Why does sub-health insomnia "prefer" white-collar workers?
Sub-health insomnia seems to be particularly popular among white-collar workers, and "insomnia" has even become another label of white-collar status.
Whether you have insomnia or not, just do a simple self-test. Are you very concerned about your sleep quality and anxious? Are you often in a bad mood when you work during the day? Or, it is often difficult to fall asleep, sleep is not deep, it is easy to wake up and dream more, or it is difficult to fall asleep after waking up, and it is easy to get tired or sleepy during the day? If your answers to the above questions are yes, and these sleep disorders appear at least three times a week and last for more than 1 month, then you should pay attention-you have insomnia.
Who is the culprit leading to sub-health insomnia of white-collar workers?
The worst thing to blame is bad working and living habits. Social and work pressures often put white-collar workers in a state of tension, and some people even have psychological barriers. The biological clock changes caused by frequent overtime work, the endocrine dysfunction of the body and the nervousness caused by sleep make it difficult for many people to fall asleep when they want to sleep.
In addition, long-term lack of exercise can also lead to health problems. White-collar workers who travel by car and sit for a long time often have no time for proper physical exercise. At the same time, the burden of too much nightlife and entertainment on the nerves and stomach is also easy to make people unable to sleep peacefully.
Three measures to solve insomnia
Although sub-health insomnia is not a disease, long-term poor sleep quality will lead to decreased immunity, listlessness, accelerated aging and serious memory decline. In fact, the terrible sub-health insomnia is not incurable and preventable. Experts have given three ways to get rid of this pain easily.
Trick 1:
Develop good habits of work and rest
Afternoon 10 Try to wash and sleep. If you really can't sleep at two or three every night, don't stay in bed in the morning. Early to bed and early to rise every day. Only in this way can we have a good sleep.
Trick 2:
Create a good sleeping atmosphere
Choose beds and pillows carefully. Experts pointed out that the spring mattress that white-collar workers usually prefer is actually not conducive to sleep, so it is better to have a wooden bed than a good body. If you must choose a trampoline, don't choose one that is too soft. In addition, pay attention to the height of the pillow. The scientific height of the pillow should be 6-9 cm. In addition, don't put a ticking alarm clock in the bedroom, and the bedroom is suitable for putting an electronic clock.
Trick 3:
With the help of conditioning diet
Pure natural food is a magic weapon to treat sub-health insomnia. Lily, lotus seed, jujube, lotus root starch, mulberry and other natural foods have the effect of calming the heart and calming the nerves. You can eat more similar foods at ordinary times.
If conditions permit, you can also drink a glass of bamboo salt water on an empty stomach every morning. Bamboo salt is not ordinary "salt". It is a natural substance which is bound by natural deep-sea high-purity salt in 3-year-old bamboo, sealed with loess or turpentine at both ends, and calcined at 1000- 1500℃ for 9 times to form lava-like crystals. After such a unique technological treatment, bamboo salt fully absorbs the essence from deep sea sea salt, bamboo, loess, turpentine and other natural substances, and rich trace elements such as potassium, chlorine, calcium and magnesium can supplement the daily needs of human body, which is very beneficial to maintaining the normal structure and function of cells and strengthening metabolism. It can not only diminish inflammation and sterilize, but also effectively promote human sleep and balance physical state.
1, "mini" food is "charged" regularly:
The tense rhythm and complicated affairs often make white-collar workers only eat a few mouthfuls during normal meal time, and the calories and nutrients in food can't meet the needs of body metabolism. The solution is to eat a small amount of food every 2 ~ 3 hours. A cup of skim milk or nutritious cereal and a few slices of bread or biscuits are enough.
2. Best Chinese and Western Breakfast:
For those who want to sleep a little longer in the morning but don't have much time to eat, in order to make you eat and go to work correctly, you can choose the following two best breakfast methods to "solve the problem" for yourself: First, the best western breakfast-milk+bread+fruit (or multiple vitamins); The second is the best Chinese breakfast-soybean milk+boiled eggs+bread.
3, business meals as far away from seafood as possible:
According to the measurement, there is a high probability that there are parasites and bacteria in seafood, and restaurants are too eager for delicious food, and cooking is often not enough. When people relish its delicious food, they may feel sick from their mouths.
