Speaking of the past and the present| you can't sleep when you think about it

Dazhong Daily reporter Yu Guopeng

In the past few days, a research achievement by Swedish researchers on sleep has aroused widespread concern, and the more the quilt is covered, the more fragrant the sleep, has also quickly appeared on Weibo hot search, and many netizens have left messages on this topic to exchange their personal experiences. In fact, the topic of insomnia is often expressed in ancient and modern literary and artistic works, but in most cases, it does not come down to the thickness of the quilt, and some also mention the "fox fur is not warm and thin", but it looks more like an excuse, and the real reason is often the mourning of people, the eunuch travel, etc.

There are different views on this scientific research result. Some said, "I just love to cover thick quilts, thin quilts covered with light and fluttering insecurity." Some believe that "it may not be that the quilt can improve sleep, but that the appropriate low temperature helps sleep." In winter, the heating is too much, the whole person is restless, it is really not as good as sleeping comfortably at a lower temperature. Some are more frank, "I need a thick quilt to calm me, otherwise people will still be gone in the middle of the night." ”

A popular health medical blogger with nearly 6 million fans, Weibo Big V Lilac Doctor, also sent a Weibo on this topic, thinking that "there is really a little truth", but in the blog post, "it is still the thick cotton of the hometown that is sleeping the most fragrant bar" and "missing my mother's ten pounds of cotton quilt", which instantly makes this scientific topic become "literary and artistic style".

I can't help but think of the poetry and song that are related to insomnia. A little attention will find that insomnia is not uncommon in literary and artistic works, longing for love and not being able to achieve success, sending off friends without giving up, and fighting on the frontier for a long time without returning, all of which are easy to make people feel sorry and difficult to sleep. We may wish to take the poetry of love as an example to see how the literati express their insomnia.

The earliest is the first "Guan Ju" in the Book of Poetry, which describes a man who can't help himself because of the woman in his mind, so that he suffers from lovesickness and can't sleep. The poems are sung with the cheerfulness and song of the dove birds, and the beautiful love of the lady and the gentleman is sung. In the face of the "lady", what is the performance of this young man, "I can't ask for it, I can't help it." Leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning", because the heart is longing, and it is difficult to sleep after tossing and turning all day. When the ancients evaluated this poem, they believed that the emotional expression in the poem was appropriate, and it was "affectionate, stopping at etiquette", so they hoped to use this poem to "wind the world and the right couple", so they put it in the "beginning of the "Wind", crowned at the beginning of the three hundred and five articles. The word tossing and turning is still frequently used by those who have just opened their hearts or fallen in love to express the same state of mind.

Strictly speaking, the poem of resentment is also a kind of love poem. Wang Changling, a poet of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, was a master at writing poems of grievances, and the five capitals of his "Long Letters and Autumn Words" were poems of grievances. One of the first songs is "Golden Well Sycamore Autumn Leaves Yellow, Bead Curtains Do Not Roll Night Frost." The smoked cage jade pillow has no color, and the nangong is long and long", writing a scene of a young palace girl who has insomnia. This palace girl is in the deep palace, love and youth are locked in the high palace walls, can not feel the fun, can not see the future, the heart is full of sorrow, so the night can not sleep for a long time. The most touching thing about this poem is that the first three sentences create a cold and lonely environment atmosphere through layers of writing scenes, especially the imagery of falling leaves and white frost, alluding to the fact that vitality is gradually passing away, and it is easier to give people a sense of discouragement, so when the last palace girl appears in the "Lying to hear the Nangong Clear Leak", the scene blends, the scene is full of feelings, and the intestines are full of knots, how can you sleep?

Bai Juyi also wrote in "Long Hate Song" that Tang Xuanzong Li Long's gene missed Yang Guifei and was difficult to sleep. After Yang Guifei entered the palace, Tang Xuanzong gathered thousands of favors in one body, the so-called "harem beauties three thousand people, three thousand pets in one body", so that "from now on the king will not be early". Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, the "Anshi Rebellion" began, and on the way to avoid the chaos, Yang Guifei died on Ma Songpo, and all love came to an abrupt end. Tang Xuanzong returned to Chang'an, and the poem reads: "The Xidian Firefly thinks quietly, and the lone lamp is not yet asleep." The bell and drum are long in the first long night, and the Geng Geng Galaxy wants to dawn the sky. Mandarin duck tile cold frost heavy, emerald cold who is with the ", see things and think of people, difficult to sustain themselves, lone lamp oil or no drowsiness, unconsciously the day is going to light. In this situation, why should people be embarrassed? The quilt is indeed mentioned here – in the cold emerald quilt, who sleeps with the king? However, the writing here of "Jade Cold" is not deliberately emphasizing the thickness of the quilt, nor is it to highlight the cold and sleepless, but just to set off Tang Xuanzong's lonely and bitter state of mind.

