Hello everyone, I am your bureau chief ~ use your mother's heart to investigate the problem of parenting knowledge, and clear the fog on the road of parenting for mothers, there is only one truth! Be sure to keep an eye on the Director.Oh~
Recently, Shu Qi shared a very real selfie on social platforms:
In the photo, she has short pink hair, wears a camouflage blouse, and her teeth and skin are slightly sallow...

How does the goddess look a little tired? The comments section gives us an explanation:
It turned out that Shu Qi's insomnia rate in the past two months was super high, and this was not the first time she had expressed her insomnia on social platforms.
In addition to Shu Qi, in fact, many stars are tortured because they do not sleep well.
Some time ago, Li Bingbing had exposed that he had physical problems, long-term insomnia led to mental breakdown, and he could not close his eyes and fall asleep by taking medicine every day.
When she participated in the program "Longing for Life", she even moved the pillows and sheets at home and made a "shower" before going to bed before falling asleep.
Yang Zi, who is very fond of the director, also distributed a text at 6:32 a.m. saying that she "can't sleep every night", and it seems that she has been plagued by insomnia for a long time, and can only helplessly and anxiously seek a cure for insomnia from fans.

As the saying goes, in the face of insomnia, everyone is equal.
No matter how bright the stars are in front of the camera, they can't escape the fear of being dominated by insomnia behind the camera.
After trying methods such as reading books, counting sheep, listening to sleep music, etc., it is still impossible to get out of the dilemma of "eyes staring like brass bells", so what kind of sleep aid method is effective? What are the sleep pits that need to be protected from lightning?
Today, the director will come to give you a good plate of insomnia and those things!

"Sleeping pills" can not be random online shopping, may be drugs!
Some time ago, China Narcotics Control exposed that on a second-hand online trading platform, there were unscrupulous sellers who sold a class of psychotropic drugs controlled by the state, "triazolam", and other types of controlled psychotropic drugs in the name of "selling sleeping aids".

Some sellers also posted their Own WeChat in insomnia-related forums, saying that if they want to quickly treat insomnia, they can chat privately.
After the private chat, the seller will send a link to ordinary goods on a second-hand trading platform, but the price is more than ten times that of drugs such as triazolam and diazepam (andazepam), in order to obtain huge profits!
These sedative sleeping pills, small doses of use have a sedative effect, medium dose use has a hypnotic effect, but if used in large doses there is anesthetic effect, easy to rely on and addictive, after abuse will become a drug!
Therefore, the state has issued regulations that such controlled psychotropic drugs must be prescribed by doctors according to the patient's condition before they can be purchased.
Non-compliant transactions, in addition to the risk of drug addiction, the seller will also be suspected of being identified as drug trafficking!
Illegally selling drugs, selling the price several times to addicts, and making huge profits in the price difference is the act of drug trafficking.
The smuggling, trafficking and transportation of narcotics, regardless of the quantity, is criminally liable.
In 2018, police in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, arrested a woman who was selling Japanese "sleeping pills" in the circle of friends.
And this "sleeping pill" turned out to be a new type of drug - "Smurfs"! Even the seller himself doesn't know...
Coincidentally, on July 21, 2020, an anti-drug brigade in Jilin Province also seized more than 17,000 "Smurfs".
What is this Smurf?
In fact, it is flunitrazepam, which is a benzodiazepine sedative sleeping drug, the nature is generally similar to diazepam (stabilization), belongs to the new psychoactive substance, after taking, there is sedation, muscle relaxation and other effects, of which the role of forgetting and hypnosis is the most obvious.
After this drug is taken, it can cause intestinal disorders and decreased blood pressure, and severely cause nervous disorders leading to suicide impulses, shock, and stroke death.
It is soluble in water, the liquid is light blue, colorless and odorless, not easy to be detected, so it is easy to be used by illegal molecules to achieve sexual assault.

Flunitrazepam is readily available as a rapid sleeping pill in countries such as Japan.
Therefore, many people who are either stupid or bad will bring these drugs to China for upside down through purchasing, but this is all illegal!
The ultimate fate of interests is to accept the punishment of the law.

Therefore, do not buy sleep aids such as sleeping pills, and do not prescribe medicines for yourself.
Taking medication according to the guidance of a professional doctor is effective and safe.
The director of the bureau can very well understand the anxiety caused by everyone's insomnia, but the emergency illness is chaotic, and many times it will only be empty of bamboo baskets.

Melatonin, really not so godlike
When it comes to the most widely used sleep aids, many people's first reaction may not be sleeping pills, but melatonin.
Many people regard it as a sleeping elixir with "good effect, suitable for all ages, can be taken for a long time, and has no side effects".

