Some time ago, I saw a topic "300 million people have sleep problems".
Indeed, both middle-aged and elderly people and young people now have sleep problems, which have even affected their normal lives.
Some time ago, I heard Zhu Zhu say that she has been taking Chinese medicine to regulate her body, and when I asked, I found out that she has always had difficulty falling asleep recently, and even if she fell asleep, she often woke up after a while, and she couldn't sleep well.
On the second day, she had to go to work normally, she had no energy at all, she was groggy every day, and her mood was very irritable, and she often lost her temper with her family because of a little thing.
Zhu Zhu's question, I believe it has also appeared in you, have you thought about why you can't sleep well?
➽ Causes of poor sleep quality
Poor sleep quality is not uncommon for modern people, and there are two main reasons why people experience this situation.
1. I don't want to sleep from the bottom of my heart
For people nowadays, life is stressful, busy with work during the day, and having to take care of the children and homework when they get home from work, and when these things are done, it is not too early.
But only then do people find that this little time before going to bed belongs to them, and only at this time is they free, so they want to do something they like, and they don't want to go to bed so soon.
For example, playing with the mobile phone for a while, cleaning up, these things are done, it is already one or two o'clock in the morning.
If I want to sleep again, I have already gotten through the drowsiness, so I can only stay up all night, not knowing when I will be able to fall asleep.
2. Stressed, unable to sleep
The disadvantage of social progress is that the pressure of competition is high, and people have to work hard in order to live, which also makes many people physically and mentally exhausted and feel stressed.
In the evening, after a busy day, I wanted to rest quietly for a while, but my brain was like a movie, constantly reminding myself of tomorrow's work.
The end result is anxiety, stress, and the inability to sleep peacefully.
➽ Solve sleep problems
I'm sure you've also thought of various ways to fall asleep, such as listening to soft music, wearing earplugs to block out the sounds of the outside world, or putting on an eye mask to force yourself to sleep......
But these methods can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, if you want to really improve the quality of sleep, don't put these 4 things in the bedroom!
✮1. Don't put electronic products
As the night fell, people also returned to their warm homes one after another, only here, they can unload their heavy responsibilities and be themselves.
After the fatigue of the day, lying on the bed, hugging the long-lost bed quilt, the body and mind are relaxed at this moment, so I pick up my mobile phone, watch short videos, play games, and enjoy a pleasant bedtime time.
This is the state of most people before going to bed, and it is true that play is more important than sleeping.
Before you know it, the sky is already dark, and it is already 3 o'clock in the morning, so you reluctantly turn off your phone and seize the last few hours to catch up on sleep.
But I haven't slept enough, the alarm clock has already sounded, and I can only get up and go to work with my spirits.
Young people are energetic and can still support such a short sleep lifestyle, but middle-aged and elderly people are physically exhausted, and eventually a vicious circle, not sleeping well, not working well, and not doing anything well.
While we enjoy the convenience brought by technological progress, we have to face the negative impact it brings to our lives.
It is not denied that most of them have the habit of playing with their mobile phones before going to bed, and even fall asleep while playing, which has many disadvantages.
The first one, it's not safe. Many people have the habit of charging their mobile phones before going to bed, and after falling asleep, the mobile phone is still next to the pillow, and once the electricity leaks and fires, it will pose a threat to their own safety.
Second, the radiation is severe. Electronic products have more or less radiation, although the amount of radiation is not large, but in the long run, it will still affect the body.
Third, physical health is at stake. Turning off the lights and playing with electronic devices before going to bed can affect the eyes and cervical spine.
Let's talk about eyesight first, the decline is mild, and in severe cases, you will suffer from glaucoma, conjunctivitis and other diseases.
Lying down and playing with a mobile phone, maintaining a posture for a long time, will also suffer from cervical spondylosis, which will seriously affect normal life.
Therefore, before going to bed, do not put any electronic products in the bedroom, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc., although it looks harmless, but its impact on sleep quality cannot be ignored.
✮2. Don't put the trash can
In daily life, many people are accustomed to placing a trash can at or near the bed in their bedroom for convenience, so that they can throw away the garbage at any time.
However, this seemingly convenient habit can actually bring about a range of problems that affect our health and sleep quality.
Placing trash cans in the bedroom may lead to a dirty and messy bedroom environment, affecting people's mood, who can sleep well in a place full of garbage?
No one can clean the trash can before going to bed, so the accumulated garbage is prone to bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances.
