I have poor sleep quality at noon. How can I improve it? Do I need to take medicine? Will psychological counseling help?

Hello, dear questioner! It's totally understandable to feel a bit anxious about the quality of your noon nap. It's also natural to feel a little confused. It seems like you've been struggling to rest well at noon for quite some time now, and it's affecting your energy levels in the afternoon. It's only natural to feel a bit uncomfortable when you're not getting enough rest. I can imagine it's making you feel quite worried.

1. "In early April, I was woken up every day at noon for half a month. I haven't had a nap since then. Since then, for the past three months, I've been easily woken up by sounds that didn't affect me before. And if I can fall asleep, I'm at most dazed for 15 to 30 minutes. When I wake up, I find that I'm very tired, in a bad mood, with a headache and body aches, just as if I hadn't slept at all. I feel drowsy every afternoon. In the past three and a half months, I've only had less than ten good naps. Most of the time, I wake up once and fall asleep again. Not getting enough sleep during naps affects my energy in the afternoon. I feel very tired, dizzy and have a headache. I need to catch up on sleep in the afternoon or at night to feel normal again."

(1) It's possible that the questioner's biological clock for napping is a little out of sync. I think what's bothering the questioner is that the sound of the alarm has taken root in your mind, so it's more likely that the questioner will be affected. Don't worry, though! There are ways to adjust this.

First, it's okay to accept that you might not be able to rest as well during your nap. If you don't get enough rest, you might feel less energetic in the afternoon than in the morning, but that's totally normal! Second, when you lie in bed and try to sleep, try not to think, "I must fall asleep," or "I'm falling asleep." If you really can't sleep, just lie in bed and listen to some meditation music to relax your body and mind.

Third, go to the playground with your classmates in the afternoon after school to run, relieve physical and mental stress, and regulate body functions. It'll do wonders for your whole being! Fourth, after catching up on sleep at night, you'll feel that your energy has returned, which is a great sign that the quality of your sleep at night was good. You can go to bed early at night and sleep well at night. If you don't take a nap during the day, it shouldn't have a significant impact.

(2) Sharing my nap. For a while, I couldn't sleep at noon either, and I felt a little sleepy in the rain. But I didn't think it was a problem, so it never affected my physical or mental state. I would just adjust! For example, if I didn't sleep at noon, I would lie in bed and listen to meditation. Sometimes I fell asleep without knowing it. Another thing is that I try to go to bed early at night, so that I don't feel sleepy at noon. But I will still lie in bed and rest for a while. It doesn't have a big impact on my work in the afternoon. Even if I occasionally don't take a nap at noon and feel sleepy in the afternoon, I will jump rope in the afternoon and try to go to bed early at night.

2. "It's the same at school and at home during the holidays. Every time I wake up, I feel bad because I haven't slept enough. I'm tired and irritable. Do I need to take medicine to adjust my naps, or is psychological counseling also an option?"

Hey there! I just wanted to check in and see if you've ever considered taking medication? It can be a great option for some people, but it's not always the answer. If you're sleeping two or three hours a day, struggling with severe insomnia, waking up easily, or feeling persistently low, it might be a good idea to chat with a doctor in the psychiatric department. But I don't think that's the case for you!

So the questioner can adjust himself, but it might be helpful to think about whether he needs to do psychological counseling. After the questioner has tried the above methods, if they don't work, he can also choose to do counseling, where he can communicate one-on-one.

You'll get better, I promise! Just remember, as long as you don't fight sleep, you'll gradually get better.

I really hope my answer is helpful for you!

Hello, question asker.

Hi, I'm Kelly. From what you've said, it seems like you're taking a nap. Is the quality of your sleep at night good?

If you don't get enough rest at noon but get enough sleep at night, you'll feel better the next day.

Our bodies will adjust to the new routine, and you'll feel great in the afternoon after a good nap. I used to take an hour-long nap every afternoon, and I had plenty of energy until 10 pm at night. I stopped taking naps because I had to take care of some things.

I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it slowly.

I think it's that your habits and rhythm have been disrupted. The main thing is that you're probably still emotional because you really want to take a nap. The more you think about it, the more you'll be reminded of it, so it's better not to dwell on it.

The questioner might want to try meditation to calm the mind. It can be tough to get a quiet lunch break at school, and it might be tricky to guarantee one after graduation, too.

