The answer is that you won't rest at all! Why do you feel tired after sleeping for 1 1 hour? Why did you spend tens of thousands of dollars on holiday in the island country without increasing your enthusiasm for life? First of all, let's see what misunderstandings you have about rest: ■ Mental workers, it's useless for you to make up for your nap. You wrote a manuscript and presided over the meeting all day. When it's all over, you sigh: I'm so tired. I want to have a good sleep today. Our common sense makes our first reaction to fatigue "to lie down". But it's a trap. Sleep is indeed an effective way to rest, but it is mainly suitable for people who lack sleep or manual workers. For manual workers, "fatigue" is mainly due to the production of a large number of acidic substances in the body. If you are tired, you should have a quiet rest. Through sleep, you can replenish lost energy and get rid of accumulated waste. If you are not very tired, you can lie in bed first, close your eyes and rest, so that your muscles and nerves can relax completely before you get up and move. However, if you work in an office, the cerebral cortex is extremely excited, but the body is in a state of low excitement. Sleep has little effect on dealing with this kind of fatigue (unless you stay up late and work overtime, even the normal sleep time can't be reached), because what you need is not to recover your physical strength through "stillness", but to find something to relax your nerves. In this way, you can understand why you are still listless when you don't go out for two days on weekends, but you only need to swim for half an hour after work to glow. ■ Don't stop, just change. Since sleep can't help us rest our brains, what can we do? The answer is not to stop the activity, but to change the content of the activity. More than1000 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex have different functions. They are arranged and combined in different ways to form different joint functional areas. When one area is active, another area will rest. Therefore, by changing the content of activities, different areas of the brain can be rested. Psychophysiologist Serginov did an experiment. In order to eliminate the fatigue of his right hand, he adopted two ways-one is to keep his hands still, the other is to let his left hand move properly when his right hand is still, and then test the grip strength of his right hand on a fatigue tester. The results show that the fatigue of the right hand is eliminated faster when the left hand moves. This proves that changing the content of people's activities is indeed a positive way to rest. For example, if you wrote a business plan for five hours on Friday, you'd better trim the potted plants the next day instead of sleeping in the sun and drying your ass. One more thing, when you can't choose to switch from mental work to manual work, you might as well switch within mental work. Rousseau, an outstanding French enlightenment thinker, once said his experience: "I was not born to learn knowledge, because I will feel tired if I work hard for a little longer, and I can't even concentrate on thinking about a problem for half an hour." However, I have been studying several different problems continuously, and even if it is uninterrupted, I can easily and happily think about them one by one. This problem can eliminate the fatigue caused by another problem, and there is no need to have a rest. So, I made full use of this feature I found in my research and studied some problems alternately. In this way, even if I study hard all day, I don't feel tired. "So, if you have several problems to deal with this day, you'd better do it alternately, instead of finishing one and starting two, and you will soon be exhausted. The best rest is to rekindle the enthusiasm for life. Our fatigue mainly comes from the boredom of the existing unchanging life. Therefore, the best rest items are those activities that make us regain our enthusiasm for life and work. If you accomplish something, you can happily sigh: "Tomorrow is another day. "So this is the best way to restore your enthusiasm and adjust your mood. But unfortunately, we lack the imagination of "rest". The rest methods we can think of are either sleeping or playing. We have provided you with the following list of activities. The basic idea is to solve "fatigue" through "doing" and replace passive indulgence with active rest. Of course, the best way for you is to explore for yourself. In fact, if you think cleaning is a better way to relax than riding a roller coaster, go ahead, no matter what other people in the world are playing. Maybe you can: ● Read comics or novels that make you laugh for two hours instead of singing those unchanging slobber songs in KTV ● Try to give up going to bars on Saturday night, 10 go to bed, then get up at 7: 00, go for a walk in the deserted street, or look at the morning theater that you have never had a chance to watch, and you will find that this day can be different from the past ten million weekends. ● Don't go to resorts that you have been to countless times. Find a street you've never been to and walk through it. You will find that this city makes you feel bored, and as a result, you don't fully appreciate its beauty. ● Travel instead of having fun elsewhere. Go to a place, be curious about the place itself, be happy with the trip, and feel the life outside the experience. Instead of flying for five hours, I just play mahjong in another place, swim in another place, and play ball in another place ..... Starting this weekend, I will learn a new skill, such as playing the electronic piano and drumming ... and practice every weekend 1 hour or more. ● Go socializing. Don't feel tired all the time. Although a little nervous compared with reading, it can also make you more excited and have a sense of identity. You have to deal with people and relatives outside your work circle for two or three days a week. It keeps you from losing your lively nature in the mechanical operation from nine to five. Female friends especially need to go out and get together with friends. At these moments, you are no longer a