Do you feel sleepy when it rains? Huaxi doctors say it may be because your brain is "hypnotized" by you

The rain in Chengdu is really capricious

It's not like we haven't seen each other for more than ten days.

Just like this period, we saw each other every day for two weeks

And this autumn rain is different from that in summer

It's not a heavy rain.

It's all drizzling rain

"Tick-tock-tick-tock——" Like a lullaby

I usually feel sleepy when I work or study.

I want to sleep even more when it rains. I can't hold it in any longer.

Dr. Sun Yuanfeng said

Those sleepy feelings may be the hints you give to your brain

▽

You said you felt sleepy.

But in the middle of the night, I am like a madman

Just open a video and follow it

You said, I shouldn't sleep now.

The spirit has begun to hide its light and bide its time

Finally opened a document, my eyelids drooped

Scientific research has found that entertainment is about inputting information and relaxing the brain , while work is about outputting information and using the brain .

When we are working, we need to concentrate on thinking and output information for a long time; when a person's working memory capacity is limited, once there is too much information to digest in time, it will be blocked at the door of thinking.

Just like a blocked faucet, if it can't be held back, it will explode and become a pile of boring and meaningless information fragments, which will make people fall into a confused and overwhelmed EMO state.

At this time, you are sleepy and want to sleep

It's possible that your brain is protecting you.

Others care about how far you fly.

But your brain really senses your tiredness

Just like when you exercise for a long time, your body can’t bear it and will automatically adjust to let you take a rest; and when your mind is working for too long, your brain will be afraid that you are too tired, so it will silently protect you, making you more and more sleepy the more you look.

Ancient poets said that autumn rain is intoxicating

"A muddy day is not a good day for traveling, a cloudy day is a good day for sleeping. Can you come and stay with me, listening to the rain while sleeping on the bed opposite me?" Cloudy and rainy days are the same in ancient and modern times.

On rainy days, the sun has lost its trace, and being busy is out of place, so it deserves the word "idle "; on rainy days, there are few cars and horses in front of the door, and few pedestrians on the road, so it deserves the word "quiet ". Put aside the trivial matters, the noise fades away, the sound of raindrops plays a lullaby, how can we not go to find Zhou Gong?

That is why Bai Juyi would put down what he was doing in rainy weather and just want to find a good friend to listen to the rain and dream together.

Doctors at West China Hospital say rainy days are pleasant

Pleasant weather on rainy days

The most suitable sleeping temperature for the human body is 24-26 degrees. A rain in summer can reduce the hot temperature to a temperature suitable for sleeping.

Darker light on rainy days

Insufficient light causes the brain to mistakenly think that it is time to go to bed at night, so it "takes its own initiative" and increases the secretion of melatonin, making you too sleepy.

The sound of rain is a single white noise

What is white noise? It is a "noise" with hypnotic function. Ordinary noise makes people feel irritated, but white noise makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

How to stay awake while doing the right things?

Simply put, it means "something exciting":

Turn on the light for yourself and wake yourself up

It has been said that dim light makes it easier to sleep. So when you feel sleepy, remember to turn on a light to reduce the secretion of melatonin and make yourself more energetic!

Listen to some exciting and uplifting songs

Single white noise makes people sleepy. At this time, some agitated music can better stimulate the vitality of the brain.

Have some coffee or tea

The caffeine contained in coffee and tea can stimulate the brain's excitement and delay sleepiness until it is time to go to bed at night.

How to fall asleep as quickly as possible when it’s time to sleep?

If folk remedies don’t work, you should see a doctor immediately!

Read an inappropriate book

For example, the "Graduate English Vocabulary" is known as the "Little Red Book". You may feel sleepy just after you memorize the word "Abandon".

Play some white noise

If it doesn't rain, it will rain on its own; not only the sound of rain, but also the sound of waves, birds singing , etc. can help you sleep.

Don't sleep during the day

People's need for sleep is a conserved value. Taking one day (i.e. 24 hours) as a cycle, the length of sleep each person needs within 24 hours is stable; so if you sleep during the day, it is normal for you not to sleep at night.

Maintain a regular schedule

This includes planning and arranging the total sleep time, bedtime and wake-up time each day. This helps us regulate our biological rhythms and develop a sleep routine . It is also beneficial to the balance of various hormones in the body, so as to get a better sleep! Special reminder, lazy people, don't stay in bed in the morning~

Consult a professional doctor

If you cannot sleep without waking up for more than 2 weeks, you can also go see a sleep doctor. They must be professionals in the matter of "making people sleepy"!

Getting a good night's sleep is the top priority for adults

I hope everyone can stay awake at night and not feel sleepy during the day.