From what I've seen, it's pretty rare to be able to take a lunch break in this company. (There are some units where it's possible, though.)

The questioner mentioned a headache. Is it serious?

If it's just the odd headache, there's no need to stress. But if they last a while, think about whether it's because you've been reading too much, which can put pressure on the nerves. You could also check for a problem with your cervical vertebrae.

If the questioner feels that the lunch break has been a long-standing source of distress and pressure, they can seek psychological counseling to get advice from a professional counselor and then decide on the next step.

All medicine has side effects. If you can avoid taking it, try not to. It's best to keep our body and mind happy.

I hope you're doing well.

I just wanted to say that I love you, the world, and I hope you have a great day!

Hello!

Feel the anxiety and worry in your heart about taking a nap? Great! Now, give yourself a big hug!

You say that napping doesn't work well for you, but I'm curious: how is your sleep at night? If you also have trouble sleeping at night, there may indeed be something wrong. The good news is that you can go to the hospital for a physical examination to rule out physical causes.

If you're physically healthy and sleeping well at night but struggling to sleep during the afternoon, it's time to adjust your mentality!

It's so important to understand your own feelings and views on napping. From your description, I can see that you're focusing on the negative effects of napping, which is totally normal. But I think you'll find that there are plenty of benefits to it too!

Three months ago, you were woken up every day at noon for half a month when you were about to fall asleep. You felt that not getting enough sleep during the afternoon affected your energy, and you were very tired, with a headache and dizziness. Once you have formed such a psychological set, every time you take a nap, you will have a certain amount of psychological pressure, always worrying that you will not sleep well, so you really won't sleep well. The situation you are worried about becomes a reality, and you enter a vicious circle. But don't worry! You can break free from this cycle.

Adjusting your perception is a great way to change your mindset!

The good news is that if you sleep well at night and don't sleep well during your lunch break, it's not the end of the world! You can easily adjust your mentality to see your lunch break as a chance to recharge. Even if you can't sleep, closing your eyes to rest can replenish your energy, and it won't affect your work or studies in the afternoon. If you can sleep, go for it! And if you can't sleep, take a rest. When you think like this, the pressure melts away, and you can fall asleep naturally.

Now for the fun part! Let's talk about the distraction method.

Guess what! You can actually fall asleep without even trying if you read a book or listen to a novel before bed. It's true! The reason some people can sleep quietly while others can't is that the more you try to be quiet, the more distracting thoughts you will have. But if you focus on something else, you'll be amazed at how easily you fall asleep!

Relaxing with music is a great way to unwind!

And there's more! Listening to some soothing music, such as lullabies, alpha brainwave music, rain sound hypnosis, etc., can also help you sleep.

Now for some breathing relaxation!

Amazing news! Breathing exercises can help our body relax. Targeted breathing exercises can effectively relax the brain nerves and quickly enter a state of sleep. You can do this before going to bed, breathing relaxation exercises or Jin muscle tightening and relaxation exercises and 478 breathing exercises, etc.

Once you've done your breathing exercises, you can use the energy infusion method to remind yourself that your body is full of new energy and vitality! You'll be ready to take on the afternoon with a fresh, invigorated mindset.

And there's more! Paying attention to a regular routine and moderate exercise can all contribute to a good night's sleep.

If you're concerned about the noise disturbing your sleep again, don't worry! You can easily block it out with earplugs.

I'm thrilled to answer your question, and I hope this answer from Hongyu helps!

Thank you for your question. I enjoy reading.

Firstly, I am pleased to see your question as it allows me to assess my own value.

I am happy to be of assistance. I believe I can be of help to you.

Firstly, it should be noted that taking a nap is a habit. It is possible that you previously had the habit of taking a nap.

However, it appears that the quality of your afternoon nap is not optimal. Consequently, you may experience some discomfort due to your deviation from the established routine.

For example, if an individual who typically takes a nap at noon does not receive a quality nap on a given day, they may experience significant discomfort.

You are accustomed to taking naps. Conversely, a good night's sleep can ensure that you are full of energy and highly productive all afternoon.

Furthermore, breaking this habit may result in feelings of discontent. Therefore, you are currently considering adjusting your state of mind, or taking medication, to ensure you maintain adequate sleep or revert to your previous habits.

Please make yourself comfortable and resume your previous habits.