neutral person with "efficiency" written all over your face, but a charming focus in a flying skirt. Do something difficult if you are a super nervous person. Psychologists have found that the way to relieve tension is to deal with problems that need to be solved by tension. Once, a general manager who was about to have a nervous breakdown found a doctor and offered treatment advice. As a result, he got a prescription to be a lion tamer in the zoo. Fully recovered after a month. So when the pressure is particularly great, you can find yourself another job, not something similar to your occupation. For example, volunteer in an orphanage, apprentice in a complicated machinery factory, or do a super complicated math problem. People who cherish life will have a rest at all costs. After ten and a half days of rest, they came back. Look, what a magical change! They are newcomers. They are full of energy, full of spirit, with new hopes, new plans and new life expectations. They have eliminated fatigue and gained the motivation to set sail again-fuel. Taking some time to rest can bring you a lot of energy and physical strength, give you the strength to do any work and deal with various problems, and give you a happy and correct understanding of life. Is there any other kind of investment in the world that is more beneficial to you? When I hear someone say that they are too busy to have a rest, I feel that this person is a bit abnormal. Or the ability is not enough to cope with the business, and the work is not systematic; Or he is not good at dominating employees, so that he can't run away from his career; Or he is born too stingy, has no subordinates, no team, and even refuses to sacrifice the time to go to the toilet. Of course, if he has no plan and no system in his work, once he leaves his post, everything will not work and naturally he will not be able to rest. However, if he is an organized and coordinated person, if his work fraud is systematic and planned, and he takes a moderate rest, it is a favorable investment for his career, because when he comes back from rest, his energy will be more concentrated and his spirit will be more full. Therefore, his life will be longer. The value of life can be fully reflected and brought into play. Everyone should get rid of the idea that only work takes care of rest. The concept that "life goes on and struggle goes on" is wrong. It should disappear from your mind at once. Otherwise, you will be buried in the ground before you have finished your life journey. Won't your ideal, future and career be ruined then? Therefore, a person who is reluctant to take time off is definitely not a wise man. From the perspective of human nature, the benefits of rest are greater than ourselves. As the old saying goes, "He is sick and everyone is bad." Even the kindest person in his heart will become unreasonable and grumpy when he is physically tired and mentally weak. So, when he needs a rest, you should also rest. Otherwise, at present, no matter you are a student, men, women and children engaged in various occupations, you can't ignore the warning of nature and order you to extend your rest time appropriately and temporarily stop studying or working, otherwise you will be severely punished by the laws of nature. No matter how high your status is, how much money you have, or ordinary people, you are equal in front of life. This is the power given by God to the natural judge. This is an unchangeable natural law of human beings. There is a feeling that we call it boredom, and I have been experiencing boredom inadvertently these days. The busy rhythm over the years has created a stubborn and ridiculous biological rhythm, which always makes me unable to enjoy some peace at rest. In my spare time, I always feel that there is something missing and nothing to do in my life, and I even think I know what emptiness is. I accidentally read an article the other day, and I learned for the first time that there is another saying called "enjoying boredom". Traditional education tells us that "boredom" is a negative emotion, and an enterprising person should never have this emotion, or even leave himself an opportunity to produce it. We have too many responsibilities, so we live a tired life. It is said that the pressure comes from the outside, but I think we demand more pressure, because we have not learned to decompress ourselves in this stressful society. Look at those people who lie quietly on the beach on vacation, and you should know that boredom is a rare realm, perhaps even more rare than conscientious and diligent work. Because this requires you to have a good attitude and long-term vision, you have to accept it first and let your heart calm down before you can really enjoy it. It is by no means a kind of decadence, it is a kind of rest and a kind of savings, which will make us quit the drug addiction of "just working". We were told a long time ago that people who can't rest won't work. But for utilitarian reasons, we have long forgotten this sentence. So we are busy, we work hard, so we are afraid of being bored, afraid of having nothing to do, and even living in fear because of leisure. Work should not be the whole of life, work is only for a better life. We should be masters of our work, not slaves of it. Never think that boredom is negative and unprofessional. So busy people should learn to enjoy life, get used to the feeling of boredom, and get used to this strange and wonderful feeling! What an honor! Remember the SEED rule: you can't work without rest. Medical college of nanchang university Hu, Hu Dayi, Peking University People's Hospital In recent years, intellectuals' "karoshi" frequently appeared in newspapers. For example, the 32-year-old scholar of China Academy of Social Sciences is small; Jiao, a 36-year-old lecturer in Tsinghua University; Gao, 46 years old, Professor Tsinghua University; He Yong, aged 36, is a professor and doctoral supervisor of Zhejiang University. Due to the frequent occurrence of serious karoshi, the average life expectancy of intellectuals in China is only 58 years. The grim reality has sounded the alarm for many young and middle-aged