Method Three: Prepare for Sobriety
(1) You should always supplement nutrition during this day. Vitamin-rich foods can infuse your body with adequate nutrients. To stay awake, you need to eat plenty of foods that contain vitamin C, B vitamins, and omega−3 fatty acids. Avoid tryptophan-containing foods such as turkey meat, as tryptophan can make people feel tired and sluggish.
- Salmon and walnuts are the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids and have a metabolic boosting effect.
- Oranges and other citrus fruits are very rich in vitamin C.
- Eggs and legumes are rich in B vitamins.
- Eating less at each meal helps maintain metabolism. Eating too much can make people tired and sluggish.
(2) Sleep 8 hours the night before. Only adequate sleep is guaranteed. Your body has the energy to cope with the long next day. You need plenty of energy to stay awake on New Year's Eve. If you haven't slept well the night before, sleepworms will keep seducing you and making you suffer.
- Don't sleep too long. Sleeping too long can make you feel dizzy.
(3) Go out for a walk. Low-intensity workouts replenish the body's energy. Go for a walk the day before new year, 30 minutes of exercise can mobilize your physical functions and wake up your sleepy brain. Outdoor sunlight can also help your body absorb vitamin D.
- Keep your exercise intensity low. High-intensity workouts can drain your energy and make you feel tired.
(4) Take a nap. If you're still worried about not getting past midnight, take a nap during the day. Wake yourself up with an alarm clock to prevent oversleeping. Just keep your nap up to 45 minutes or less and you'll wake up feeling energized. Sleeping too long can make you feel tired.
- If you have time, you can sleep enough for 90 minutes. 90 minutes is equivalent to a heterogeneous sleep cycle, and you can use this time to make up for the lack of sleep on New Year's Eve.
Tips
- As long as you don't let your brain sit idle, you can stay awake.
- Ask a friend to help supervise and wake you up while you're asleep.
- Chewing gum or eating mints can arouse the sense of taste and keep the body awake.
- Stand up and walk around, don't sit or lie still. People accidentally fall asleep when they are in a very comfortable state.
warn
- If you get caffeine too early, you'll quickly burn out.
- Don't eat turkey because turkey contains a chemical that can make people sleepy.
- You can't drink too much wine, that will make you feel sleepy.
