She went to the hospital and checked her heart and digestive system, everything was normal. After the holiday, she was still out of work, and the doctor suggested that she see the sleep and memory clinic of the neurology department.
In the sleep and memory clinic, Deputy Chief Physician Wang Fang of the Department of Neurology found in the conversation with Ms. Zhao that Ms. Zhao is introverted and very strong. Before the festival, she had a problem with a job, which brought a certain impact to the company after the festival. She regretted and blamed herself very much. The neuropsychological scale test showed that the scores of depression and anxiety were relatively high, and there were moderate somatic symptoms, which was diagnosed as being in a state of depression and anxiety. Dr. Wang helped Ms. Zhao gradually get out of her emotional haze through psychological counseling, and prescribed drugs to promote sleep.

During the holidays, they completely relax, their daily routines are completely broken, and their biological clocks are disordered. Such as fear, loss, boredom and anxiety. Every year after the Spring Festival holiday, the Neurology Department of Sleep and Memory Clinic will receive many such patients.
There is no need to pursue a few hours of sleep too much
Ensuring adequate sleep is the most important
“Recently, Gu Ailing won the gold medal in the freestyle ski jumping platform of the Winter Olympics. Her secret weapon to sleep for 10 hours has become a hot topic on the Internet, and many citizens have begun to pay attention to sleep issues. During this time, come The number of people who see sleep memory clinics is 20% more than usual.” Wang Fang, deputy chief physician, said, “Sleep memory clinics are mainly middle-aged and elderly groups, but adolescents and middle-aged and young people have also shown an upward trend in recent years, and most of them are women. It is related to women going through pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and taking on more trivial things in life.”
Many parents brought their children to the sleep memory clinic. The parents hoped that the doctor could provide the secrets to ensure their children’s sleep. Some of the parents directly asked the doctor how to get their children to sleep for 10 hours.
Jing Ping, director of the neurology department of the hospital, introduced that for adolescents, lack of sleep can cause a variety of problems such as decreased reaction ability, decreased immunity, and memory loss. Solving the problem of students’ sleep quality can improve the learning efficiency and promote the healthy development of students’ physical and mental health. A good night’s sleep is an important sign of an individual’s physical and mental health. If a child lacks sleep, various problems will aggravate with the change of age and grade, affecting the minor’s physical and neurological development and even physical and mental development. And for adults, lack of sleep can cause even more problems.
“There is no need to pursue 10 hours of sleep too much, the key is to ensure adequate sleep to improve sleep quality.” The screen lists five criteria for good sleep: first, fall asleep quickly, usually within 30 minutes; second, sleep well It is too deep, and it is not easy to be awakened by a slight sound after falling asleep; the third is to wake up less often, and there is no or rarely wake up during the sleep process; the fourth is to sleep enough, usually healthy people sleep about 6-8 hours a day; the fifth is to stay in bed, The next day was full of energy and no noticeable sleepiness.
The key to high-quality sleep: a regular schedule
How to make yourself sleep better and healthier, Director Jing Ping gave such a “sleep book”:
1. Take a hot bath at least an hour before going to bed, when the body temperature drops, it will help you sleep.
2. Sleep restriction: The bedroom can only be used for sleeping; get up at the same time every day.
3. Take a nap at the right time: For most, it is okay to take a nap from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, but not from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
4. Minor snoring can be treated with some over-the-counter treatments, but severe cases require medical attention.
5. Coffee and alcohol disrupt sleep stages at night and should be avoided before going to bed.
6. The retina of the eye responds to light, producing melatonin in the dark at night, and tightening the curtains when sleeping. Blue light, etc. can reduce the secretion of melatonin and help people wake up early.
7. Foods rich in carbohydrates promote drowsiness, and protein is easy to wake up. Protein for lunch, carbohydrates for dinner, and eat 4 hours before bedtime.
8. Jet lag: fast on long journeys, and eat at the first normal meal time upon arrival at the destination. Because starvation for 16 hours activates the food clock, it may help reset the biological clock.
9. Don’t play mobile phones before sleep: As long as the endogenous photoreceptor optic nerve cells in the retina are stimulated by blue light for 8 minutes, the body will continue to be excited for more than 1 hour, causing the chaos of the biological clock.
10. Muscle tightening and relaxation training: tightening-maintaining-relaxing.
11. Natural sleep therapy: lavender, valerian, etc.