Those white-collar workers in suits and ties with laptops often attract people's envious eyes, but they don't know that a new type of urban disease is eroding the bodies of these "elites". This new urban disease is called "white-collar occupational disease" or "office syndrome" abroad. Different from the typical occupational diseases in special industries such as silicosis in the past, this kind of diseases in the digital age can no longer be explained by traditional occupational medicine theory.
The research on "white-collar occupational diseases" in foreign countries started earlier, and some achievements have been made. China has not yet included "white-collar occupational disease" in the scope of statutory occupational diseases, but now the health department and more and more experts have realized its harmfulness, and the research on it is gradually carried out. Professor Wang Sheng from Peking University College of Public Health said that with the improvement of relevant laws and technology, the incidence of traditional occupational diseases such as poisoning and silicosis is declining, while the harm of new occupational diseases such as "white-collar syndrome" to health is increasingly prominent. How to prevent and treat "white-collar syndrome" has become the focus of occupational health research in the world.
Overworking is unacceptable.
As early as 1998, among the top ten occupational diseases in the world published by the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal disorders, nervous system disorders and psychological disorders ranked third, seventh and tenth respectively. In our country, more and more employees complain about their neck and waist discomfort, shoulder, back and wrist pain, cramps, muscle tension or weakness, and some people have symptoms such as dizziness, headache, memory loss, anxiety, insomnia, nervousness and decreased immunity.
Yu Yongzhong, a researcher at the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that overwork beyond normal working hours is the main cause of "white-collar syndrome", so we might as well regard this kind of disease as "occupational overwork syndrome". He divided the occupational hazards of office staff into four categories: heavy workload, long hours, fast pace, excessive mental work making people feel anxious and nervous, long-term high-load work leading to mental system disorder and cardiovascular diseases; Musculoskeletal pain caused by long-term desk, standing, sedentary or improper working methods; Visual tension, visual fatigue, decreased vision and high mental stress caused by overtime and excessive screen work; There is also building syndrome caused by closed and poorly ventilated office buildings.
According to reports, the Beijing Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention conducted a survey of computer workers in the telecom industry, TV stations and newspaper laser phototypesetting workshops from 1996 to 1998 for three consecutive years. The results show that about 30% of the respondents suffer from different degrees of neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome. The main reason is that the body is forced to adapt to the operation needs when using the keyboard, which leads to fatigue damage of skeletal muscle system. About 60% of the respondents often stare at the fluorescent screen, which leads to high tension of eye muscles, long-term fatigue and decreased vision.
White-collar occupational diseases should be prevented early.
Some cities have experienced changes in occupational diseases brought about by industrial restructuring. In 200 1 year, Beijing Municipal Health Bureau decided to broaden the scope of occupational health monitoring services, and on the basis of the original occupational health examination, carried out video, high frequency, electromagnetic field, microwave, high and low temperature, vibration, precision operation and occupational health monitoring for office employees. At the same time, the harmful substances in the modern intelligent office environment are detected, and the environmental sanitation quality standards and prevention countermeasures of the research room are put forward.
Experts believe that "white-collar syndrome" is completely preventable and the method is simple. As long as you observe the working hours, don't overwork your body, just combine work and rest. Moreover, prevention should be given priority to, supplemented by treatment, and we must never wait for the disease to come before treatment.
Experts remind people who work in the office that their bodies should keep a distance of not less than 70 cm from the computer screen when operating the computer daily. In hardware, a computer with less radiation, no glare and stable display should be configured, and the LCD screen is better. At the same time, you should choose a computer desk and chair that suits you and try to adjust it to the state that suits you best. Printers, photocopiers and other office equipment that are harmful to the human body should be placed in a separate room. Pay attention to eye rest, preferably every hour 10 minutes, and do eye exercises twice a day. Although the amount of radiation produced by computer screen is small, it will damage the skin and produce spots after a long time. Relaxation, crow's feet, eye bags and dark circles will appear around the eyes. Therefore, when using the computer, you must apply protective equipment, such as cream and foundation, and it is best to use a computer protective screen. To avoid working in a multi-computer environment, be sure to wash your face after using the computer. It is best for expectant mothers to limit the time of using computers, especially in the high-risk period of teratogenesis in the first three months of pregnancy.