intellectuals and management. The premature death of intellectuals is not only a loss for individuals and families, but also a great loss for the country. One of the important contents of vigorously implementing the talent security strategy is to ensure the safety and health of talents. Young and middle-aged intellectuals pay little attention to their health because of the burden of their careers and families. Long-term staying up late, overwork, psychological stress, lack of exercise, unbalanced nutrition, smoking, alcoholism, sleep disorders and other unhealthy lifestyles are quietly eroding their health. There are several main reasons for this: firstly, it should be said that these intellectuals do not pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and lack dialectical understanding of the relationship between work and rest. They seem to have forgotten the famous sayings "No rest, no work" and "Health is the capital of revolution". Secondly, we don't pay attention to regular inspection. The main diseases leading to premature death of intellectuals are lifestyle diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity and so on. The incidence of these diseases is not only high, for example, the incidence of hypertension has reached 18.8%, and even as high as 25% in some areas; Moreover, the onset age is advanced. For example, coronary heart disease has advanced to 35 -45 years old, at least 10 years earlier than before. These diseases can be asymptomatic in the early stage, so people call hypertension a "silent murderer". Therefore, if you don't check regularly, you will delay treatment until a tragedy occurs. Third, lack of relevant health care knowledge. Although there are many lectures on health care knowledge by famous health education experts in China, it is a pity that most of the lectures focus on the elderly, and young and middle-aged intellectuals are ignored because of their busy work. If young and middle-aged intellectuals want to avoid "karoshi", they should realize the dialectical relationship between: 1 and the combination of work and rest. Remember the proverb "No rest, no work". 2, adhere to the regular inspection. Research shows that regular physical examination is an important measure to prevent and treat diseases, which embodies the policy of putting prevention first and the understanding that prevention is the best treatment. Management should also pay attention to and urge them to conduct regular inspections. 3. Learn relevant health knowledge. Health lectures should not only enter communities, schools, institutions, enterprises and institutions, but also enter university laboratories. Let young and middle-aged intellectuals receive health education and realize the important role of health education. Through the above three efforts, intellectuals can get rid of bad lifestyles and habits, thus greatly reducing the mortality and disability rate of lifestyle-related diseases. Recently, we put forward the "seed" rule of health, that is, the most basic health elements include sleep, mood, exercise and diet. They constitute a healthy "seed" rule (S-E-E-D rule). Its contents include: (1) sleep rules: reasonable sleep, noon nap; (2) Emotional law: emotional stability and peace of mind; (3) Exercise law: aerobic exercise, combining static and dynamic; (4) Diet law: scientific diet and balanced nutrition. It plays a very important role in people's daily health care, and it is the basic element and the first rule to keep healthy. If the majority of young and middle-aged intellectuals can abide by and practice the "seed" rule of health in their daily work and life, I believe that their chances of suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity will be greatly reduced, and talented young and middle-aged intellectuals can make more and greater contributions to the country and the people. Their average life expectancy will certainly rise from 58 to 85. Every day is a rest day. If I haven't done anything for too long (more than a period of time), M: I will feel very unsafe. Jay: I always need a rest. M: But if I rest too long, I will feel guilty. Jay: Then I won't rest every day (laughs? M: I'm talking to myself-I think I'm paralyzed when I'm used to having a rest every day? ) [Excerpt from Today's Starry Night Talk] Every day is a rest day. Although this sentence is not convincing at all among people who are often at rest, it is quite reasonable. Keeping an elasticity, an elasticity of time, an elasticity of mood and an elasticity of thinking is a good reminder for an overly neurotic person like me. I should have the ability and flexibility to return to a stable state after going to the inevitable extreme direction. No wonder I want to play with my children tonight. Oh yeah! How to avoid "holiday syndrome"? To avoid "holiday syndrome", the most important thing is to keep a normal heart. First, we should pay attention to adjustment at the beginning of the long holiday. Planning in advance, how to spend the long vacation varies from person to person, but the principle is not to destroy the normal law of life. Don't rest too much and don't overwork yourself. Second, rest is the main thing. If the long vacation can focus on rest, try to have a relaxed and happy life, moderately participate in more entertainment activities than usual, exchange visits with relatives and friends or reunite with family members. It is not advisable to sleep with your head covered every day or surf the Internet all night. Third, enter the role in advance. People's nerves have the characteristic of "automatic adjustment". Doing some work-related things consciously the day before going to work will help them to enter the working state as soon as possible. Get enough sleep the day before work. Fourth, I want to be happy. Most people suffering from "holiday syndrome" are young people, and there are many causes, such as separation anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, unfairness, frustration and humiliation at work. You can also seek the help of a psychological counselor. After all, mental health will make greater achievements in career and experience more happiness in life!