Naranjande has a eulogy called "Nanxiangzi Inscription for the Dead Woman", which is a tribute to his deceased wife Lu Shi, and the words read: "Tears are silent, only repentance to the past." With DanQing's heavy and introspective knowledge, Yingying, a sad painting can not be achieved. Don't say it, midnight crane dreams and wakes up early. Qing woke up early in the morning and dreamed of himself, and even more, wept all over the wind and rain bells at night. "The husband and wife are separated by yin and yang, which makes the lyricist infinitely sad, and this word really reads and cries blood." Only to regret the past", it seems to express the meaning of "only when lost to know how to cherish", the fact should not be so, but saying it in such a self-reproach tone makes people feel the depth of his thoughts, the cut of love, and the pain after he lost his beloved wife. The two are happy with each other, but they can't grow old with their heads in vain, think about it, sadness comes from it, wake up early in the middle of the night, and finally it is difficult to sleep, it is the true feelings that are revealed.

In 1997, Zhang Yimou's urban comedy "Have Something to Say" received a good box office, and many of the lines in the film became a popular phrase. In the movie, a couple of men and women in love are designed to "think you can't sleep", which makes everyone who has seen it laugh. Zhao Xiaoshuai, a small bookseller played by Jiang Wen, and An Hong, a beautiful girl played by Qu Ying, are a pair of "former lovers", but Jiang Wen constantly cuts the love in his heart, and in order to save this feeling, he chases qu Ying and pesters endlessly. He chased after the community where the girl lived, and in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared. He didn't know which building the girl lived in, and he had a clever idea, hoping to call the girl out downstairs. He didn't want to shout himself, so he hired a person who pedaled a tricycle to collect waste, and it was Zhang Yimou who made a cameo appearance. Jiang Wen took out 50 yuan and asked him to shout "An Hong" in the community square, and 1 yuan shouted 10 times. At first, Zhang Yimou was reluctant to take on the job, because he calculated that he would have to shout 500 times. Jiang Wen told him that it was not necessary to shout so much, just shout people out. Zhang Yimou agreed to this, shouted a few times, the girl did open the window and appeared, but only probed to see what was going on, closed the window again, and did not go downstairs. Jiang Wen asked to continue shouting, and also added a task, asking to shout "An Hong, I miss you". At this point, Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed, feeling that "I miss you" could not be shouted. Jiang Wen added another 50 yuan. Zhang Yimou shouted again, first shouting "An Hong", and then shouting the second half of the sentence "Hungry thinking of you" in a low Shaanxi accent, which made people can't help but be amused. In the end, before the people could shout out, Zhang Yimou took a chance and fled on a tricycle.

People did not shout out, Jiang Wen refused to give up. I went to the nearby labor market and found a young man with a loud voice, who also gave him 50 yuan and asked him to continue shouting. This time, the shouted lines were added again, asking to shout "An Hong, I miss you, I think you can't sleep." As a result, this young man's voice is big, but the brain melon is not very clever, as soon as he exits, he shouts "An Hong, I miss you, I think you want to sleep", and he always can't change it, so that Jiang Wen next to him "rushes to attack the heart": Do you want to play rogue or what? How always thinking about sleeping!

This bridge section in the movie has always been talked about by everyone. To say that the emotions expressed by the characters, although it is also "think you can't sleep", the sincerity can not be compared with the previous poems, but this is a comedy movie after all, it is to make everyone laugh, as long as everyone laughs, what does it matter if you can't fall asleep!

Let's go back to the sleep experiment at the beginning. According to news reports, the study is roughly as follows: researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden selected 120 patients with various sleep disorders, even including severe depression and anxiety disorders, as the study subjects, and divided them into two groups, one group covered with a blanket of 6 to 8 kilograms when sleeping, and the other group covered about 1.5 kilograms.

Can this conclusion of swedish researchers stand up to scrutiny? Jin Ling, chief physician of the Sleep Medicine Center of Nanjing Brain Hospital, said in an interview that the impact of the cover is the temperature when we sleep, and people will take the initiative to lower their body temperature during sleep, so that people's metabolism enters a relatively slow process, so they need certain thermal insulation measures, but the overheated environment is indeed not good for people, making it difficult to fall asleep. So, is such a heavy quilt the cause of improved sleep? Considering the various factors such as sample collection of this experiment, the mechanism of this experiment needs to be further studied. He also suggested that a relatively cool, dimly lit environment is beneficial to falling asleep, especially to avoid doing something unrelated to sleep before going to bed, such as lying in bed brushing mobile phones, brushing drama, three hours before going to bed should not do strenuous, long-term exercise. A good sleeping environment and sleep habits can alleviate the insomnia symptoms of most people.

All in all, insomnia is very common, and there are many causes of insomnia, both ancient and modern. If it is because the quilt is thin, it is cold and cannot sleep, then add a thick quilt, scientists say that this can sleep well; if it is because the body can not sleep, then quickly change all the bad habits that are not conducive to sleep, it is not OK, immediately find a doctor to treat; if it is because of emotional insomnia, the most troublesome, to tell the truth, in addition to their own regulation, there is no other good way, the most ideal is to think about it and fall asleep. However, occasional insomnia is not absolutely bad, can not sleep for a while, can usually think of a lot of things in the past.
