The most common belief is that sleep is to eliminate physical fatigue and make up for the exhaustion of a day's work. The evidence for the "recovery" view is that during the first few hours of sleep, the pituitary gland at the base of the brain releases large amounts of growth hormone, which promotes the metabolism of proteins in the body, thereby promoting the growth and repair of tissues in the body.
Dr. Peter Garrick of the London Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Research Group is negative. He believes that the biggest impact on protein metabolism in the body is diet.
Tissue protein increases when you eat and decreases when you fast. The main reason why protein metabolism changes at night is not sleep itself, but that people don't eat at night. The most convincing argument is Professor Hartman, director of the sleep lab at the Boston Mental Health Center in the United States.
According to him, sleep has two functions: the first is to eliminate physical fatigue, and the second is to eliminate mental fatigue. In his opinion, the elimination of physical fatigue is unquestionable, and the function of eliminating mental fatigue has been discovered in recent years in the study of sleepers.
Hartmann once compared short sleepers who slept only four hours a night to long sleepers who slept eight or nine hours a night, and found that there was no physiological difference between short sleepers and long sleepers. They are the same height, weight, and even intelligence. And their respective psychological states are very different:
Long sleepers are always worried, while short sleepers are extremely optimistic. According to Hartmann, the elimination of physical fatigue occurs mainly in the so-called slow-wave sleep at the beginning of sleep, that is, during the period from drowsiness, light sleep to deep sleep, and in the slow-wave sleep after deep sleep. Short sleepers and long sleepers experienced diffuse sleep in almost equal proportions.
The recovery from mental fatigue mainly occurs during REM sleep after deep sleep. Because long sleepers have more worries than short sleepers, they need to recover from mental fatigue for longer periods of time than short sleepers; Short sleepers are the opposite. Hartman argues:
That's why Pauline, who sleeps only two hours a day, doesn't have REM sleep in his sleep.

Psychoanalysis: Hello, subject
First give the subject a warm hug, understand the subject's feelings very well, and know through the subject's description that he may have been out of interpersonal communication in a large way because of production problems. Then this kind of emotional instability may arise.
Then the subject is currently in a state of work, and the working time may be relatively long, so the time at home may be relatively small. Then we can choose to go out with our children more during the festival and interact with other children. In this process, not only can the child get more growth, better development.
We may also be in the process of chatting with other parents, our emotions may be relieved, and we will have someone to talk to.
If this condition does not alleviate for a long time, we can also try to seek help from a counselor.
The subject also mentioned that it may be more than 9 o'clock when he gets home, so I don't know when I usually sleep? Before going to bed, we can read some bedtime stories or children's books with our children, which can help children develop the habit of reading. At the same time, it can also cultivate a reading habit in us. Best wishes

Due to some diseases and other factors, people do not get rid of fatigue after waking up, feel tired, and do not recover their physical strength. Fatigue after waking up can be caused by primary insomnia. Primary insomnia is a condition in which dissatisfaction with the quality and quantity of sleep persists for a considerable period of time.
The patient feels anxious or fearful, and the psychological vicious cycle perpetuates the disorder.
Primary insomnia tends to begin in young age or middle age, rarely occurs in childhood or adolescence, the course of insomnia varies greatly, and if it is caused by a psychosocial or medical stressful event, the course can be limited for a few months, most commonly, the initial stage of progressive worsening insomnia, lasting weeks to months, followed by more stable chronic sleep difficulties lasting for several years.
Some people experience only one episode, but later experience significant fluctuations in sleep during certain life events. After a day of moving furniture or a game of tennis, our bodies feel tired, even exhausting. This condition is easily repaired by sleep, and this fatigue also motivates us to get into a good sleep.
During deep sleep, the human body secretes growth hormone, which promotes protein synthesis and speeds up cell turnover. A sound sleep that immediately helps us to rejuvenate.
But this simple, natural approach may not have an effect on nervous or mental fatigue. Mental fatigue can be caused by a temporary depression caused by a disturbing activity or a long-term depression. In addition, in the close relationship between exhaustion and sleep, the mental factor is very important.
If we do a job or something that we really like, we won't feel very tired even if we reduce our sleep time. But when we are in a difficult situation, when there is a crisis in some area, anxiety, restlessness, poor sleep, intermittent sleep, fatigue will get worse day by day.