Secondly, our sleep patterns can be improved through psychological adjustment or relaxation training. Meditation is also an effective method, although it does not necessarily require the use of drugs.

Furthermore, drugs are typically addictive, and their efficacy diminishes over time.

The most effective method for achieving this is through psychological adjustment and training to ensure optimal sleep quality. You mentioned the use of drugs or the option of consulting a psychological counselor.

If you have a set budget, you may be interested in the Meditation Planet, which is run by Yixin.

Please note that the current price is 49 yuan per year, with the price reverting to 160-70 yuan per year after the 22nd.

It would be beneficial to incorporate meditation into our routine to improve the quality of our sleep. I recommend the Meditation Planet as a solution.

In addition, dormitory living can be noisy, which can impede rest and study.

Furthermore, it is likely that you also feel lively when you are with your college roommates. Having your own good friends will undoubtedly contribute to feelings of happiness and joy.

Thus, university life has both advantages and disadvantages. While there is a lack of private space, there is also the benefit of having numerous friends with whom to socialize and study.

If we wish to mitigate the noise in the dormitory, we may consider implementing solutions such as earplugs.

As an example, we can utilize headphones to listen to meditation. Given the inherent difficulty in ensuring that everyone is ready to sleep at the same time, this is an effective solution.

Therefore, it is necessary to overcome our habits to a certain extent. We can consider alternative methods to guarantee that we and our roommates can fully enjoy our habits. It is not advisable to take medication.

It is important to note that all drugs have side effects and can potentially lead to addiction. These factors must be carefully considered.

I would like to suggest that you consider Meditation Planet as a potential resource. You may also wish to explore the services of psychological counselors, such as those who treat sleep disorders or those who use hypnosis. These professionals may be able to offer more effective solutions than my methods, given their specialized training.

We can overcome our own factors and achieve the greatest possible comfort in the dormitory environment. At the same time, university life should be very beautiful, and there are some things that we may not be able to enjoy or get used to at home.

Furthermore, there are numerous attractive locations. Therefore, universities are not ideal environments, but we can enhance them.

Thank you for posing the question, which has enabled me to recognize my value and appreciate the beauty of the world while assisting you. I hope your issue can be resolved satisfactorily.

I hope that my response has provided you with some useful ideas. Best regards, [Name]

Hi, landlord! I'm April from "April without rain."

I can see your distress, but I can also see your potential for change! After losing the good habit of taking a nap, your entire routine has been disrupted, as if the hands of a clock have been turned around. I can also feel that the habit of taking a nap is quite important to you and is a good habit that you hope to continue.

I really agree with this habit of yours! A simple nap can really help us release some of the stress of the day. I'm also curious about what exactly interrupted your rest. Since I can't talk to you, I can't really understand what the situation is, but I believe that the voice that interrupted you must have something special about it. It interrupted not just your nap, but a good habit that you have been sticking to! Or you could say that "taking a nap" is your own way of self-healing. It helps you find time to release yourself from the tiredness of the day!

You may think it's just a nap, but it's actually an amazing action that your body and mind have perfectly coordinated and polished!

Now, your self-healing behavior is restricted, and you naturally feel blocked, especially when it becomes a habit, which naturally plants an unchangeable subconscious in your mind. But here's the good news! If we think about it carefully, if we lose the "self-healing method" in the form of napping, we can simply find other ways!

I truly believe that it will come, and I also believe that you can temporarily let go of the habit of "taking a nap" and start exploring some other ways. This will take some time and a little effort, but it will be worth it! Because the body will also adapt, it will find that the way of taking a nap can no longer satisfy the desire to repair itself or feel that this behavior is being hindered. It will naturally eliminate this habit slowly and consciously, and you will be amazed at how quickly it happens!

But your personal consciousness will still rely on such a pattern because it is a "habit" that you insist on, and it's a good and beneficial one for your body! At this point, your body and consciousness are actually fighting, so you have the exciting choice of either staying put and waiting or making some changes.

You can even choose a time of day to make meditation a habit! It's as simple as taking a nap. You'll just close your eyes, but not to let your awareness sink unconsciously. Instead, you'll find a better grounding for your body and consciousness. And the best part is, you can use the "Meditation Planet" from Yi Xinli or download Tide, which has many meditation guides!

