What is the reason for spring sleepiness

Many people think that spring sleepiness is caused by lack of sleep, and they will make up for it as soon as they find time. However, the result is that not only the problem of sleepiness is not solved, but the problem is made worse. In fact, this is incorrect. Spring sleepiness is caused by the arrival of spring, and the biological clock has not been adjusted in time. Since the climate in spring is relatively warm and sunny, it is easy for people to feel lazy and easily fall asleep. So, what is the reason for spring sleepiness? Let me introduce it to you below.

Spring sleepiness is not a disease

Spring sleepiness is a short-term physiological phenomenon in which the human body's physiological functions are adjusted accordingly with natural seasonal changes and changes in temperature. In spring, the temperature is moderate, the skin and muscle capillaries are in a state of relaxation and dilation, blood flow is slow, the blood supply to the body surface increases, and the blood flowing into the brain decreases accordingly. The excitatory stimulation information of the central nervous system weakens, resulting in inhibition, resulting in the drowsiness and "spring sleepiness" phenomenon. "Spring sleepiness" is actually a manifestation of brain hypoxia, which is related to the fact that the autonomic nervous system has not fully adapted to climate changes and the insensitivity of vascular contraction and relaxation.

Spring sleepiness is not pathological and certainly has nothing to do with immunity. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, mainly due to the large changes in climate between winter and spring, the human body needs a process of adaptation and adjustment. In the cold winter and early spring, people's skin sweat glands contract due to the low temperature to reduce the dissipation of heat in the body and maintain a constant body temperature. As spring approaches, the temperature rises, the skin pores expand, the blood supply increases, and the oxygen supply to the brain decreases accordingly, affecting brain function and making the biological clock less accurate. Although spring sleepiness is not a pathological condition, it is not conducive to the healthy coordination of a person's physical and mental state, and needs to be regulated through various methods.

Sleeping more can't relieve spring fatigue

To solve spring fatigue, sleeping more is not the solution. Generally speaking, an adult only needs to sleep about 8 hours a day. Increasing sleep may reduce the excitability of the cerebral cortex, putting it in an inhibited state. The person will become more drowsy and listless, and as a result, the more he sleeps, the more sleepy he becomes. Therefore, experts recommend opening doors and windows frequently in spring to allow indoor air to flow smoothly; increasing outdoor activities, appropriately adding physical exercise programs that suit you, increasing interpersonal interactions, telling jokes and talking about interesting stories with friends, which will have a good effect in relieving stress.

I hope that through the reasons for spring sleepiness introduced above, everyone can have some understanding of spring sleepiness. I also want to tell you that it is very easy for people to feel sleepy in spring, which gives people a lazy feeling. In spring, we must develop good living habits and eating habits, and eat more fruits and vegetables. This is very important, everyone must remember.
