As the temperature gradually rises, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the editor has become more polite when talking to people, because the editor feels that everyone around him seems to have become invisible "bombs". It's going to explode in a minute!
Dog days people are generally prone to irritability. In addition to the hot and sultry weather, it may also be due to lack of sleep.
It is understood that the dog days of each year are the peak period of insomnia, and many people suffer from difficulty falling asleep, many dreams, easy awakening from light sleep, and short sleep time. Experts said that insomnia in summer is more harmful than other seasons, because the human body sweats more during the day. If you lose sleep at night, it will cause myocardial ischemia and increase blood pressure, which will increase the burden on the heart and easily lead to heart disease.
- Fixed sleep time
A more appropriate sleep schedule is to go to bed at 10:00-10:30 in the evening and get up at 6:30 in the morning. A fixed bedtime and sleep time can improve sleep efficiency and is very effective for people who have difficulty falling asleep.
Due to the early dawn in summer, people get up early and go to bed relatively late the night before, which is easy to cause lack of sleep, so it is possible to take a nap. The nap time varies from person to person, generally half an hour to an hour is appropriate.
- The environment should be quiet
In summer, there is a lot of noise outside. In order not to affect sleep, you can close the windows, draw the curtains, dim the indoor lights, relax your body and mind, and keep the indoor temperature at a suitable temperature, preferably around 26°C. In the sleep state, the human body's perception of cold and heat is relatively slow. It is recommended that you do not keep the air conditioner on all night.
If the weather is sultry, you can use the air conditioner to lower the room temperature before going to bed, and turn off the air conditioner when you go to bed. Keeping the room temperature slightly cooler will help you sleep.
- Meditate before sleep
We cannot change the special climate of summer, but we can change our mood and state. Insomnia in summer is mostly caused by "worrying that you will not be able to sleep in the hot weather". The seeds of "fear of sleeping" are planted during the day, and this fear is even worse at night, and the more you feel the heat, the less you can fall asleep.
As the saying goes, "the mind is calm and naturally cool", keep a relaxed mood during the day and don't worry about how to spend the night. Don’t think too much before going to bed, clear your brain, calm your mind, and your insomnia symptoms will naturally be relieved. Relax your body and mind through meditation, muscle relaxation, and more.
- Adjust the diet
Eat less spicy food; eat more whole grains, dairy products, vegetables and fruits in summer, these foods can supplement the trace elements necessary for the human body such as vitamin B1, vitamin C, calcium, carotene and dietary fiber, etc., can soothe nerves , Improve sleep quality.
Don't use alcohol to relieve your worries, because drinking alcohol at this time will not only increase liver damage, but also increase the alcohol concentration in the body, making people more likely to get drunk.
- Moderate exercise
In summer, the weather is very hot, and outdoor exercise should not be too long and the intensity should not be too strong. We can try to do some gentle exercise. Because too intense exercise will make the body sweat a lot, exercise will consume a lot, and the mood will also be irritable.
Gentle exercise can keep breathing smooth, and the tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body have the opportunity to get enough nutrients
