Why is it easy to feel sleepy in autumn

As the saying goes, spring makes you sleepy, summer makes you sleepy, and autumn makes you nap. Autumn is a sleepy season. The sun shines directly on the southern hemisphere, making the northern hemisphere no longer hot. The cool weather is perfect for a nap. But for some students and office workers, napping is not so pleasant. Because napping will affect their learning and work efficiency, let’s uncover the root cause of drowsiness in autumn.

1. The reason why we always want to sleep in autumn is that people sweat a lot in summer, which causes water and salt metabolism disorders, weakened gastrointestinal function, increased burden on the cardiovascular system, and consumed too much qi, blood, physical strength and body fluids, and the human body's energy is overdrawn. After entering autumn, the human body enters a periodic rest stage, water and salt metabolism begins to restore balance, the burden on the cardiovascular system is relieved, and the digestive system function is gradually normal. The human body will naturally have a physiological reaction of autumn sleepiness.

2. In addition, "autumn fatigue" is also related to work stress and long-term fatigue. The feeling of drowsiness is actually caused by brain hypoxia. Overloading in the morning will cause fatigue and hypoxia of brain cells, which will manifest as drowsiness and low efficiency. It is a warning that your physical fitness is deteriorating and your resistance is decreasing. The "autumn fatigue" phenomenon is most obvious among young office workers and students. Tips: In addition to striving to improve the quality of sleep at night, citizens who have the conditions should take a nap to give the brain and all systems of the body a good rest in order to cope with autumn sleepiness. However, experts also remind that the human body is in a state of low blood pressure during sleep. Therefore, for people with low blood pressure, naps not only fail to improve their physical fitness, but will increase physical discomfort.

3. To get rid of this state of "emotional fatigue", doctors suggest that it is best to get enough sleep and try to fall asleep before 10 pm; go to bed early and get up early. If you can enter the reserve state in the morning, you can prevent yourself from feeling sleepy as soon as you get to work; "recharge" appropriately at noon, and a 10 to 30-minute nap can also help relieve the tired mood. In terms of diet, it is best to eat light food. Greasy food will produce acidic substances in the body and deepen sleepiness. Eat more fruits and drink more water. It is best to drink green tea, which has a much better refreshing effect than coffee. In addition, this drowsy state is also related to lack of oxygen in the human body. Therefore, you can put some green plants indoors, such as spider plants, rubber trees, asparagus ferns and other plants, which can release oxygen and regulate indoor air. An autumn wind blows, and fallen leaves fly everywhere. Every time at this time, Xiao Zhou's mood begins to become low again. There are many people like Xiao Zhou around us, especially some middle-aged and elderly people. When they face the autumn when the grass withers and leaves fall, they often feel desolate, depressed, and old, which can easily induce depression.
