What should I do if I often feel sleepy and can't sleep?

Spring blossoms, pleasant climate and warm weather often make people feel lazy. Even if they get enough sleep at night, they are still depressed and sleepy during the day. This is what people call "spring sleep". Spring sleepiness is not a disease, but a temporary physiological phenomenon that human physiological function is adjusted with the change of natural seasons and temperature. In winter, in order to adapt to the cold environment, protect the body temperature, prevent the heat from emitting, the skin and tiny blood vessels are in a state of tension and contraction, maintain the physiological constant temperature of the body, and increase the excitement information of the central nervous system, so the human brain is relatively clean. In spring, the temperature is moderate, the skin and muscle microtubules are in a relaxed state, the blood flow is slow, the blood supply to the body surface increases, the blood flowing into the brain decreases correspondingly, and the excitatory stimulation information of the central nervous system weakens, so the phenomenon of "spring sleep" appears. Experts summarized the following six common causes of fatigue: 1. Sleep too much. If you sleep as much as 8- 10 hours every night, you will still feel sleepy and weak after getting up. 2. Partial eclipse You must know that if you eat too much lunch, you will feel sleepy in the afternoon, because the stomach has become the focus and all organs are busy helping it digest food. After smoking, the body stimulates the brain to convey the command to release adrenaline, and the central nervous system is excited, consuming too much glucose in the body, so you feel excited. After this time, you will be more tired, and you will have to pay for the energy you have just consumed excessively. People who don't like sports have weak muscles. 5. People who usually like to take medicine, such as cold medicine, painkillers, antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs, will cause drowsiness. 6. Insufficient water intake Every organ of the body relies on water to work normally, so if there is water shortage in the body, the metabolic rate will slow down, resulting in a strong sense of drowsiness. Pay attention to spring sleepiness: the more I sleep, the more trapped I am in this spring morning, and I wake up easily. The waiting group is quietly expanding. Date: March, 2005-11:16: 00 Source: Hangzhou Daily Author: Reading Times: 88 As soon as spring comes, people are particularly prone to fall asleep, sleep and work. In addition, there are some symptoms similar to "spring sleep", which actually hide some diseases, so be careful. Spring is blooming, and warm weather often makes people feel lazy. Even if they get enough sleep at night, they will still feel sleepy during the day, resulting in "Spring Sleepiness", which is commonly known as "Spring Sleepiness". Then why on earth is there a spring sleep? What can we do to stay away from it? To this end, we asked Dr. Jiang Minhai, deputy director of the Department of Neurology, No.1 Hospital, to help us solve our doubts. Spring sleepiness is not a disease, but a short-term physiological phenomenon that human physiological function is adjusted with the change of natural seasons and temperature. In spring, the temperature is moderate, the fine blood vessels of the skin and muscles are in a relaxed state, the blood flow is slow, and the blood supply to the body surface is increased, so the blood flowing into the brain is correspondingly reduced, and the excitatory stimulation information of the central nervous system is weakened, resulting in the phenomenon of "spring sleep". "Spring sleepiness" is actually a manifestation of brain hypoxia, which is related to the fact that the autonomic nerve has not fully adapted to climate change and the vasomotor function is insensitive. Spring sleepiness is not morbid, of course it has nothing to do with immunity. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body needs a process of adaptation and adjustment, mainly due to the great climate change in winter and spring. In cold winter and early spring, people are affected by low temperature, and the sweat glands of the skin contract to reduce the heat emission in the body and keep the body temperature constant. In spring, the temperature rises, the skin pores stretch, the blood supply increases, and the oxygen supplied to the brain decreases accordingly, which affects the work of the brain and makes the biological clock less accurate. Although sleepiness in spring is not morbid, it is not conducive to the healthy coordination of people's physical and mental state and needs to be adjusted by various methods. Sleeping more can't solve the spring sleep. Sleeping more is not the solution to spring sleep. Under normal circumstances, adults can sleep about 8 hours a day. Increasing sleep may reduce the excitability of cerebral cortex and make it in a state of inhibition. People will get more and more sleepy, listless and sleepy as they sleep. Therefore, experts suggest that doors and windows should be opened frequently in spring to make the indoor air unobstructed; Increasing outdoor activities, appropriately increasing physical exercise programs suitable for you, increasing contact between people, and telling jokes and anecdotes with friends will have a good effect in solving difficulties. In addition, the taste of spring tea is fragrant, and drinking more light fragrant tea can also refresh the mind and relieve the spring sleep. Wind oil, cool oil, perfume and toilet water are also good solutions. Conditional can plant some fragrant and refreshing seasonal flowers and plants, and at the same time increase some work to ease the spring sleep. Using negative ion generator indoors is also helpful to adjust mood and refresh your mind. Yawning often hides hidden dangers. If you yawn often, be careful. When normal people feel tired, they often yawn a few times. The deep breathing effect of yawning increases the inhalation of oxygen, which can temporarily relieve people's fatigue. However, Dr. Jiang Minhai reminded that middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis, often yawn, which may be a precursor to ischemic stroke and should be vigilant. According to Dr. Jiang Minhai, about 70% ~ 80% of patients with ischemic stroke will yawn frequently due to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia about a week before onset. The reason is that middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis, suffer from atherosclerosis, narrowing the lumen and decreasing the elasticity of the blood vessel wall, which leads to a decrease in blood flow to the brain, while the brain is very sensitive to hypoxia, accounting for only about 2% of the body weight, but consuming about 25% of the whole body oxygen demand. Therefore, yawning often occurs during cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. At the same time, yawning can also reduce the pressure in the chest cavity, increase the amount of blood flowing back to the heart from the superior and inferior vena cava, increase the output of the heart, and improve the blood supply and oxygen supply ability of brain cells. But this improvement is temporary, so frequent yawning often indicates that ischemic stroke may occur in the near future. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people, especially patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, often yawn without incentives, and should not be taken lightly. We should go to the hospital for examination in time and actively treat hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes under the guidance of doctors. Diet should be light, avoid high-fat diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol, drink plenty of water to dilute blood, and take small doses of aspirin orally to reduce the aggregation of red blood cells and platelets and prevent thrombosis. Pay attention to be optimistic, emotionally stable, prevent excitement, pay attention to cold and warmth, especially when the temperature is low in the morning and evening, and avoid outdoor activities. All these have a positive effect on preventing ischemic stroke. Prevention of mental disorders, anxiety, boredom and general malaise in spring ... Since the beginning of spring, these troubles have troubled many people, and spring is easy to induce various mental diseases, so mental health care should be done well in advance. In spring, human endocrine is unstable, and the incidence of severe mental patients increases obviously. Besides schizophrenia and other familiar mental health diseases, it is not uncommon for people to have various psychological problems caused by "spring sleep". A man in his thirties went to work in his new unit in Hangzhou shortly after the Spring Festival. He often suffers from insomnia at night, drowsiness during the day, and serious anxiety, and seeks medical advice everywhere. According to the doctor's analysis, this situation is very common in many stressed people, such as college entrance examination students and nervous white-collar workers. Spring sleepiness is a natural physiological phenomenon, but some people overemphasize the goal of "a year's plan lies in spring", and their personal expectations are too high to accept their fatigue and laziness, which leads to self-frustration. Especially the employed people who just arrived in Hangzhou after the New Year are not adapted to the language, culture and living environment, and are more likely to be anxious and bored. Infectious diseases are prone to occur in spring, and physical discomfort is often accompanied by mental symptoms, which also requires psychological treatment. Especially white-collar workers, don't go into the misunderstanding of psychotherapy and buy brain nutrition drugs blindly and confidently. Once you find yourself suffering from insomnia, palpitation, chest tightness, stiff neck, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms, you should take the initiative to seek psychological counseling when you can't find obvious reasons in hospital surgery. How do office workers prevent spring sleepiness? When spring sleepiness attacks you, how do you drive it away? The following are some practical methods: Method 1: When you feel sleepy, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with fragrant toothpaste, and wash your face with cold water to improve the excitement of the nervous system, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating spring sleepiness. Method 2: Go out to the suburbs, lakes, springs, beaches and hilltops by visual stimulation, and look up. If you look forward to staying indoors for a long time, you can also add some colorful and energetic decorations and flowers indoors, giving people a pleasing feeling; Good visual stimulation is conducive to eliminating spring sleepiness. Method 3: When the sense of smell stimulates drowsiness, you can smell the smell of wind oil essence, cool oil, toilet water and the lit hygienic incense, which can drive away drowsiness and cheer up the spirit. If we can adjust measures to local conditions, planting some fragrant and refreshing seasonal flowers and plants in the living room, balcony or courtyard will also help to relieve drowsiness. Method 4: Taste stimulation to eat some bitter, sour and spicy food to relieve drowsiness. Method 5: When you are sleepy due to auditory stimulation, you often listen to some music or songs with beautiful and lively tunes, which are inspiring and inspiring, so as to please your body and mind, or enjoy some cross talk, sketches, jokes and comedies, so as to excite your nerves while getting laughter and drive away your drowsiness. Method 6: When limbs are sleepy, moving limbs can relax muscles, promote blood circulation, dredge joints and make the brain excited. Dr. Jiang Minhai reminded that if there is "spring sleep", don't take medicine at will, and don't try to improve symptoms by drinking coffee and strong tea. How to prevent drivers from getting sleepy in spring? Less air conditioning can easily lead to insufficient oxygen in the car, leading to brain hypoxia and reducing vigilance. Perfume with mint and lily fragrance can be placed in the car, which is helpful for refreshing. Do not refresh yourself with coffee or strong tea. Coffee and strong tea can only bring temporary excitement, but they can't make you clearly observe the road and make a correct response. The temporary excitement is followed by a continuous state of inhibition. Pay attention to diet to regulate yang in spring. Sweet products help to raise yang, warm food helps to protect yang, ginger, onion and leek should be eaten in moderation, and yellow-green vegetables such as carrots and cauliflower should be eaten often. In addition, it is best not to eat a lot of milk, bananas, lettuce, fat and alcohol before driving. This kind of food is easy to make people feel tired or cause obvious drowsiness and fatigue, and has hypnotic effect. In addition, it is also a psychological problem, and you are not binding enough. There is also the importance of things, which makes you fall asleep even when you wake up. Be sure to be psychologically stable. Give appropriate psychological hints and do what you want to do today. And sleeping too much is bad for memory.