Or you can search for "muscle relaxation training" and follow the audio instructions to relax your muscles and brain. This is a great way to unwind!

Or, you could try turning off your phone and focusing on reading a chapter of a book. Don't worry about seeing anything in the book – just use it as a guide to relaxation!

Remember, no matter what form you use, their purpose is not to get the job done. They are a tool for self-healing! If you are willing to try, I believe you will gain some brand new experiences.

Be more patient with your body! I truly believe that through this change, you will value the amazing things that this habit brings you more than the habit itself.

First, I'd love to hear about your overall sleep situation!

You've been paying attention to napping, which is great! It means you can't sleep well due to external environmental disturbances during napping, so you feel drowsy in the afternoon, lack energy, and are tired. You also get dizzy and have headaches. But don't worry! You can make up for the sleep you missed in the afternoon or at night.

If you take naps, make sure they're quality! Napping is a great way to "catch up on sleep," but remember, you still need 8 hours of sleep at night.

I'd love to know how your sleep at night is!

If you rely so much on naps, it might mean that your sleep at night could be even better! If you make sure your naps are of a high quality, you'll have more energy to take on the world in the morning.

Secondly, there are so many factors that affect sleep! Things like the external environment and your mental state can really make a difference.

You said that you were "woken up" at school, so naps are not effective, but you still can't sleep well when you get home. The good news is that this should not be caused by external factors!

Have you been feeling stressed recently? It's so important to identify any stressful events that might be affecting your sleep. Once you've done that, you can start to relax and enjoy a great night's sleep!

If this is the case, there are plenty of ways you can relax and de-stress before bed. Try exercising, listening to soothing music, talking to friends, and other methods of relaxation and stress reduction to first relax your tense nerves, which will be conducive to a good night's sleep.

Third, let's make naps more flexible!

The great thing about napping is that it can really help to supplement sleep and relieve fatigue. But even if you don't get a great nap, there are plenty of other ways to make up for it. For instance, you could try taking a few more naps in the afternoon, even if they're only a few minutes long. This can be a great way to restore energy and relieve fatigue.

It's a common problem: the more nervous and anxious you are about sleeping problems, the less sleep you get. But there's a way to break the vicious circle!

No two people follow the same routine all the time, and that's a good thing! As we experience changes with age, there are always things that will affect or even change our routine. Making timely changes is also a way to adapt to the environment, which is exciting because it means we can always try new things!

If the school can't provide a great place to nap, no problem! You can find other spots to catch some Zs. You don't have to sleep for 30 to 40 minutes. A few minutes or even ten minutes is perfect!

Sleep is a form of rest, and when you are tired, you will naturally fall asleep. If you feel unable to sleep during your nap, don't worry! You can just wait until sleepiness strikes.

Also, the 30-minute nap you mentioned still doesn't seem long enough. I don't know how long you usually nap, but I'm excited to tell you that a good, scientific nap only takes 20 minutes!

If you sleep for 20 minutes, you will enter a deep sleep. While our time does not allow us to sleep for a full sleep cycle, 20 minutes is enough to recharge your batteries! So a nap is not the longer the better, 20 minutes is enough.

If you still feel tired, don't worry! There are plenty of other things you can do to feel better. Try some stretching exercises, organize your to-do list, clear your mind, or reduce stress.

Sleep well!

Hello. Meeting in person would be the ideal.

We are all "nap control." We need to maintain good energy and be more energetic and free to complete some of the things we need to do every day. We are all people with aspirations.

It's infuriating and hurtful when you're interrupted while taking a nap! I'm reminded of a line from My Love Apartment, a Chinese TV series, in which Meijia says, "Whoever disturbs my nap, I'll spray them with a mouthful of salted soda and kill them!"

You didn't mention it, but I'm still curious. You're in a dormitory, right? What could possibly be the reason for interrupting your precious nap time?

I think the reason is as follows:

1⃣▶️ The dormitory is quiet. Everyone is sleeping or doing other things. It is the other dormitories that are making the noisy sounds in the hallway.

I've got some ideas for you, but you'll have to see for yourself.

We should definitely put some kind words on the doors of the dormitories in the corridor, such as "Tired to the point of doubting life, tired to the point of being in a daze, good afternoon, please do not disturb." (The above sentence comes from Baidu, but I'm sure I can do better.)

