It’s already spring, and many people are particularly sleepy. Some people say that this is “spring sleepiness”, while others say that it is a “morbid state”. Is spring sleepiness a disease?
Spring sleepiness is a physiological phenomenon in which human physiological functions are adjusted according to the changes of natural seasons. In winter, in order to prevent heat dissipation, the skin and capillaries are in a state of tension and contraction, maintain the victory constant temperature of the body and increase the information about the rise and fall of the central nervous system, and the human brain is relatively awake. In spring, when the temperature is moderate, the skin and vascular vessels are in a relaxed state, the blood supply on the body surface increases, and the blood flowing into the brain decreases accordingly, resulting in sleepy “spring sleepiness”.
People often feel that sleeping in spring is not a serious disease, but the serious “spring sleepiness” can not be ignored. Because sometimes “spring sleepiness” is also an alarm signal that the body is in a sub-health state. For example, in many cases, severe spring sleepiness is a precursor to depression and anxiety. Physical diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are often related to emotional changes. In addition, “spring sleepiness” to some extent also conveys that the body has bad “signals” such as lung yin deficiency, lung dryness and heat, damp phlegm, liver yang hyperactivity, and kidney yin deficiency.
Sleep more and don’t understand “spring sleepiness”
In order to solve spring sleepiness, some people choose to sleep, but experts say that sleeping more may not necessarily solve spring sleepiness. “In general, adults can sleep about 8 hours a day. Increasing sleep may reduce the excitability of the cerebral cortex and put it in a suppressed state. People will become more drowsy and listless, and the result is that the more they sleep, the more sleepy they become.”.
What are the ways to resist “spring sleepiness”
Although spring sleepiness is not a serious disease, it is not conducive to the healthy coordination of people’s physical and mental states, and needs to be adjusted through various methods.
To avoid spring sleepiness, we should strengthen exercise, increase outdoor activities, move in places with plenty of sunshine and greenery, take more deep breaths, and provide fresh and sufficient oxygen to the brain. In addition, greasy food can cause fatigue, weakness and low mood, which will aggravate “spring sleepiness” to a certain extent. Therefore, diet should be light and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Office workers should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature, adding some colorful but not vibrant ornaments and flowers indoors, or listening to some music or songs with beautiful and bright tunes and inspiring effects to dispel sleepiness and cheer up.
In case of “spring sleepiness”, do not take drugs at will, and do not try to drink coffee or strong tea to improve symptoms. Serious “spring sleepers” should go to the neurology or psychology department of the hospital in time to insist on it, so as to clarify the reason.
