Autumn has arrived, and there are those who feel sleepy during spring, but there are also those who feel sleepy during autumn. Many people think that since they are sleepy, they should sleep more, but they find that it is actually not the case. I slept a lot, but still feel sleepy. Actually, it is because many homes or office buildings are enclosed and do not like to open windows for ventilation, and exercise is more effective than sleeping more.
Adults should sleep for about 8 hours a day. Prolonged sleep time alters the normal cycle of sleep and awakening, causing the body's circadian rhythm to be disrupted and the brain to be in a state of long-term inhibition. It also causes fatigue in the cells responsible for sleep in the brain, making people more drowsy and drowsy, and feeling dizzy and uncomfortable after waking up. Professor Lin Hexi believes that the correct approach is to cultivate a regular lifestyle, go to bed and wake up early, and ensure 8 hours of sleep every day.
Many households or office buildings are enclosed and do not like to open windows for ventilation, resulting in high levels of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide in the air, which can also exacerbate the symptoms of spring fatigue. The dust such as leaf fuzz and pollen in the spring environment can make some allergic individuals prone to drowsiness. Therefore, in office buildings, if 20% of people experience symptoms such as drowsiness, yawning, inability to open their eyes, flushed complexion, or tears in the wind, they should pay attention to opening windows for ventilation. Working people who sit in chairs for long periods of time have sagging legs, relaxed muscles, and blood that cannot receive venous pressure often stops in their feet, which can also cause cerebral ischemia and lead to drowsiness.
Experts suggest that getting out of the outdoors and engaging in moderate fitness exercises can effectively improve physiological functions, increase the body's respiratory and metabolic functions, accelerate internal circulation, and increase the oxygen supply to the brain, which will alleviate fatigue.
For office workers who spend all day in front of their desks, remember to get up and walk around every hour, go outdoors to breathe fresh air, and supply oxygen to their brains. Usually, attention should also be paid to the fresh circulation of indoor air, such as the increase of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, which can promote the occurrence. If there is no room for activity in the office, the simplest way to solve fatigue is to kick and promote limb distancing.
