How to stay awake when you feel sleepy at night

Some people work in three shifts, and they feel extremely sleepy every time they start the night shift. Some students face the pressure of further studies and heavy academic burdens, and often study until one or two in the morning. Some people work day and night for several working days in a row to complete a bid. When the above people feel sleepy at night, they can make themselves a cup of strong tea to refresh themselves, or stand up and walk around, or smell Huoxiang Zhengqi water, all of which can help refresh the mind.

1. Stand up and walk around. Stretch your hands as far as possible to the ground and keep them close to the ground. Straighten your legs and knees. This will stretch your ligaments and cause a sore and swollen feeling, which can relieve sleepiness. You can also use one hand to knead the base of the other hand until you feel soreness and slight pain. In addition, you can comb your hair with your fingers, combing against the direction of the hair roots to stimulate the scalp and clear your brain; or you can clean your hands first, and then rub your ears and face until they are slightly warm.

2. If you have Huoxiang Zhengqi water or Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, you can open the bottle and smell it; or cut the green onions, garlic cloves, chili peppers, etc. and smell it with one end.

3. Wash your face with cold water, apply medicated oil on the wings of the nose, ears and around the neck, and you can also simply wash your hair with mint water.

4. When you feel sleepy, put a peppercorn in your mouth and eat raw garlic. If you are not used to these, you can eat some chocolate, mint xylitol or chewing gum. Warm tip: If you never like eating raw garlic, you should try this. Be careful not to eat it on an empty stomach, otherwise it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or pain.

5. For hot noodles, hot dumplings or cold dishes, if you can eat spicy food, add a little more peppercorns and chili peppers. Warm reminder: Eat less for dinner, and try to choose hot food with hot soup when staying up late. Be careful not to eat too greasy food, beef jerky and other difficult-to-digest food to avoid adding burden to the stomach.

6. Watermelon, raw tomatoes, pears, bananas, etc. It is best to eat them after being chilled in the refrigerator. Fruits can help the human body absorb more vitamins, etc., which can not only refresh the mind but also alleviate the negative effects of staying up late on the human body.

7. Refreshing drinks: a cup of hot strong tea, unsweetened coffee, mint water, lemon juice, ice cream, etc.

8. Pat your head, neck, thighs, etc., and pat any part of your body that feels tired. Don't underestimate patting, which is one of the massage techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. It can not only promote the circulation of qi and blood and eliminate muscle fatigue, but also promote blood circulation and refresh the mind.

10. If you are still sleepy, dip your hands in cold water and gently pat your cheeks. This will hydrate and beautify your face and make it hard for you to not be awake.
