When people reach middle age, they are no longer young and frivolous, but they are more concerned about the current life and the burden on their shoulders.
John is the sales director, with two departments under his command, and his monthly salary is 50,000 yuan. But John's hair is getting thinner and thinner, the market is in a downturn, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for consumers to pry open the hands of their pockets. If the performance continues to decline, I guess my director title will not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, John can't sleep well every night. Without a job, you can live on your own. But how should my son who studied abroad provide annual tuition, living expenses and pocket money?
John rubbed the only "hair" left on his head, forced himself to cheer up, went to the department to hold a morning meeting, and gave the salesmen a bloody blow.
If john is insomnia caused by heavy work pressure, then the long-distance bus driver Ah Hu is in another situation.
In the driver order-taking group, Ah Hu is respected as Brother Hu. Because he drives fast, does things steadily, and has a reputation that he will achieve when he has made a mission. The bosses all like to hand over the orders to Ah Hu, so Ah Hu doesn't have to worry about not taking it for life.
Ahu has a daughter at home, and she is a small vegetable student nearby. Ah Hu didn't expect his daughter to study well, and felt that life would be smooth and happy.
Logically speaking, Ah Hu doesn't have much real anxiety. But he also encountered insomnia.
Every time I come back from a long distance, I feel very tired, but lying in bed makes me sleep uneasy. Ahu felt very upset about this, and it was so uncomfortable to not sleep well.
If you don’t recover, the next time you run a long distancer, you will feel even more tired. . . Ah Hu gradually wondered if he was too old to run a long-distance bus again?
So why do people encounter insomnia so easily when they reach middle age? There must be a reason why
can't sleep.
You should know that sleep is as important as eating. Because sleep can eliminate fatigue and protect our brains from working properly.
Once we lack sleep, we will experience mental atrophy, loss of attention, and irritability. Long-term insomnia can cause neurasthenia and even hallucinations.
If you also encounter poor sleep problems, you can see what caused your insomnia?
1. Psychological factors
sleep disorder caused by psychological stress is a major category.
is like the sales director john in the article. Not only did he encounter challenges at work, but he also had concerns about the high tuition fees provided to his son. This was like a big rock pressing on his heart, making him dare not relax at all.
So even if you know that you should sleep, you should let your brain, which has been nervous for a day, enter a dormant state. But John couldn't do it, and the pressure left him nowhere to escape.
2. Physiological factors
We have a set of biological clocks inside. If the work and rest time is very unfixed, the rhythm of this biological clock will be broken. This can affect sleep.
The biological clock of the long-distance bus driver Ahu is disordered.
When running long distances, sleep and diet are irregular. And after getting on the highway, the driver needs to concentrate and his mental state is always tense, which will cause Ah Hu's sleep disorder.
3. Environmental factors.
Everyone has different requirements for sleeping environment. Some people can still sleep soundly in the group dormitory, even if there are classmates playing cards or e-sports next to them. But some people require that there is no light or noise when sleeping.
There are also many neighborhood conflicts caused by noise problems.
Ningxia Shizuishan City A woman angrily brought her kitchen knife to the upper floor to cut the door and scolded her because there was a long-term noise on the upstairs. Although you behave excessively, you can see that once a person's sleep is affected, it will inevitably cause great fluctuations in his emotions.
4. Physical illness
Various pains caused by physical illness will directly affect sleep. This situation requires medical treatment.
So how can we deal with insomnia?
1. For insomnia caused by psychological factors
Such insomnia, we can try self- relaxation method
First put ourselves in a safe and comfortable sleeping environment. Then relax your hands and feet and lie flat on the bed.
Close your eyes and imagine a relaxed wave of light above your head, slowly extending down from the top of your head, neck, neck, shoulders, body, thighs, and calves. . . Imagine the body parts wherever the light waves go, and all the parts are fully relaxed.
If the first time the body relaxes is not enough to make you feel comfortable, you can do it again. Then imagine your body getting lighter or heavier, and you can choose according to your own preferences.
If you like the feeling of lightness, you can imagine that your body is getting lighter and lighter, like a feather, almost without weight.
If you like the feeling of heavyness, you can imagine your body getting heavier and sinking comfortably into the mattress, like sleeping in a soft cloud.
Of course, if you feel it is difficult for you to relax yourself, you can also find a hypnotic-oriented psychological counselor to help you experience this relaxation and practice the method of guiding yourself into sleep.
2. For biological insomnia
The brain has its own rhythm, and it has to work during the day; when you go to sleep at night, the brain can slow down its operation speed and enter a dormant state.
If you still keep your brain active, it will not be able to enter the rhythm.
When you toss and turns at night, you will ask yourself: "Why can't you still sleep? When is the hour, and you still can't sleep? Alas, why can't you just sleep?"
The idea of "can't sleep" is itself a A kind of thinking activity , which will keep your brain in working state. So what happens often is that the more you want to fall asleep, the more you can’t sleep.
At this time, you can use the first method to replace the thoughts in your brain with self-relaxation guidance words, gradually calm the brain and soothe your emotions.
Of course, if insomnia is serious, it is recommended that you choose a specialized hospital for treatment and use medication for intervention.
3. Make some preparations for quality sleep
1. Head massage is a good choice
You can use a massage wooden comb to comb your hair before going to bed. This can not only speed up blood circulation and relax your scalp, but also make you feel comfortable for sleeping. Sleep Be prepared.
Once you develop the habit of combing your hair before going to bed. Next time you comb your hair before going to bed, you will automatically experience signs of sore eyelids and venting breaths. Because you have linked the movements of combing your hair before bed with your sleep.
2. Choose a comfortable bed temperature.
When the temperature of the quilt is cold or hot, it will also make your cerebral cortex excited. In the middle of winter, it was cold and cold when we just got into bed. At this time, the brain receives low temperature stimulation, and it is difficult for us to fall asleep during this period.
We will not enter a sweet dream until our bodies warm up the quilt.
So, if you have difficulty falling asleep, you can choose some heating equipment for beds in winter.
Choose a cool mat or turn on the air conditioner in summer.
First prepare yourself a comfortable sleep temperature.
3. Do not eat too much before going to bed, nor do you restrain your diet
There is a saying in "Huangdi Neijing": If the stomach is not harmonious, you will feel restless. Oversaturated hunger can cause stomach upset, which will affect your sleep.
So, if you are hungry, eat something to keep hungry. If you hold on, just consume it and wait until your stomach discomfort is relieved or disappears before going to bed.
In addition, some women believe that drinking water before bed can cause facial edema, so even if they are thirsty, they will resist drinking. In fact, when the human body feels thirsty, it is already mildly dehydrated. In the state of water deficiency, the human body will affect the body's metabolism. At the same time, the signal of water deficiency will be continuously sent to your brain.
Instead of doing this, it is better to allow yourself to take a sip of water to relieve the thirst. This is also an adjustment to improve sleep quality and physical health.
When people reach middle age, the burden of workplace and life is not light.
If we sleep well, we can meet challenges in a better state and create a better life for ourselves and our family.
