How is it that I often feel sleepy and weak?

There are many reasons for this. It is best to see a doctor. The common reasons are:

Sleepiness is a temporary physiological phenomenon caused by natural climate and rising temperature. It turns out that in cold winter and early spring, people are affected by low temperature, and their skin sweat glands contract to reduce the heat emission in their bodies and keep their 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. Warm spring sun, the magnetic field strength increases, and the body naturally responds to these. In winter, due to insufficient ultraviolet rays and sunlight, the body lacks enough vitamin D, which reduces the body's immunity and working ability. Plus the intake of vitamins is also less, so when spring comes, most of the body functions are in a semi-lethargic state. Therefore, at the turn of winter and spring, we are particularly sensitive to weather changes. Some people call this "sleepiness fatigue".

Although sleepiness is not a disease, it will also affect people's study and work. For example, students with heavy study pressure, busy white-collar workers, drivers who need to concentrate, etc., sleepiness is a very distressing thing for them.

how can people stay away from drowsiness?

some people think that as long as you sleep more every day, you won't feel sleepy, but it's not. Under normal circumstances, adults can sleep for about 8 hours every day. Increasing sleep may reduce the excitability of the cerebral cortex and make it in a state of inhibition. People will become more sleepy and listless, and the more they sleep, the more sleepy they will be.

Scientific methods can prevent sleepiness from the following three points:

Method 1: The rhythm of life should be regular

To overcome sleepiness, we should first grasp the rhythm of life, instead of staying up all night on impulse to study every three days, and getting into bed early and late, we should develop more regular living habits.

Practice has proved that it is the key to relieve drowsiness to make appropriate adjustments to the living habits formed in winter so that the body can gradually adapt to the climate with rising temperature. For example, in order to keep warm in winter, doors are usually closed, and in spring, doors and windows should be opened frequently to make the indoor air smooth; Attention should also be paid to ensuring a certain amount of sleep time in daily life. Adequate sleep helps to eliminate fatigue.

Method 2: Take more exercise

When everything is revived, you should go out more outdoors and do some proper fitness exercises, which can effectively improve the physiological function, increase the respiratory and metabolic functions of the body, accelerate the internal circulation, and increase the oxygen supply to the brain, so that sleepiness will be alleviated. For example, strolling in the morning, doing exercises, running and playing Tai Ji Chuan are very beneficial to cheer up.

Method 3: Diet Conditioning

Modern medical research believes that sleepiness is related to the lack of protein, the body being in an acidic environment and insufficient vitamin intake. Therefore, attention should be paid to increasing the intake of protein when adjusting the diet in spring, such as appropriately increasing fish, eggs, milk, bean products, pig liver, chicken, peanuts and other foods.

"In spring, the taste should be reduced to sour and sweet to nourish the temper", so when spring comes, we should pay attention to eating more alkaline food to neutralize the acidic products in the body and eliminate fatigue. Don't eat cold, greasy and sticky food, and don't drink too much. It is best to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits every day. Vegetables contain more alkali, so eating more fruits and vegetables is ideal for improving sleepiness.

increase the intake of vitamins. For example, vitamin C has the function of making intercellular adhesion substances, which is very helpful for the repair and growth of human cells; B vitamins can prevent nervous system dysfunction and eliminate mental stress. Therefore, eating more foods and vegetables rich in vitamins has a positive effect on relieving drowsiness.

In addition, nutrition experts also put forward the following suggestions:

Don't eat too much for three meals a day, and it's best to eat three to five meals a day, otherwise the stomach will be too bloated and people will easily feel sleepy.

Many people don't eat breakfast in the morning, which will lead to insufficient sugar supply to the brain, difficulty in concentration and drowsiness. In fact, a glass of milk and a few slices of bread for breakfast is a good choice. But it is best not to drink milk on an empty stomach, and it must be combined with starchy foods.

zinc deficiency will affect the concentration of cognition and attention, while seafood, such as laver and kelp, is rich in zinc, so it is suitable to eat this kind of food once or twice a week.
