After the spring, the weather is getting warmer, and after the temperature rises, many people are sleepy and listless to varying degrees. Many people find it difficult to fall asleep at night, and they are depressed and drowsy during the day. On the contrary, they are particularly sleepy during the day and night, and wake up in poor spirits. These sleep problems often lead to depression, irritability, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and even problems such as weakness of hands and feet, and trance. This phenomenon is called "spring sleepiness".
Why do people get sleepy in the spring?
In the spring, the yang qi in the human body also begins to change from latent to rising, and the blood qi gradually increases.
People with cold bodies, especially some women, are prone to spring sleepiness because the yang in the body cannot keep up with the rising pace of external yang. In addition, people with relative humidity and spleen deficiency in spring are also prone to fatigue, drowsiness, heaviness, dizziness, and some even nausea, which is because of the weakness of the spleen and stomach, and in severe cases, there may be puffiness and so on.
