Why do people feel sleepy in spring?

There is a saying that people feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and take naps in summer. I believe many people have heard of it. Spring is a sunny season with singing birds and fragrant flowers. There are many beautiful scenery in this season, which is a very beautiful thing. However, due to spring sleepiness, many people feel tired and sleepy, and have no energy, which has a great impact on their work and life. So, why do people feel sleepy in spring? Let me introduce it to you below and hope it can help you. Let’s take a look.

Feeling sleepy and lack of energy, this lazy phenomenon is called spring sleepiness.

In fact, spring sleepiness is not a pathological condition. It is a physiological phenomenon that occurs when the human body's physiological functions change with the natural climate. Because the human body's blood circulation follows certain rules, if the external climate changes, the human body will also have corresponding physiological reactions. For example, in winter, the skin capillaries are stimulated by the cold, and the blood flow decreases, while the blood flow to the brain and internal organs increases relatively, so that the brain is adequately supplied with oxygen, so people tend to be clear-headed in winter. As the temperature rises in spring, the capillaries and pores of the human skin will dilate significantly, and the blood circulation on the body's surface will become vigorous. The blood supply will increase significantly compared to winter, but the blood flowing into the brain will be less than in winter. The brain's oxygen supply will decrease, resulting in a decrease in the excitement of brain nerve cells. The human body cannot adapt to such climate changes for a while, so the phenomenon of spring fatigue, feeling weak, listless, drowsy and sleepy appears.

Doing scalp exercises regularly in spring can eliminate brain fatigue. The method is: first, bend the ten fingers of both hands naturally and put them together, use the fingertips to stroke the entire hairline from front to back and from the middle to both sides vigorously 10 times; then use the ten fingers to press point by point forcefully 3 times in the previous sequence; then use the ten fingers to scratch back and forth over a short distance 3 times in the previous sequence, scratch each scratching area 5 times; finally, use the ten fingers to gently massage 5 times in the previous sequence. Doing it once every day when you wake up early and before going to bed can make you energetic and quick-thinking. It is a simple and effective way to eliminate brain fatigue and drowsiness.

I believe the above introduction on why people suffer from spring sleepiness can help everyone. I also want to tell you that spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue is a very common thing. Don’t worry, it is a very normal thing. Also, you should develop good living habits and eating habits, which are very effective in eliminating spring sleepiness. Eating more fruits and vegetables will also be very helpful.
