Recently, the temperature has risen rapidly, have you ever felt sleepy, tired, and drowsy during the day, and extra awake at night after work or school?
There is a high probability that you are "spring sleepy". There are several common causes of spring sleepiness:
1. When the temperature rises, the human skin capillaries dilate, the blood flow of the skin increases, and the corresponding blood flow to the brain decreases, and the blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain will be relatively insufficient, so there will be a protective state of fatigue and spring sleepiness.
2. The phenomenon of spring sleepiness is also related to the lack of vitamin B1 in the body. Vitamin B1 plays a role in maintaining the normal metabolism and function of the nervous system, and if its amount is insufficient, the nervous system, especially the brain, will be lazy and sleepy.
3. Changes in the rhythm of the biological clock can also cause spring sleepiness. In winter, the tension of the human sympathetic nervous system is dominant, while in summer the tension of the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant, and spring and autumn are the alternating periods of these two nervous tensions, which are prone to disorders.
However, it can also be caused by organic lesions. For example, sleep apnea syndrome, which causes the illusion of spring sleepiness due to lack of oxygen to the brain, and early cerebral infarction, hypothyroidism, leukopenia, etc., also have symptoms that resemble spring sleepiness. Alarm should be raised.
The following points should be paid attention to in relieving spring sleepiness: (1) Timely supplementation of nutrition, such as sufficient protein, appropriate vegetables that can generate yang, such as garlic, leeks, etc. (2) Life should be regular, go to bed early and get up early, you can also do foot massage, soak your feet, listen to soothing music, dim the lights in the room before going to sleep, and strengthen exercise, running, tai chi, exercises, walking, etc.
The ancients also had the problem of spring sleepiness, the ancients liked to drink tea to relieve fatigue, to this day, spring tea is a popular drink, on the one hand, because of the fresh taste of spring tea, the smell is fragrant, on the other hand, spring tea has some special functions.
For example, jasmine tea has the effect of rationalizing qi and opening depression, dispelling filth and neutralization, and paying attention to the different compatibility of people with different physiques: (1) astragalus and jasmine for qi deficiency, (2) maple bucket and jasmine for yin deficiency, (3) tangerine peel and jasmine for phlegm dampness.
