“Spring sleepiness” strikes every day and you don’t even notice? Here are some tips for workers to stay alert in spring
Lack of sleep is the most direct cause of sleepiness. Through years of clinical observation, it has been found that people who consistently lack sleep tend to have poor complexion, dull memory, and weakened immune system, and may age faster than others.
Spring arrived earlier this year, and the signs of spring could already be felt during the Spring Festival. During the spring season, many people often feel drowsy and sleepy, especially after returning to work after the holiday, as their bodies have not fully adjusted yet, making weekdays seem hard to endure!
Why do we always feel sleepy in spring?
Common causes of “spring sleepiness” include lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and environmental factors. Although “spring sleepiness” is not an illness, if not addressed promptly, it can greatly reduce work efficiency and affect learning and overall well-being.
The onset of “spring sleepiness” often makes people prone to oversleeping. According to traditional Chinese medicine, excessive sleep can disrupt the circulation of qi and blood in the body, as well as the ascending and descending of yang qi, which can slow down the body’s metabolism. Long periods of sitting and lack of exercise can also prevent the timely elimination of metabolic waste accumulated during the winter, which may lead to health issues over time. Therefore, “spring sleepiness” should be taken seriously and efforts should be made to overcome it.
How to overcome “spring sleepiness”? Here are some tips for staying alert and refreshed!
Lack of sleep is the most direct cause of sleepiness. Through years of clinical observation, it has been found that people who consistently lack sleep tend to have poor complexion, dull memory, and weakened immune system, and may age faster than others. To overcome the challenge of “spring sleepiness”, it is necessary to address the root causes.
1. Ensure sufficient sleep time and take naps after lunch if possible to replenish energy for long afternoon work. Research shows that adults need about 7-8 hours of sleep per day, while children and adolescents in the growing stage may need 9-10 hours of sleep. For elderly individuals aged 60 and above, the optimal sleep duration can be adjusted according to their own sleep habits, but it is recommended not to sleep less than 6 hours per day, based on personal comfort. Choose a relatively quiet environment for sleep, adopt proper sleeping posture, and use comfortable bedding to improve sleep quality.
2. Follow the natural changes in daylight and align with the body’s circadian rhythm. In spring, the days become longer and nights become shorter, so you can adjust your sleep schedule accordingly. Develop a good biological clock and try to go to bed before 10 p.m. to allow time for drowsiness to set in and shorten the time needed to fall asleep.
3. Pay attention to air circulation in the environment, ensure fresh air intake for breathing, open windows for ventilation, and ensure an adequate supply of oxygen to avoid feeling drowsy.
4. Increase physical activity, exercise moderately after waking up in the morning, as it can help to refresh the mind. Take advantage of weekends to engage in outdoor activities such as hiking or enjoying the beauty of nature, which can also help to broaden the mind, release stress, and cultivate a positive and optimistic mental outlook.
