Beware of sleep disorders after a long holiday: How to quickly adjust your state
Xiao Zhang, who works for a foreign company, is usually very busy and rarely has free time. He had been looking forward to the National Day holiday, and what excited him even more was that his company wouldn't be requiring him to work overtime this holiday. Therefore, he had already filled his holiday schedule with activities a day or two before the holiday started. Many of Xiao Zhang's classmates live in the same city, and everyone wanted to use this long holiday to get together. Xiao Zhang spent the entire holiday in gatherings with friends and classmates, either going sightseeing or attending numerous dinner parties. He often didn't get home until late at night and would start his activities again early the next morning.
The long holiday passed quickly, and Xiao Zhang went back to work in the blink of an eye. After returning to work, Xiao Zhang immediately threw himself into the intense work. Soon, he found that his mental state had been poor since he started working, and he couldn't sleep well at night. Due to the long-term sleep disorder, even his appetite was getting worse. This physical condition made him often listless at work, and he was even criticized by his boss many times for his poor work performance, which made him very distressed.
Xiao Zhang overindulged during the long holiday, even staying up all night drinking and playing cards, without giving his body enough rest, which eventually led to sleep disorders. This not only affected his mental state but also his work performance.
Mr. Zheng is a department manager at a company. One of his biggest wishes is to travel all over China and visit famous historical sites around the world. However, he is usually very busy with work and rarely has long holidays, so his travel plans always fall through. This time, he was given a 7-day holiday for the Spring Festival, and Mr. Zheng was very happy. He immediately arranged a trip for himself, this time an overseas trip. The beautiful scenery and unique cuisine of foreign countries kept Mr. Zheng living a life of "leaving early and returning late" every day. Soon, the 7 days passed, and Mr. Zheng returned to his previous lifestyle. However, he was still unable to "start work" normally. Long-term insomnia made it impossible for him to concentrate on his work. Finally, he had to go to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed him with "sleep disorder" caused by jet lag.
Mr. Zheng's "biological clock" became unbalanced due to traveling in different time zones, and his failure to adjust to jet lag easily led to "sleep disorders".
In fact, medical research has shown that when a person is excessively fatigued, all the muscles in the body are in a state of high tension. In this state, the body produces a large amount of metabolic waste, such as lactic acid and fatigue toxins. These toxins are very detrimental to the normal functioning of the body's organs. If this situation is not improved for a long time, the body is prone to disease, such as vegetative nervous system dysfunction and neurosis, also known as "sleep disorder." If this is not taken seriously, it will seriously affect the physical health, work, and life of working men.
So, how can working men returning from a long holiday get back into the swing of things and be full of energy?
1. Soak your feet in hot water or take a hot bath before bed every day. This can accelerate blood circulation, reduce or eliminate fatigue from holiday activities, and help working men fall asleep better, reducing insomnia symptoms.
2. A light diet is recommended. Eat until you are 70% full. Also, eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, soy products, dairy products, animal liver, beef, fish, eggs, etc., to eliminate fatigue after the long holiday, quickly restore physical strength, and better devote yourself to work.
3. Before bed, you can do some combing and massaging of your hair. This simple action can improve blood flow to the head, enhance the supply of nutrients to brain cells, delay brain aging, improve brain thinking and forgetting abilities, eliminate brain fatigue, and with consistent practice, you can fall asleep more easily.
4. Engage in appropriate physical exercise. To ensure you have sufficient energy for your work, it's essential to participate in suitable physical activities such as walking, gymnastics, and rope skipping. These exercises can effectively relieve fatigue, restore energy, and significantly enhance the body's immunity and resistance.
Therefore, as elites in the workplace, you must pay attention to your health while enjoying the long holiday, so that you can become a healthy and successful person in the workplace.
In a sense, career and money are important standards for measuring a man's success. Therefore, many men mistakenly believe that success comes with a career, and happiness comes with money. However, when they achieve career success and their income increases, they find that they are not necessarily happy.