The best sleeping position is to sleep on your right side.
Many people wake up from sleep and feel dizzy, back pain, and exhaustion, mainly because of improper sleeping posture.
Supine is the most common sleeping position. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this sleeping position a corpse lying down, and with this sleeping position, the body and lower limbs can only be fixed in the straight part, and the purpose of resting the whole body cannot be achieved.
When the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, lying on the back is easy to make people feel chest tightness and panic. Lying on your back like this, you will also consciously or unconsciously put your hands on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs, and you will be prone to nightmares.
When lying on the stomach, most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which compresses the chest and diaphragm, affects breathing, and increases the workload of the heart. Prone also increases the curvature of the lumbar spine, causing pressure on the facet joints behind the spine. When lying on your stomach, twist your neck to the side to tilt your head to one side, which can easily cause damage to your neck muscles.
When lying on the left side, the legs are slightly bent, although it is conducive to body relaxation and helps to eliminate fatigue, but the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is on the left side, and the exit of the stomach to the duodenum and the small intestine to the large intestine are on the left side, so when lying on the left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the stomach and intestines are compressed, and the gastric emptying is slowed down.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the correct sleeping position should be to lie on the right side with the legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is high and not compressed; The liver is in a low position, the blood supply is better, and it is conducive to metabolism; The food in the stomach is pushed towards the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption.
At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing evenly, the heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and bones are fully rested and oxygen-supplied.
Of course, for a healthy person, there is no need to be overly rigid about their sleeping position, because overnight, people often cannot maintain a fixed position to sleep until dawn, and the vast majority of people are constantly changing their sleeping positions, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.

"Alas, I'm so tired! I can finally get a good night's sleep. This is the "happy word" of many overtime workers.
But after a full night's sleep, some people still feel dizzy and weak. Why is that? In fact, there are many causes of fatigue, if it is fatigue caused by excessive physical exertion, sleeping is the best way to eliminate fatigue, but if it is "brain fatigue" or "heart tiredness", sleep often does not solve the problem.
For mental workers and students, fatigue is often due to the lack of blood and oxygen supply to the brain due to long-term use of the brain, and the symptoms are dizziness, memory loss, lack of concentration, loss of appetite, etc., which is "brain fatigue". At this time, the best way to eliminate fatigue is to do some aerobic exercise appropriately, office workers can climb stairs, play ball or take a walk, etc., to increase the oxygen level in the blood, so that the brain can get relaxed during exercise. It should be noted that the intensity of the activity should not be too high.
Modern people are also prone to psychological fatigue caused by "mental tiredness". Excessive pressure in life and work, which cannot be relieved for a long time, will lead to psychological fatigue, and even develop cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or endocrine system disorders. At this time, it is not possible to fundamentally solve the problem by simply relying on sleep and rest, but to find out the cause, do a good job of self-regulation, treat life with an optimistic attitude, watch more movies and read more books; When bad emotions arise, you can chat with friends to vent or eliminate negative emotions in time.
In real life, a lot of fatigue is compound, at this time, only by reasonably adjusting the proportion of mental and physical work, relaxing the mood, soothing emotions, ensuring adequate nutrition, regular work and rest, can eliminate fatigue.

If you want to relieve fatigue, just go to the sauna.
Reason 1: Lack of water in the human body leads to thirst. People feel thirsty when the weather is hot, when they do heavy physical labor, when they lose blood, burns, vomit, have diarrhea, and sweat profusely due to heat stroke (heat stroke), which is the thirst caused by a severe lack of water in the human body. >>>More
Dreams are a normal physiological phenomenon, and dreaming is closely related to the short period of deep sleep, insufficient sleep depth, and low sleep quality. "Dreaming all night" is indeed self-feeling, and it is by no means a functional state that causes the dream to feel different, and cannot accurately reflect objective facts. For example, if you feel tired, your body and brain are well rested, and you will feel energetic after washing, so you don't need to worry too much about this situation. >>>More
