The epidemic has struck again, and people often ask me, in addition to the three-piece set and five-piece set, what other tricks does Nong have? This square is good to cut? That thing is delicious? Some patients are even panicked, the first to be infected is not the virus, but by the so-called tension frightened, "contagious" insomnia, anxiety, depression!
Insomnia is a common clinical disease, but it is not contagious, and now it is affected by a group of people affected by the epidemic, and the reason is still a mental problem. For example, recently the author met a middle-aged woman in the clinic, the lover is a public security cadre, the daughter is a medical worker, often not at home. At present, due to the impact of the epidemic, patients often wait alone at home, and whenever there is wind and grass, insomnia is always accompanied, as if it is faster than getting infected with the virus. After the author's trial and dialectical evidence, he was given liver relief, peace of mind and psychological cognitive treatment, and his family gave support, encouragement and companionship, and his condition improved day by day.
In today's normalization or recurrence of the epidemic, some people seem to be easily frightened by the atmosphere, spread by rumors, anxiety and insomnia and other pains, how to prevent and control, adjust the mentality is crucial.
01
The main reason for today's insomnia is irregular work and rest, which violates the principle of synchronization between man and nature, and does not sleep when it is time to sleep, and not to wake up when it is time to wake. Adjust your personal schedule, as far as possible to sleep before the hour, stay up late and hurt your body. Create a good sleeping environment, including keeping the sleeping environment quiet, paying attention to ventilation, and having comfortable sleeping utensils. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the combination of body and brain, physical activity and mental activity are both suitable, the two can not be wasted, moderate physical activity is of great benefit. Today's home isolation, idleness is easy to think about, and physical activity is especially insufficient. And reading books to feed the spirit, planting flowers and raising grass to tone temperament, doing dojos in a screw shell, there is a different world. Appropriate outdoor activities, acting as volunteers, and helping others are also a reasonable choice.
02
Calm the mind to sleep naturally and wake up Usually due to work, study pressure or not smooth, a lot of thoughts, emotional irritability, mental tension, thus inducing insomnia. Therefore, to learn to relax yourself, you can relax yourself by taking a deep breath and maintain a relaxed and optimistic attitude. Try lying in bed, lifting your feet up, and leaning against the wall for a few minutes to help calm yourself down. Nowadays, there are many times at home, late at night, and I brush my mobile phone, watching dramas, and playing until I am sleepy. Therefore, it is recommended to stay away from electronic devices an hour before going to bed, lie in bed and really can't sleep, you can get up and sit for a while. Sleep first, then sleep eyes, calm and sleepy before going to bed. Of course, the ideal is to sleep until you wake up naturally.
03
Reasonable diet Proper conditioning Most people are still in isolation at home, waiting to clear zero. Vegetables are sought-after, followed by drug hoarding. You should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat less greasy supplements and eat less salty and pickled delicacies. Large vegetarian and small meat is suitable for lightness. Vegetarian meals are available, fish and meat are available, seafood is occasionally available, and wild goods cannot be had. The author advocates the treatment of causes, reasonable food, and dialectical use of drugs.
In this extraordinary period, the number of patients with emotional and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety due to sleep disorders has increased unabated, and TCM conditioning is a reasonable health care system engineering. The author advocates the comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, dialectical use of decoctions, creams, proprietary Chinese medicines and granular preparations, as well as characteristic therapies (acupuncture, aromatherapy, incense pendant, gua sha, moxibustion, ear acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine characteristics of "external treatment" therapy), psychological counseling (health education, rehabilitation and prevention), etc., through the mode of internal and external treatment, to provide continuous, standardized and personalized professional services for different groups of people, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of "infectious diseases" in the epidemic.
"Good sleep" is the cornerstone of health, not to let the epidemic, ruin the mood. Don't let anxiety, insomnia, depression stumble again, the dawn of dawn in May.