But is its efficacy really as amazing as everyone advocates?
The answer is, no.
First, let's figure out what melatonin really is.
Melatonin is actually a natural hormone secreted by the human brain, which can regulate the body's biological clock and promote rapid drowsiness.
Its secretion is regulated by circadian rhythms, such as the weakening of light at night, and the brain's melatonin secretion will gradually increase, making it easier for us to fall asleep.
Secondly, we need to know that melatonin is not a drug used to treat insomnia in domestic and foreign insomnia treatment guidelines. On the mainland, it is only approved for use in the production of health foods.
The effect of eating melatonin is gradually decaying. It only has a certain inducing effect on sleep, and it does not have much effect on curing insomnia.
By the way, melatonin is sought after by everyone as a health care product, and it is not only in recent years.
Because it was launched as early as 1997, the "brain x gold" with sales of 460 million yuan contained melatonin.
Since 2001, "Brain X Gold" has set the first sales of health care products for 16 consecutive years with brainwashing advertisements and scare names, and in recent years it has been pulled off the altar for suspected false publicity.

Well...... Looking at the above vivid and exaggerated case, we can probably know how reliable the melatonin effect that merchants are trumpeting is.
However, melatonin is not worthless. For the elderly (except for people with dementia) and circadian rhythm disorders, melatonin can be taken as an inducer of sleep, which can improve their sleep difficulties to some extent.
However, the director needs to emphasize that even if melatonin can be eaten, it should not be taken for a long time, otherwise it is likely to be counterproductive.
Long-term use of exogenous melatonin may lead to a decrease in its own melatonin secretion, and when it is stopped, its own secretion function may not be restored, or only a part of it can be restored.
Excessive dependence on exogenous melatonin is likely to trigger sleep dysfunction, leading to endocrine system disorders and further exacerbating insomnia symptoms.
In addition, according to a 2015 study on the safety of melatonin, adults, surgical patients and critically ill patients will experience mild side effects of headache, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness after taking melatonin for a short time.
If overdose, there may be symptoms of headache, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, joint pain, anxiety, irritability.
By the way, melatonin may also affect blood pressure and blood sugar, high blood pressure patients and diabetics, be careful to take, please follow the doctor's advice!

"Black Technology" hypnotic artifact,
Not hypnotic but hypnotic
Some of the "black technology" sleep products that look very tall are often the ones that make your money the most wrong.
1. Japan sleeping water
Take a sip and sleep for 15 hours? When the director saw this propaganda slogan, his first reaction was really to see it and laugh.
In fact, the main ingredient of this imported "sleep water" is no different from ordinary drinks, and the only "sleep-friendly" ingredient is a substance called "theanine".
Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, and there is no reliable evidence that this ingredient has a calming and sleep-aiding effect.
On the official website of Japan, it is also stated that this product is only a refreshing drink, not a sleeping pill.
Buying it is actually equivalent to drinking a psychological cue.
2. Sleep spray
Some of the sleep sprays that are very popular on the market actually work like aromatherapy.
Image source: Network A sleep spray brand manual
The director looked at the product manual of a sleep spray brand and did not add any sleep aids supported by scientific research.
So, is this so-called principle of sleep aid just smelling essential oils and relaxing your mind?
Well, it really is.
After reading this official explanation, the director can only say that I wish everyone a happy mood before going to bed.
3. Sleep bracelet
Some sleep bracelets claim to be implanted with advanced chips that can accelerate sleep through "XX technology" and "XX radio waves".
In fact, this kind of propaganda is not reliable, sleep bracelets only help manage sleep, we can pay attention to our total sleep time through it, but it does not improve sleep.

Insomnia should not take sleeping pills
After reading so many things about sleep aids, I believe that many people will have such a question: should insomnia take sleeping pills?
In fact, the purpose of the director of this article is to tell everyone that you cannot "abuse" medication, but it does not mean that you should be "afraid" of medication.
Turning away all drugs for fear of drug side effects is just as undesirable as "abusing drugs".
If the problem of insomnia has plagued daily life, it is recommended to see a doctor in time and take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, the side effects of most sleeping pills are controllable.
Remember that serious insomnia problems, the damage to the body far more than the so-called side effects of the drug, do not hide the disease doctor!
If you have a mild insomnia problem, you can try the following tips to help yourself fall asleep better:
1. Create a comfortable sleeping environment and change a set of mattresses, sheets, duvet covers and pillows that you can sleep comfortably. The curtains of the room should have a better blackout, so as not to be blinded by the morning sun; the indoor temperature should make itself comfortable, and the air conditioner that should be turned on on when it is hot must be turned on.
2, nap time should not be too long: nap more than 1 hour, sleep at night will be far less than the normal sleep time. It is generally recommended to control it for 30-60 minutes.
3, do not eat too full before going to bed, try not to eat irritating foods that may affect sleep. Friends who like coffee, it is best to drink before three o'clock in the afternoon, because coffee will stay in your body for 7 hours, otherwise it is easy to drink and cannot sleep.
4, you can exercise moderately (can't get up and sit for a while, or massage and stretch), take a hot bath, listen to the white noise that can help you fall asleep, and try to find a way to relax as much as possible.
5. Try relaxation therapy to slow down your mind by relaxing your body, such as abdominal breathing training:
Lie flat on the bed, hands flat on both sides of the body, knees bent, feet flat;
Inhale slowly through your nose and slowly straighten your abdomen as you inhale, but keep your chest still;
Tighten your lips, hold your breath for 1 second, exhale slowly until you finish vomiting, and feel the natural depression of your abdomen;
Repeat several sets of actions.
