As the saying goes: Spring sleep is not aware, everywhere you want to sleep.
Every time spring arrives, as the weather gradually warms up, more and more people have begun to become "special hardship students---- "severe spring sleepy students" who can't get up, are always late for work, and always want to take a nap.
"Death bell" rings, wake up confused and do not want to get up, wait until noon after eating began to appear drowsy and inattentive performance, resulting in their own work efficiency decreased, but at night it is unusually active, often excited to sleep, feel like the biological clock upside down.
Why is it that as soon as spring comes, it is sleepy in the spring?
In fact, spring sleepiness is only a folk saying, whether scientific or medical, there is no special corresponding professional description.
And why is it that in the spring, everyone inevitably has to be sleepy?
Cause 1: Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia
Spring is the season of revival of all things, and the human body as a whole is in a state of excitement.
The capillaries of the skin also begin to become diastolic, so that the blood flow in the body begins to increase, thus transporting blood to the skin, which will lead to a decrease in blood flow to the brain, resulting in the phenomenon of brain ischemia and hypoxia.
Reason two: the day is prolonged
Once in the spring, the day time is relatively long, and the exposure of the sun will cause the melatonin concentration in the body to continue to rise.
Coupled with the increase in the pressure of people's life and work now, people's work and rest time is irregular, so there is a manifestation of nighttime excitement, resulting in people at night can not quickly enter sleep.
Reason three: personal physical problems
For people with better physique, due to their strong adaptability, they occasionally feel sleepy once or twice during the spring season change, and then they will return to normal work and rest.
However, for those with poor physique, low immunity, especially for people with heavy humidity, due to the poor self-regulation ability of the body, it is easy to adapt for a short time, resulting in prolonged spring sleepiness.
Could spring sleepiness be a distress signal from the body?
Spring sleepiness is a physiological phenomenon that the human body can adjust with the seasons and temperature and regulate itself.
In addition to poor rest, spring sleepiness may also be an early warning signal for cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and so on.
In addition, bad living habits such as staying up late for a long time and drinking alcohol will also easily cause cardiovascular diseases, and the body will send signals through "spring sleepiness" and other ways.
How to get rid of spring sleep?
Although spring sleepiness is a normal change in the body's work and rest, if the spring sleepiness is longer, it will have a great impact on daily life and work.
Especially white-collar workers with extremely high work intensity, these people's long-term lack of sleep will cause low work efficiency, and long-term also have an impact on their health.
Can these methods effectively alleviate spring sleepiness?
1. Participate in more sports
In life, you can participate in more outdoor aerobic exercise, so that the blood circulation of various organs of the body has been exercised, so that qi and blood can nourish every organ of the body, so that the brain can supply sufficient blood, so that it can alleviate spring sleepiness.
Participating in sports only requires getting up half an hour early every morning, and using this half hour of time to exercise can be done all day without sleepiness.
2. Change the schedule
In the spring, it is best to sleep after lunch every day, even if you don't want to sleep, close your eyes for 5-10 minutes, so that the fatigue of the body can be relaxed.
At night, you should also adjust your work and rest, get up early an hour before going to bed, so that the brain is not overexcited, of course, you can get up in the morning and get up an hour in advance, so that you can use the habit of going to bed early and getting up early to reduce the increase in melatonin, so that your insomnia will return to normal.
3. Remove moisture from the body
Heavy moisture in the body will cause people to be prone to fatigue, fatigue and other phenomena, so in the spring should be removed moisture.
You can drink a little red bean barley water, poria tea, etc. to remove moisture from the body, thereby improving the function of the spleen and gradually disappearing from the spring sleep.
In addition, people who are prone to spring sleepiness can enhance their yang qi in their bodies by eating foods such as onions, leeks, and bean sprouts, so that people can be full of energy and reduce the occurrence of spring sleepiness.
Of course, in order to sleep well at night, we still need to contact less light, sleep using mobile phones and other electronic devices, it is inevitable that it will seriously interfere with the biological clock.
So, sleep well when it's time to sleep!
