It will seriously affect work efficiency. This situation is a disorder of the sleep-wake sequence, rather than a disorder of sleep occurrence and maintenance. When encountering these situations, as long as you pay attention to gradually advancing or delaying your sleep time, the problem can be solved. The key is to adjust your diet, psychological factors, and emotions to have good sleep quality! Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. If time allows, after soaking your feet and your feet are moist, do a simple foot massage. It has a very good effect on promoting sleep! Dreaming is a normal and essential physiological and psychological phenomenon of the human body. After a person falls asleep, a small number of brain cells are still active, which is the basis of dreams. Normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body. Experiments on blocking people's dreams show that as soon as the sleeper's brain waves appear to be dreaming, he is immediately awakened and does not allow the dream to continue. Repeatedly, the result is It is found that deprivation of dreams can lead to a series of physiological abnormalities in the human body, such as blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and the electrical response ability of the skin. The function of the autonomic nervous system is weakened, and it can also cause a series of adverse psychological effects in people. Reactions such as anxiety, nervousness, irritability, sensory hallucinations, memory impairment, disorientation, etc. Obviously, normal dream activity is one of the important factors in ensuring the normal vitality of the body. Dreams are a way of coordinating the balance of the human psychological world. Since the right brain hemisphere is dominant during dreams, and the left brain hemisphere is dominant after awakening, during the body's 24-hour day and night activities, waking and dreaming alternate. Appear, can achieve the dynamic balance of neural regulation and mental activity. Therefore, dreams are a way of coordinating the balance of the human psychological world, especially on people's attention, emotions and cognitive activities. Dreamless sleep is not only of poor quality, but also a sign of brain damage or disease. Dreams are the result of the brain's regulatory center balancing various functions of the body. Dreams are needed for healthy brain development and maintenance of normal thinking. If the brain regulation center is damaged, dreams will not be formed, or only some incomplete dream fragments will appear. If dreamless sleep occurs for a long time, people should be vigilant. Of course, long-term nightmares are often a sign of physical weakness or certain diseases. A certain number of dreams every night is necessary. Otherwise, it will lead to a series of abnormal physiological reactions in the human body, as well as adverse psychological reactions, such as tension, anxiety, irritability, memory impairment, and even symptoms such as hallucinations and disorientation. Dreaming is not only beneficial to the recovery of brain function and conducive to the development of the central nervous system; it can also provide a regular and beneficial stimulus to the brain nerves and adjust the central nervous system to a state of readiness to prevent the brain nerves from being damaged. Stopping activities at night results in a loss of function and allows the brain to clear information again. For people who often dream, the content of dream-inducing sleep peptides in the brain is much higher than that of dreamless sleep-inducing peptides. Therefore, the average life span of people with more dream-inducing sleep peptides is longer than that of people with more dream-inducing sleep peptides. Everyone dreams.