The corridor is a public space, and everyone has needs. I can buy some exquisite earplugs, put them in, and instantly the world will be quiet.

2⃣▶️ The other roommates are full of energy and happy, and they are having fun everywhere.

I've given you some ideas, but you'll have to try them out for yourself.

Look your friend in the eye and tell them, "Come and tuck me in. I can't sleep without you."

If the other person doesn't understand, we can simply and directly tell them, "I'm really sleepy right now and need a nap to survive."

Use earplugs and eye masks. See the previous article for more information.

I'm going to tell you how I fall asleep quickly.

When you tell yourself, "I won't be unable to sleep again today," or "I won't be disturbed again," focus on your breathing. Feel each breath, the slight coolness of each breath, and the changes in your abdomen. In just a few minutes, you'll be drifting off to sleep.

You can also find sounds that help you sleep, such as light music or audio of a certain person. I personally prefer the latter, often falling asleep listening to Mr. Zeng Qifeng or other sounds that have a sense of feeling. It's the best way to sleep.

You should also follow a meditation routine. It doesn't take long, but it's highly effective at restoring blood flow.

If none of the above, including some methods from other friends, work, as you said, you should definitely go to the hospital to get it checked out.

You should also talk to a counselor to see if you have been under stress recently and need to deal with it.

I'm sure you'll find a way to have a nice nap.

Good day, my name is Jiayun.

Your previously established afternoon nap routine has been disrupted, and you are experiencing a degree of discomfort. You are attempting to resume your previous habits, but the process is proving challenging.

Experts recommend that, when feasible, a 30-60 minute nap half an hour after a meal can help alleviate sleepiness, prevent coronary heart disease, and regulate mood. It is understandable that a disrupted nap may result in a less than optimal mood.

If you do not get sufficient rest during your lunch break, you will need to make up for it in the afternoon and evening. Sleep experts at the German Institute of Psychiatry have found that the body needs sleep during the day as well as at night.

There are three peaks of sleepiness at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m., with the peak at 1 p.m. being particularly pronounced. There appears to be a scientific basis for feeling sleepy in the afternoon, in addition to a desire to rest after a meal.

I believe that your lunch break should be a time for recharging, not a source of fatigue. Consider allowing yourself to rest whenever your body requires it.

Then, proceed with adjusting your habits during your lunch break.

During this period, recurrent sleep disruptions will induce a degree of nervous tension, and subsequent forced sleep will be ineffective in alleviating this pressure. It is essential to first release these existing tensions to facilitate relaxation of the nerves.

Otherwise, if you allow yourself to become nervous during your lunch break, you will have less time for rest.

It is therefore advisable to avoid forcing oneself to sleep during the lunch break. Should sleep be unattainable, it is not beneficial to attempt to sleep. Instead, it is preferable to allow oneself to sleep when tired. When pressure regarding the lunch break is reduced, it is likely that overall wellbeing will improve.

I hope this message finds you well.

Everyone is a beacon, whether asking questions or answering them. Through words, we can illuminate the hearts of more people, and this is our shared energy—it's an amazing thing!

Hello! I'm a mindfulness coach, and I totally get where you're coming from. I'm also really passionate about helping people with their sleep issues. Personally, I find it tricky to fall asleep during the day (light and noise are my enemies!), and I sleep lightly, so I can easily be disturbed by the slightest noise.

I totally get it! I only need to rest for 15-30 minutes at noon to be able to maintain the energy for the rest of the afternoon. If you don't have time to rest, you will indeed lack energy throughout the afternoon. But don't worry, I also have my own solutions, which I'll share with you!

There are three amazing treasures in the sky: the sun, the moon, and the stars! And there are three incredible treasures in a person: spirit, energy, and vitality!

We often hear this amazing saying: a person who feels energetic and full of vitality comes from their spirit. There are so many famous people online who talk about what "spirit" is, and we can learn more and gain more professional knowledge!

I absolutely believe that vitality and inner motivation reflect a person's positive energy!

Appropriate rest, including the quality of night's sleep and naps, will affect our mood and energy. So, as you said, if the quality of your nap is not guaranteed, it will affect your afternoon mood. But don't worry! There are plenty of ways to make sure your nap is as good as it can be.

Sleep is divided into two amazing states: deep sleep and shallow sleep. Since naps are relatively short, it's a bit challenging for the brain to enter a deep sleep state.

