Many friends in life have a long distance from home to the company. It takes a long time to take a subway or a bus, so whenever you have a chance to sit down, you start to snore, and doze to the company all the time. Affect work without delaying sleep).

analysis:

Normal people need to go through several "deep sleep" processes to fully relieve fatigue. But drowsiness on the bus is susceptible to various disturbances, such as the shaking of the car, the stimulation of the light, the interference of sound ... It is not easy for people to enter the "deep sleep" state, and to rest in the "light sleep" state and get physical strength Inadequate recovery. Therefore, we often hear complaints from colleagues. After falling asleep in the car, we feel back pain and fatigue.

2, before going to bed, people are prone to anxiety and insomnia:

Some friends can't sleep with excitement as long as they have a little activity at night. Therefore, they kept quiet after dinner and even refused to participate in some low-activity activities. I thought that I could sleep peacefully until dawn when I sat so quietly, who knew that when I went to bed, I couldn't sleep.

analysis:

Excessive exercise before going to bed will indeed excite the brain, which is not conducive to improving sleep quality. However, an appropriate amount of physical activity (such as walking or jogging) can promote the human brain to secrete substances that inhibit excitement, promote deep sleep, and relieve fatigue. In particular, people engaged in mental work may have done little physical activity other than moving their fingers and typing on the keyboard during the day. This requires even lighter activities after dinner to promote sleep. Studies have found that people with anxiety and insomnia who do light exercises such as walking or jogging before going to bed can increase their body temperature and stop when they sweat slightly after jogging (generally 20-30 minutes is appropriate). After stopping exercise for 30 to 40 minutes, the body temperature starts to drop, and it is easy to enter deep sleep at this time to improve sleep quality.

Due to busy work, I often need to work until the early hours of the morning, and the next day I need to get up on time. Friends of office workers who have got up on time, usually have a severe lack of sleep.

analysis:

Ensuring a normal and adequate sleep time is very important for a person's health. The average adult's sleep time should be 6-8 hours. For example, usually going to bed at 10-11 a.m. and getting up at 6-7 a.m. in this way can maintain a relatively stable biological rhythm, which is good for people's physical and mental health. On holidays, the black and white upside-down sleeping method can easily disturb the normal biological rhythm of the human body, and it will cause you to wake up when you should not wake up (such as midnight), and doze off when you should not sleep (such as during work hours).
