How can I refresh myself when I feel sleepy while driving? The pace of summer is approaching. Because of the weather, people are always sleepy. But for drivers, it is not fun to be sleepy while driving. So, how to solve the problem of drivers sleepy in summer?
Skill 1:
After lunch, "squint" for half an hour
After lunch in the summer, it is best for driving friends not to start immediately, especially for long-distance driving, to rest for half an hour, and take a nap if conditions permit. Because the blood vessels need to deliver more oxygen to digest after eating, the brain is not supplied with enough oxygen, coupled with the high temperature in summer, people become more sleepy, commonly known as "rice drunkenness" will hit. Try not to use smoking, drinking strong tea, strong coffee and other methods to refresh your mind. These methods can only bring temporary nerve excitement, and have no substantial improvement on the brain's ability to cope with stress and physical fatigue.
Skill 2:
Eat more fruits and vegetables
It is better to have a light diet in summer, especially when you are tired of driving for a long distance, you should eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. Vitamin is a real sobering agent. It can dispose of the metabolic products accumulated during fatigue as soon as possible. For example, vegetables, cucumbers, apples, oranges, peaches, etc. On the contrary, don't eat too greasy meat. Also, don't eat a lot of milk, bananas and lettuce before driving. These foods have a certain hypnotic effect.
Skill 3:
Acupoint massage to prevent sleepiness
Acupoint massage can only be used to relieve mild fatigue. The specific method is to press the Hegu point at the mouth of the tiger, the Laogong point at the palm of the hand, the temple on the face, the Fengchi point behind the ear, and the Renzhong point in the nasolabial groove for 1-2 minutes respectively, and the feeling of soreness, numbness, and distension can appear. A friend who often needs to drive a long distance can even buy a massager and put it in the car. When you stop to rest, you can completely relax for five or ten minutes with the massager.
Skill 4:
It's better to turn on the radio than listen to music
Drivers usually wear sunglasses in summer, but if you feel a little tired, you'd better take them off. When playing music in the car, don't choose some songs that hum and sing. Listening to them for a long time makes people want to sleep. If you don't hate the radio, you might as well turn on the radio. With the jokes of the host and the news broadcast, your thinking ability will be mobilized and your brain will be excited.