This is especially true for people who love to take naps! If they don't get enough rest or if the rest is not good, they will easily feel dazed, groggy, and heavy.

The great news is that between 11 pm and 2.3 am, we enter a deep sleep state, where the brain gets sufficient rest. This deep sleep plays a very good protective role for the brain. And there's more! Shallow sleep can also promote memory and learning.

? 2. How to solve the problem of the quality of naps

My personal recipe for success is to try to rest in a quiet, undisturbed environment with non-glare lighting. If the conditions aren't quite right, no problem! You can simply listen to meditation to cultivate your ability to meditate, which also has a very good sleep-inducing effect.

I chose Mr. Liao Yue-peng's hypnosis course, and the 30-minute efficient sleep is absolutely perfect for lunchtime!

And another thing: when you go to sleep, try to empty your mind as much as possible. It's amazing how our brains work! Sometimes it may seem like you're being disturbed by external factors, but in reality it's just our brain thinking non-stop.

Just picture this: we've had the experience of being so sleepy that we just carried on regardless of the thunder roaring around us. At this point, our conscious mind has stopped working.

I really hope the above is helpful to you! And I just want to say that I love you, the world, and I'm here for you! ?

Hello, landlord! I really hope my answer can be of some help to you.

Your landlord's description really reminds me of the sleep deprivation experiment! You said that your sleep quality was good, but in early April, you were woken up by noises when you were falling asleep at noon. This went on for half a month, which made your experience very bad. You were sure that you had to take a nap, but during that period of time, you didn't take a nap once! This must have been so confusing for you because it broke your order.

Hi there! I've been struggling with sleep for the past three months. I've noticed that I'm easily awakened by sounds that didn't affect me before. If I do manage to fall asleep, I'll be groggy for at most 15 to 30 minutes. When I get up, I feel very tired and my mental state is poor. I have a headache and feel as tired as if I hadn't slept at all. The good news is that when you make up for lost sleep in the afternoon or evening, you can regain your normal energy.

This means that your whole body and mind are awake during that time. If you've been woken up a lot for more than ten days, your body might have gotten used to being on high alert. It's totally normal for your body to react this way — it's just your body's way of protecting you!

Sleep is really important, don't you think?

Psychologists have done so much research on sleep! They've even done sleep deprivation experiments. Did you know that sleep can be divided into two types? There's non-rapid eye movement sleep and rapid eye movement sleep, also known as fast wave sleep. This is based on the electroencephalogram, electromyogram, and eye movement performance during sleep.

Sleep deprivation experiments are a really important method for studying the function and mechanism of sleep.

Right now, most of us know that sleep is made up of five stages, with a different stage being experienced every 90-100 minutes. We also know that our normal sleep structure cycle is made up of two phases: non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM).

These two sleep cycles switch back and forth with each other, and each change is called a sleep cycle. There are usually 4-5 of these cycles per night, which means there are 4-5 sleep stages. Non-rapid eye movement sleep is further divided into the stages of falling asleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and deep sleep.

It's so important to understand the different stages and cycles of sleep. This is the foundation for designing sleep deprivation experiments. These experiments have given us so much scientific evidence about how sleep works.

1. It's so important to get enough sleep! When we don't get enough sleep, it can make us feel really emotional, irritable, and inattentive. It can also affect our memory, make us think more slowly, and even make us feel paranoid. In fact, when rats don't get enough sleep, they get really weak and uncoordinated, and sometimes they even die!

It's so interesting to see how our bodies work! Postmortem autopsies have found enlarged adrenal glands, gastric ulcers, pulmonary edema, and more. On the other hand, it's been found that some athletes participating in sports competition events have an increase in sleep of 18% to 27% overnight.

This shows just how important sleep is for helping us feel less tired and stronger again!

2. It's so important to get a good night's sleep after you've been active!

When people are awakened during the deep sleep period, that is, when they are selectively deprived of the fourth stage of sleep in the non-REM stage, it is found that there is a rebound phenomenon in the fourth stage of sleep. This means that after the deep sleep period is deprived, there will be more deep sleep periods in normal sleep.

3. Sleep is great for keeping our emotions in check!

It's so important to get enough sleep! When we don't get enough REM sleep, it can take a few days to feel back to normal. After a few days of waking people up during REM sleep, they often feel anxious. But when they resume normal sleep, they also feel the effects of the lack of REM sleep. And when they get enough REM sleep again, they feel better.

