What to do if your child always feels sleepy in class

Being a mother, I have endless worries. I thought everything would be fine as long as I could get through school. But after the children went to school, I had even more things to worry about. For example, I always feel sleepy in class and cannot concentrate on the lecture. Being always sleepy in class not only reduces learning efficiency, but also leaves a bad impression on the teacher. So what should you do if your child is always sleepy in class? How can parents help young children correct this bad habit?

But there is also a saying: "Once you enter the world, you have no choice." Even though I am so sleepy that my eyelids are about to pop, as a student I still have to listen to the class.

So the question is: What should I do if I am extremely sleepy but cannot fall asleep? Study Brother will give you some amazing skills.

In fact, some children want to sleep as soon as they start class. There are two reasons for this:

01 Subjective factors

1. I didn’t get enough sleep last night.

2. Physical reasons, for example, some students always feel sleepy due to brain hypoxia caused by rhinitis.

3. Diet: experts point out that starch promotes sleep. Therefore, you can consume more protein for breakfast and lunch, and less rice, noodles, potatoes and other starch-rich foods. A certain amount of hunger can also keep people awake.

02 Objective Factors

1. Noise, such as the low-frequency sound of a rotating fan or the gurgling sound of water in a heating pipe, has a hypnotic effect.

2. The frequency of fluorescent lamps. If the frequency is too low, people will feel flickering and feel tired.

3. The teacher’s slow and gentle tone of voice also has a hypnotic effect.

4. The air in the classroom is not ventilated. If there is no fresh air indoors, the brain will habitually enter a dormant state.

In general, the subjective reason is one's own physical reasons, and a large part of the objective reason is that the environment is conducive to sleep.

How to solve the problem of feeling sleepy in class and become a top student?

1. Pinch the Ren Zhong point: In TV dramas, you can always see people pinching the Ren Zhong point when someone faints. The Ren Zhong point is the vertical line under the nose. In traditional Chinese medicine, the philtrum is an important channel for qi and blood in the human body. The reasons for drowsiness may also be due to the poor circulation of qi and blood in the upper and lower parts of the body, resulting in cerebral ischemia. At this time, pinching the Ren Zhong point can effectively solve the problem!

2. Massage your temples: When you are sleepy, your eyes are always closed and you are prone to fatigue. The temples are special acupuncture points for treating eye fatigue. Rubbing your temples with the palms of your hands can invigorate your spirits, eliminate fatigue, and sleepiness will no longer be a problem!

3. Combing your hair: You can prepare a wooden comb, or use your ten fingers to comb your hair. The head is the meeting point of all yang, and there are many blood vessels distributed on it. The simple action of combing your hair can stimulate blood circulation throughout the body, making people feel refreshed. When combing, start from the front hairline and go to the back of the head. You can use a little force to help remove sleepiness!

4. Massage your shoulders: The reason for drowsiness may also be due to working at a desk for too long. You might as well give your shoulders a thorough massage. Don't be afraid of pain. Use your hands to pinch and hold various parts of your shoulders. Focus on massaging the areas that feel most obvious. After the massage, you will feel refreshed and no longer drowsy!

5. Stretching: Although stretching is a simple action, it is very effective in driving away sleepiness. Stretching can promote blood circulation in the body. It is best to cross your hands and lift them above your head, while taking a deep breath. Put them down when you are out of air. After a few times, you will feel a lot more relaxed and less sleepy!

It has been proven to be effective, you can try it!

Finally, here are some foods that can help relieve fatigue:

1. Banana: Banana is known as a high-energy food. It contains carbohydrates that are easily absorbed by the human body and is also rich in potassium. Potassium can help maintain normal muscle and nerve function in the human body, but it cannot be stored in the body for a long time. After strenuous exercise, the potassium level in the body will drop to a very low level. Studies have shown that low potassium can cause muscle pain, irregular heartbeat, slow reaction, etc., and eating a few bananas can make up for the potassium deficiency. Bananas can also make people happy.

2. Strawberries: Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which helps the body absorb iron and nourish cells. Therefore, eating more strawberries can make people energetic.

3. Tuna: Among high-protein fish, tuna is rich in tyrosine, which helps produce neurotransmitters in the brain, helping people concentrate and think quickly.

4. Cereal: Some people have found that if the fiber content in breakfast is high, you will not feel hungry. Nutritionists explain that fiber can slow down the digestion process and continuously supply carbohydrates to the blood vessels, allowing the human body to obtain energy continuously. Oatmeal is a fiber-rich food that releases energy slowly and evenly, which can keep the body's blood sugar level at a high level, so you won't feel hungry quickly and keep yourself full of energy. But now I only drink instant oatmeal, which seems to be of little use, so natural oatmeal is better.

5. Lemon, due to its extremely high content of vitamin C, greatly improves the ability to receive information. Very suitable for students to eat.

6. Cabbage can reduce the activity of the thyroid gland. Before taking an exam or facing a big problem, eating cabbage salad will instantly calm you down. (I haven’t tried it, parents can let their children try it)

7. Carrots can help memory. Carrots can promote brain metabolism.

8. Onions can eliminate brain and mental fatigue and improve brain oxygen supply.

9. Walnuts or hazelnuts. Walnuts can strengthen the nervous system and stimulate brain activity.

10. Figs. The substances they contain are similar to aspirin, which can dilute the blood and improve oxygen supply to the brain.

11. Celery can increase brain activity. It contains aromatics that stimulate the nervous system.
