On vehicles
is where miracles happen
not only has it changed the way humans have moved for thousands of years
liberates people who are used to travel animals
also cured many insomnia patients
I believe that many people are taking transportation
Occasionally
had the experience of dozing off, sitting, standing, bumping my head
But have you thought about it
Why do I always sleep better in a quiet bedroom
I always feel sleepy in a bumpy and noisy car?
It’s the peak of the small holiday travel (in some areas)
Uncle will tell you today
The truth behind this
Reason 1: I remembered my mother’s arms
Anyone who has been in a car knows that
Without seat belts
Lean back when braking
Left to the left when turning left
Otherwise, you may fly out of the seat The dangers
Want to avoid this
It all depends on the vestibular organs constantly sending adjustment signals< /p>
It is our sensor for our own motion state
and the position of our head in space
so
During a rocky ride
our vestibular organs are constantly stimulated
and this behavior is like a mother holding a baby Sleeping
like walking around
calming effect
making it easier to fall asleep
strong>
Reason 2: White noise is more suitable for falling asleep
We must all have the experience of being unable to get out of bed on rainy days
This is because
rain and engine sounds are white noise
their uniform and consistent sound
It can relax people’s vigilance
and block some small changes
so it’s more likely to make people drowsy in the car
As opposed to colored noise
Sudden changes in volume
Wakes up immediately
Cause 3: Brain strikes
The brain is normal Work
needs to consume a lot of oxygen
but the environment inside the vehicle is closed and crowded
the oxygen available for breathing is reduced
Increased carbon dioxide
Oxygen-deficient brains go out of action
For example, the reticular activation system is inhibited
allowing people feel sleepy
But it’s not a solution to strike for too long
It’s you who will eventually starve to death
At this time, your brain willWill give myself a raise
Make you mouth open for oxygen
reason 4: The body working against you
“Paradoxical Intention Method”
is a kind of psychotherapy to get patients out of symptoms
the most intuitive An example is insomnia
The more you want to fall asleep, the more you wake up
common in Entering the service area, radiant
drivers who are drowsy on the highway
The problem of drivers being drowsy is much more serious than that of passengers< /p>
If you drive at a speed of 100km/h
squint for 3s
equivalent to 83.4 meters without a vehicle
So
If you are a driver who is prone to dozing off
I urge you to write down the following refreshing methods as soon as possible
Method 1: Turn on the ambient light
High light intensity
can inhibit the secretion of melatonin
of which
The effect of blue-green light is better
So when driving at night, turn on the ambient light
Method 2: Some music
Appropriate music
It can improve the driver’s alertness and relieve fatigue
monotonous On the highway
Heavy music can be a temporary boost
but prolonged listening may be distracting
complex city roads
Old drivers are advised not to listen to music
Otherwise, they may relax their vigilance
New drivers can listen to light music
Relieves physical fatigue and shortens reaction time
Criminal 3: Scientific intake of caffeine
Caffeinated beverages
such as energy drinks, coffee, tea
p>
They can excite the cerebral cortex
note that
if your body is about coffee Due to insensitivity
and drinking a higher sugar coffee drink
reverse And may make the body more sleepy
This is because blood sugar rises
Insulin secretion increases
This process will form 5 -HT
Although
the above mentioned
are all ways to cure the symptoms
