A colleague's sister said that her child was under too much pressure recently because he was preparing for exams, and his condition was extremely bad.
For example, when you wake up early in the morning, you can't be energetic, and you always can't get into the study state when you get to school;
For example, if you haven't completed your study tasks during the day, you always want to stay up late to do it, and you will suffer from insomnia if you finish it too late;
For example, After returning home after a day of study, I felt as if I was paralyzed with fatigue and didn’t want to move...
It’s the annual exam season again. Whether it is the college entrance examination, the high school entrance examination or the small exam, anyone with students at home will be gearing up for the exam. Stand ready.
What parents can do is often provide their children with a quiet learning environment and three nutritious meals a day. There are very few things that can help their children in exams.
Of course, this situation mostly occurs in our parents’ generation. Today’s parents pay more attention to scientific and effective preparation for exams. How can we enable our children to better prepare for exams by studying every day?
01 Why study fatigue occurs
First of all, we have to understand why study fatigue occurs.
We always feel depressed and depressed like we have no motivation to study and are always listless. From the outside, it seems that our body is overdrawn, but the book "24-Hour Brain" I recently read tells us that compared to the overdrawn body, it is actually It’s more like we’re mentally exhausted.
Because we do not understand the working mechanism of the brain and do not utilize the optimal state of the body and brain to deal with different things, we are always consuming and overdrawing ourselves, unable to start a day full of energy, and unable to end the day. The queen fell asleep full of expectation.
This book is written by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a Japanese autonomic nervous expert, director of the Tokyo Medical Association, and professor of medicine. In the book, he puts forward a point of view that many people have not noticed, that is-the brain also has to commute to get off work, which is in vain. The daily routine of the brain's operating mechanism will make us fall into a vicious cycle of bad conditions, causing the body and mind to feel overwhelmed by life and fatigue. This book
is not only suitable for office workers like us, but it is also very helpful for children's learning.
Because if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. I think if they want their children to be able to review with full energy, parents must first let their children understand the working mechanism of the brain and tell them what review strategies will get twice the result with half the effort.
02 Understand and control the brain
First, clarify the operating mechanism of the brain.
There are two major nervous systems in our body, sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve. During the day, the sympathetic nerves work to make the body active, and at night, the parasympathetic nerves work to relax the body. When the two major nervous systems do not work properly, they will break the body's rhythm and send wrong signals to the brain, causing adverse symptoms to occur in the body.
On the other hand, only when the two nervous systems are balanced with each other can the brain fully issue effective instructions, allowing us to handle daily affairs efficiently and smoothly, and spend every day full of energy.
Secondly, "control" your brain in different periods of time. On the basis of understanding the working mechanism of the brain,
cooperates with our brain work in different periods to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The brain's operating period is divided into 4 parts.
The first part is the three hours in the morning, that is, from 6 am to 9 am. This period is the time when the brain wakes up and the vitality is bursting. Making full use of this period can help us have more say in our own vitality.
The second part is the working time from 9 o'clock to 6 pm. During this period, most of the time is in school. During this period, we must fully mobilize the vitality of the brain and complete various studies efficiently.
The third part is the deep relaxation time 4 hours before going to bed, which is from 6 pm to 10 pm. Making full use of these 4 hours can relieve the psychological pressure caused by work and life during the day, which is equivalent to having a spiritual SPA before going to bed.The fourth part of
is 8 hours of golden sleep time in 24 hours a day. We can use sleep time to help format the brain and remove useless garbage.
Again, develop a few good habits in each period.
has different effects for each period, and cultivating different habits can help children better form behavioral conditioned reflexes and reduce the brain's ability to make decisions.
For example, in the first period, how to quickly restore energy, the book introduces a "morning exercise method in bed", that is, if we want to stay in bed, even if we have not gotten up, we must first move in bed, according to the morning exercise posture in the book , fully stretch the body, awaken warring nerves, and adjust from sleeping at night to studying and working during the day. In addition, during the vitality awakening time in the morning, a glass of water and a breakfast can fully wake up the body.
A large part of the reason for the laziness of the body is that the psychological adjustment is not done well. Timely exposure to the sun and exercise can improve this state.
During the intense preparation period for the exam, in addition to helping their children with basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, parents can also learn and teach their children how to use their brains scientifically and restore their energy in daily life, so that their children can truly achieve twice the result with half the effort.