Sleeping and resting in such an environment is obviously not healthy and may even pose a potential threat to our physical health.
In addition, garbage cans filled with garbage can emit an unpleasant odor and even attract small flying insects.
Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, mosquitoes and flies are also coming, they prefer places with garbage, and when there is garbage in the bedroom, they will attract mosquitoes and flies.
Sometimes when you fall asleep, flies buzz in your ears, or mosquitoes "kiss" you, will it disturb your sleep?
Besides, the smell of garbage can also affect the air quality in the bedroom, and no one can afford to fall asleep when you smell the smell.
Putting trash cans in the bedroom seems to bring convenience to life, but in fact, there are many side effects, before going to bed, remember to put the trash can outside the bedroom, don't let it affect your good dreams.
✮3. Don't worry about it
Before people go to bed, the most feared thing is to have something on their minds, once they hide things in their hearts, they will keep thinking about it, and the more they think about it, the more irritable they become, and eventually they can't sleep all night.
Some people think about the trivial things at home during the day, and some people think about the problems of unfinished work, which are like invisible shackles that bind our hearts and can't sleep peacefully.
People always have uncontrollable anxiety, anxiety about how to do things perfectly, anxiety about how to make more money, anxiety about how to deal with interpersonal relationships.
As a result, I thought about these things again and again, and I didn't figure out how to do it perfectly, and in the end I could only sleep in irritability.
Even if you fall asleep, your brain is in an anxious mood all the time, which leads to unstable sleep.
Although we try to tell ourselves to relax and let go of these worries, it often backfires and the more we think about it, the more irritated we become.
It is important to understand that sleep is essential for our physical and mental health.
It is a critical moment for our body to recover and repair, and it is also an important process for our brain to organize information and consolidate memory.
If we are unable to have a good night's sleep for a long time, it will not only lead to physical exhaustion, but also affect our work efficiency and creativity.
Therefore, we need to learn to let go of these worries before bedtime.
This does not mean that we should ignore these issues, but rather learn to put them aside for a moment and give ourselves a restful evening to allow the body and mind to rest and recover.
We can try some relaxation methods, such as deep breathing, meditation, listening to soft music, etc., to help ourselves relax and fall asleep.
At the same time, we also need to develop a positive mindset and learn to face the challenges and pressures at work.
We can see difficulties as opportunities for growth, turn stress into motivation, and allow ourselves to grow and improve in our work.
In this way, when we lie in bed and prepare to sleep, our hearts will be filled with confidence and anticipation, rather than worry and anxiety.
In short, don't let these worries haunt your dreams, and let yourself have a good rest!
When you wake up, you'll find yourself energized and ready to take on the challenges of the day.
Remember, only when you have a healthy body and mind can you better face the challenges brought by life and work and create a more brilliant future.
✮4. Don't put aromatherapy
In our daily lives, aromatherapy seems to have become a common household item.
Many people like to place aromatherapy in their bedrooms with the expectation that it will bring a pleasant aroma and create a comfortable environment.
Aromatherapy does have certain advantages in some ways, but we must recognize that excessive or inappropriate use of aromatherapy can adversely affect our health.
First of all, the chemical components in aromatherapy may have a negative effect on our body.
Many aromatherapy products contain synthetic fragrances and other chemical ingredients that are released into the air when burned and inhaled into our bodies.
Long-term exposure to such an environment may cause damage to our respiratory, nervous and immune systems, among other things.
Especially for those who are sensitive to certain chemical components, aromatherapy may trigger an allergic reaction or worsen symptoms of an existing condition.
Secondly, aromatherapy may affect the quality of our sleep.
While some people believe that aromatherapy helps to relax the body and mind and promote sleep, in reality, these scents do not help you sleep, and it is just a psychological effect that makes you sleep peacefully.
Moreover, the use of aromatherapy for sleep for a long time may make us dependent, and once we stop using it, we may have insomnia, anxiety and other problems.
Finally, aromatherapy may also have a potential impact on our mental health.
Some studies have shown that spending a long time in an aromatherapy environment may cause our emotions to become unstable, and even trigger psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
This may be because the chemical components in aromatherapy can interfere with the balance of neurotransmitters in our brain, which can affect our mental state.
Therefore, to protect our health and mental health, we should try to avoid excessive or inappropriate use of aromatherapy.
So, avoid using aromatherapy in the bedroom, if you want to purify the bedroom air, you can raise green plants, which can also play a role in decorating the bedroom.
