What are the reasons why teenagers are sleepy?

If you want to guess a physiological reaction, everyone has experienced it. In addition to what can generally be thought of, the air is not circulating, there is no oxygen in the house, life is late, and long-term sleep is insufficient. It may also be that the body is sending a warning signal.

Guidance: No.65438 +0: Eat well.

If you have a meeting or go to school in the afternoon, in order to avoid dozing off, it is best not to eat too much or too fast, so as not to affect digestion. Eat less fried food and eat fresh food to clear blood and avoid stagnation of qi and blood.

In the order of choosing food, it is suggested to eat protein food such as meat or eggs before eating carbohydrate food such as rice or noodles for lunch, so as to avoid the increase of serum growth-promoting hormone, which will lead to drowsiness and affect the reaction.

For people who are often used to dozing off and have a hot and humid constitution, Guo Zongzhen suggests diet therapy, but it is best to know what kind of constitution they belong to first.

What kind of constitution do you belong to?

A. Spleen and stomach qi deficiency type: dyspepsia, pale face, fatigue, soft stool, diarrhea and frequent drowsiness.

Eat Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction: it can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and refresh the brain. (Formula: Ginseng10g, Atractylodes macrocephala12g, Poria cocos12g, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch 6g, Pinellia ternata10g, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae 9g, Radix Aucklandiae 6g and Fructus Amomi 9g).

B. Damp-heat constitution: listlessness, lethargy, dizziness, bitter taste, irritability, chest tightness and dry throat.

Eating Longdan Xiegan Decoction can clear the liver, benefit the gallbladder, resolve phlegm and refresh the mind. (Formula: 9 grams of Gentiana scabra, 6 grams of Gardenia, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 9 grams of Radix Plantaginis, 6 grams of Alisma orientalis, 3 grams of Akebia licorice and 6 grams of Angelica sinensis)

Reminder: In order to avoid self-judgment mistakes, it is recommended to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner before use.

The second measure: good ventilation and sufficient light.

Keeping indoor air circulation is the basic condition to avoid yawning repeatedly.

Besides good ventilation, adequate light is also important.

When the eyes are stimulated by light, the secretion of melatonin will be inhibited. "When melatonin secretion decreases, it is easy to stay awake. On the contrary, if the secretion increases, you will want to sleep, "explained Chen Ninghong, director of Chang Gung Sleep Center, which is called" phototherapy ".

Applying this phototherapy principle to the work environment, if you are sleepy at work or in a meeting, you might as well adjust the light brighter, which will help boost your spirit.

Step 3: Don't wear too many clothes.

In cold winter, we usually wear more clothes to keep warm, but it is easy to get sleepy if we wear too much.

Rao Huaiying, senior coach of Taiji Qigong in Meimen Yiqi Public Health Center, stressed that even in cold winter, don't wear too many clothes and avoid heating in front of the electric heater, because "hot air will stimulate the body to be more stuffy and dry, and push the cold into the internal organs. 」

Traditional medicine believes that cold forces the heart and is prone to palpitation or respiratory infarction; When the cold reaches the liver, it is easy to get tired; When you reach the spleen, you will have indigestion; When cold air enters the lungs, the respiratory system is prone to problems and the probability of asthma is high; When you reach the kidney, you will have kidney deficiency and poor mental state.

Keep warm, as long as it is suitable. If you often stay indoors and the doors and windows are closed, in order to avoid becoming a sleepy person, don't wear too many clothes except adjusting the room temperature to neither too hot nor too cold.
