How to solve spring fatigue

Many people will feel tired in spring, and they will feel listless overall. They will still feel sleepy after sleeping for a long time. However, a year's plan begins in spring, and spring is a vibrant season, but we feel sleepy. In fact, feeling sleepy is not due to insufficient sleep, but because the human body's biological clock has not adapted to the climate changes in spring in a short period of time. Here I will introduce to you how to solve spring sleepiness. Let's take a look.

In order to stay energetic, you should try to make your diet scientific and reasonable. It is advisable to consume a certain amount of carbohydrates as the staple food for breakfast, such as whole grain steamed bread, etc., which is not only conducive to maintaining blood sugar stability and preventing hypoglycemia, but also helps to relieve fatigue and improve energy. Proteins are made up of various amino acids, among which acylamino acids are the main components of chemicals that produce alertness in the brain. Protein from lean meats, chicken, fish, and low-fat dairy products can help increase alertness and energy. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in potassium and vitamin C, such as kiwi, citrus, orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, cabbage, tomato, green pepper, etc., to ensure the body's needs for vitamin C. Supplement some B vitamins in moderation, which are indispensable substances for nerve function metabolism. Eat less greasy and hot food, and eat meat in moderation. 100 to 150 grams of meat a day is enough. Eating too much meat will make the body environment acidic and cause fatigue. Drink less alcohol, as excessive drinking can make people drowsy and interfere with normal sleep.

Adequate sleep can nourish liver blood, while poor sleep will cause liver blood deficiency, which will not only cause emotional changes, but may also cause problems in many aspects such as the nervous system, digestive system, and metabolic system. Sleep is very important. Staying up late can damage the brain, nervous system, liver, etc., so stay up late as little as possible. Of course, it doesn’t mean that just sleeping more is good. Adults only need to sleep about 8 hours a day. Sleeping too much can easily reduce the excitability of the cerebral cortex, putting it in an inhibited state, making people more drowsy and listless, and thus feeling more sleepy the more they sleep. Living a regular life, following a regular schedule, and taking a short nap at noon can ensure adequate sleep and give the body time to adapt to the longer days and shorter nights, thereby ensuring sufficient physical strength.

More exercise can improve the body's metabolic process, enhance blood circulation and respiratory function, and have a certain stimulating effect on the central nervous system. Therefore, you should exercise more in spring, such as playing ball, swimming, walking, and outing, to promote blood circulation, body metabolism, and keep the body functions in good condition. Improving indoor air quality, paying attention to air circulation, and regularly massaging your temples and basking in the sun can also help relieve spring sleepiness. When you feel sleepy, you can apply medicated oil or peppermint oil externally, or drink coffee or tea to refresh yourself.

Adjust your mood and don't get angry. Spring energy corresponds to the liver, and the yang energy rises. Liver qi and liver fire are likely to rise with the spring energy. When liver yang is strong, it can easily lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, dizziness, and hepatitis. Exuberant liver qi also causes a person's mental state to become high and hyperactive, making people with existing schizophrenia, mania and other diseases more likely to become angry, agitated, furious, depressed and other states due to changes in the weather. The sense of loss and loneliness of the elderly after retirement are more likely to cause various diseases, so they should enrich their daily lives. They may play chess, plant flowers, and talk to friends more often. In addition, anger is a big taboo in health preservation. It is the culprit of emotional illness, so you must learn to control anger. When you feel tired at work or studying, you can do some exercises during breaks, calisthenics during class breaks, or do indoor activities; you can look at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance or the scenery outside the window, the green trees and the fragrant grass. Listening to uplifting music, telling jokes and washing your face with cold water are all effective ways to overcome spring fatigue.

The above introduces how to solve spring sleepiness. I believe everyone has understood it. I also want to tell you that since it is easy to feel sleepy in spring, you can take a proper rest after lunch at noon. You can also drink some cold water to keep yourself awake, or put some snacks or fruits in the drawer. Eating some small fruits when you feel tired can also help refresh you.
