"How did you sleep last night?" It is a greeting often heard on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and sleep disorders plague people who live and work in the plateau all year round. Experts suggest that only by maintaining a good attitude, eliminating the fear of the plateau, and eating a reasonable and healthy diet can we have high-quality sleep in the plateau.
"Poor sleep quality is a very headache on the plateau." Guo Yong, director of the Yushu Branch of the Beijing Plateau Adaptation Research and Rehabilitation Center and president of the People's Hospital of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, said that the causes of plateau sleep disorders lie in the low-oxygen environment of the plateau, excessive tension and fear of the plateau environment, unreasonable diet before going to bed, and bad habits such as long-term use of electronic products.
Guo Yong suggested that, first, when you first arrive at the plateau, you should go out and walk around more, and familiarize yourself with the environment as soon as possible, so as to eliminate fear and nervousness; second, we must change bad habits, do not use mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time before going to bed, do not watch thrilling film and television dramas, maintain a peaceful state of mind, and listen to some soothing music to help you fall asleep faster; third, you must pay attention to diet, eat and drink moderately, in order to live a regular life.
"If you overeat dinner, or if you don't eat, you don't eat regularly, and it will be difficult to fall asleep." Guo Yong said that before going to bed, you can try to soak your feet in hot water and use a soft and comfortable mattress. Sleep has a cycle, if waking up at night is a normal sleep cycle performance, don't be too anxious, playing with your phone after waking up will only trigger an endless vicious circle, so that you wake up repeatedly in sleep.
