Why do people become lazy in spring?

Outdoor spring is blooming and the sun is shining, but indoor people yawn repeatedly and can't lift their spirits. Spring sleep is like an infectious disease. The workload has not increased, sleep has not decreased, and I feel particularly tired. What the hell is going on? Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of man and nature. If the season, climate and human body are not harmonious, there will be various maladjustment symptoms: so-called spring sleepiness, summer sleepiness, autumn sleepiness and so on. Are included. Let the body wake up from the "hibernation" state as soon as possible, starting with understanding the causes of sleepiness in spring.

Scientific theory of spring sleep

It is easy to get sleepy in spring, which is also based on scientific theory.

Basis 1: In cold winter, the capillaries in human skin are often in contraction state, blood flow decreases, sweat glands and pores increase relatively, oxygen supply increases, and brain excitability increases when blood supply is sufficient; However, in spring, the temperature rises and warms, the skin blood vessels and capillaries dilate, the blood flow of peripheral nerves gradually increases, and the blood flow to the brain relatively decreases, thus affecting the excitability of the brain and causing drowsiness.

Basis 2: spring breaks early, gets up early, the days are long and the nights are short, and spring sleep is more obvious.

Six "Antidotes" to Solve Spring Sleepiness

I woke up in this beautiful spring morning, and the famous sentence of Meng Haoran, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, is reasonable. But after some specific functions, I can say goodbye to you as soon as possible-

Brush your teeth and wash your face when you are sleepy, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with fragrant toothpaste and wash your face with cold water, which can refresh your mind.

Visual stimulation. Go out, to the suburbs, lakes, springs, beaches, mountain tops, and look up. Good visual stimulation is conducive to eliminating spring sleepiness.

Taste stimulation. Eat less foods that make people feel tired, such as high sugar and fat. You can drink more beverages such as chrysanthemum tea and green tea, which is conducive to refreshing your mind and solving difficulties.

Olfactory stimulation. When you are sleepy, smell the wind oil essence, cool oil and toilet water to drive away your drowsiness and cheer you up.

Auditory stimulation. Usually, I often choose to listen to some exciting and charming music and sing and dance to the beat.

Physical stimulation. Exercise limbs from time to time, relax muscles and promote blood circulation, dredge joints, and also excite the brain.

Spring is the source of sleep, and people are not harmonious with spring.

Spring is lazy and tired. Is the well-known spring sleepiness a disease?

The answer is no, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spring sleep is a sub-health state, which is one of the manifestations that people can't adapt to nature in time. This "conflict" with nature can penetrate into every corner of sleep, work, diet and life. So, how to alleviate the inconvenience caused by sub-health such as spring sleepiness? Here, it can be roughly analyzed from two aspects: people's eating and life-

When the season changes, the body will adjust to "slow half beat"

Many people have noticed that when spring is warm and cold, "I wake up easily on this morning in spring" is becoming more and more obvious, and it is often in the days when flowers bloom in spring.

From the environmental point of view, winter is a long and relatively closed season, the human body is in a state of contraction, and the metabolism between man and nature is relatively slow. This state has not completely changed in early spring, and it is most prominent when the spring is getting stronger. Look around you carefully, not everyone will be sleepy in spring. People with good health are more likely to adapt to natural changes; On the contrary, it is not. In nature, some animals with little activity climb out of their caves after hibernation, and when they see the dazzling spring scenery, they can't react for a while. The same is true of human beings. The living habits maintained in winter have not changed, and naturally they cannot adapt to the "spring scenery".

The environment in spring is very characteristic, the wind blows willows and the pollen flies ... Because of this, many people with allergies are prone to relapse in this season, such as dermatitis, asthma and bronchitis. But few people know that it is characterized by groggy spring sleep, which is also one of many allergic symptoms.

Countermeasures In spring, we should follow the principle of "going to bed early and getting up early, and taking a wide walk" to ensure 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day. Physical exercise is the most effective way to make the body adapt to seasonal changes as soon as possible. Whether in the morning or at night, whether indoors or outdoors. The key is to get rid of the lazy state in winter and ensure that your body is full of vitality and eager to try. As for people with allergies, avoiding contact with allergens is the most effective way.

Winter diet, virtual fire "can't be discharged"

Spicy, roasted and cooked food is hot, which can stimulate people's taste buds and appetite; Many tonics are made of red ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin, which help yang generate heat. This kind of food is really a good choice in winter. However, if you participate too much, or make up improperly, the internal fire that has been accumulated for a whole winter will become more and more "burning", leading to the extension of the virtual fire in spring, which is manifested as dizziness and listlessness, that is, spring sleepiness.

Unexpectedly, constipation may also be one of the reasons for spring sleepiness. From children to the elderly, the incidence of constipation is increasing. If you can't eat anything in a day, all the toxins in your metabolism will be absorbed into your blood, and you will feel groggy clinically. Symptoms that seem to be out of touch with the world are associated with spring sleep.

Countermeasures Spring diet is light and nutritious. Due to the vigorous metabolism, the human body's demand for nutrition is gradually increasing. Milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc. It can meet physiological needs and has the effect of clearing away fire. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times to keep the stool unobstructed. It is suggested that the public use slimming tea as little as possible to avoid dependence on drugs. Try a small method: make time every morning to be "convenient", which can effectively relieve constipation from hard rules to conditioned reflex.

Distinguish several kinds of "pseudo-spring sleep"

Spring is easy to get tired, which may be caused by spring sleepiness. But some diseases or living habits have nothing to do with spring sleepiness. Be careful to distinguish, be careful that the following kinds of "pseudo-spring sleep" cover up the true face of the disease.

● People say that the old disease of "spring head and wax bottom" has recurred. Because the temperature changes greatly, it is easy to induce colds and colds. The early signs of these diseases are mostly headache and drowsiness.

● Usually, the work pace is fast, the sleep is insufficient, and the biological clock is disordered. This kind of person's poor sleep quality leads to poor spirit all year round, which is not within the scope of spring sleep. It is suggested that we should change our living habits.

● Patients with recurrent chronic diseases. Spring brings the old and the new. Patients with hypertension, diabetes, etc. It's easy to relapse. Hypertension and hyperglycemia can also cause dizziness and other complications. It is suggested that such patients should be reviewed regularly to avoid delaying their illness.
