Sleepiness is a kind of situation that many people will appear when they go to work, especially when they start to work just after the Spring Festival. Being sleepy at work affects work efficiency very much, so what should be done?
Why do you always feel sleepy when you study or work?
Sleepiness is a sign of physical and mental fatigue. In fact, playing doesn't lead to fatigue. Under normal circumstances, as long as you put the same attention into playing, studying or working, you will feel tired and sleepy after a period of time. The only difference is that in most cases, you will feel tired in the process of study or work, but you will feel tired after playing.
Take computer games as an example. In the process of games, there will be various rewards, such as experience, equipment and so on. The feedback of these games makes people feel happy, and then promotes the release of relevant neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine, so as to increase nerve excitability, and is willing to play all the time to maintain this kind of nerve excitement. The stimulation of most games can also promote the release of some hormones in the body, such as adrenaline, so that the heart rate is accelerated and the metabolism is enhanced. In this way, the blood can be transported to the brain and muscle more effectively to ensure the oxygen content, take away the metabolic waste, and keep the energy. Except for games, other recreational activities have more or less similar effects. But once the entertainment activity is over, as soon as the stimulating feedback disappears, you will soon feel the fatigue caused by loss of energy due to nerve excitation and body tension.
However, learning and working are not the same. Those in the process of learning and working can not be rewarded immediately, and the effect often takes a long time to be reflected; especially when the students are not interested in the content and only for coping, it is difficult to stimulate the body enough, so they will gradually feel tired.
The method of coping is also very simple, as long as the artificial introduction of stimulating feedback in the process of learning and work. For example, if you divide the steps of a goal, you will feel the joy of completing a task after completing each stage; or you can give yourself some appropriate reward, such as taking a rest after completing it, or eating a good meal. For example, sharing your own experience with others, telling friends what you have just learned and what you've made in your work, and getting feedback from others is also a good way to relieve fatigue.