4. Sleep is great for enhancing your memory!

Psychologists have made an amazing discovery! They found that our brains convert short-term memory to long-term memory while we sleep. During the rapid eye movement stage, our brains are really busy synthesizing proteins and storing memories. All of this is stimulated by the various stimuli we experience before bed.

The most important thing I learned from reading about sleep deprivation experiments is that, unless there's a really good reason, you should never wake someone up from sleep. It's so important to let people sleep! If you wake them up, it can really mess with their sleep patterns and affect their physical and mental health.

It's totally normal to experience these symptoms after being woken up a lot during the night. But the good news is that, as long as we give it a little time, we can establish new conditioned reflexes to help us sleep peacefully during the afternoon and make sure our naps are as good as they can be. I'm sure you'll be back to your usual self in no time!

I totally get it! I get up early too, and I have to take a nap at noon or I'll feel groggy and out of it in the afternoon. But I've also noticed that many other friends and relatives don't have the habit of taking naps, and they're still just fine!

It's possible that we've come to view naps as an essential part of our daily routine, and we find it difficult to function without them. Over time, we've formed a natural rhythm that we rely on, and when we don't reach this state, we feel a bit out of sorts. This is perfectly normal! We can choose to have the habit of taking a nap every day if we want to. Now, we're looking for a good, restful sleep that leaves us feeling secure and satisfied during our nap. You can create a safe and nurturing sleep environment for yourself.

This environment includes not just the physical space around you, but also your mental and emotional state.

Your physical environment can play a big part in how well you sleep. It's important to protect yourself from disturbances during your sleep time. One way to do this is to create a separate space for yourself. You can also let people who may disturb you know how long you'll be sleeping for and kindly ask them not to wake you up, no matter what. This can help you create a good sleeping environment for yourself.

Another option is to sleep together in the same room. When I was at university, we all slept together like that. We closed the door, drew the curtains, and slept together. It felt very safe, secure, and quiet.

2. Psychological environment: It's totally understandable that you're worried about being disturbed. It's natural to have those concerns when you've had bad experiences in the past. It's also understandable that you're having trouble sleeping.

But the good news is that other people are not going to disturb you again. This means we can keep giving ourselves positive suggestions. We can associate napping with comfort and safety. We can establish a positive conditioned response. For example, you can use the safe haven sleep aid method every time you nap. After closing your eyes, imagine that you are in the safest place. You are very safe and secure. There is nothing to worry about. You are safe, and everything is fine. In this way, you can fall asleep in a state of mind that is particularly safe and reassuring. After a number of consecutive times, you will find that good nap state again.

You also mentioned that in the past three and a half months, you've only had less than ten good naps. It'd be really helpful for you to reflect on this and summarize. Do you think there's anything in common between those times?

I'd love to know why those few times were more effective. I know that when I've had a good nap, I sleep better for longer. So I'm wondering if we can find our own rhythm and increase the number of times we sleep better?

I hope this has been helpful! If you've been trying to make changes on your own for a while and haven't seen the results you're looking for, it might be time to reach out to a professional for some guidance.

Wishing you all the best!

Hello! I've got a delicious piece of watermelon here to help you cool down and lower your internal heat.

I'm thrilled to be able to help!

I totally get it. It's not easy for you, and it's frustrating when your nap is interrupted.

Your lunch break is constantly interrupted, which presents an exciting challenge to fit in as much rest as possible during your limited time!

It's so frustrating when you're woken up in the middle of a nap!

In early April, you were woken up by noises every time you fell asleep at noon for half a month. Now, you're easily woken up by noises!

This may be due to passive sensitivity in your body. What was once a tolerable sound for you now wakes you up at the slightest noise. You are easily disturbed by noise, which really makes you feel like you can't sleep well and makes you a little restless.

Because the process of sleeping is interrupted, the body will produce a state of aversion, and people will easily become irritable. But don't worry! This just means that you need to make some changes to your routine to get back to that deep, restful sleep you're used to. Once you do, you'll feel like a new person! Irritability will consume physical strength and energy, making you feel physically tired and mentally fatigued. But you can beat this! Just make a few simple changes to your routine and you'll be back to your old self in no time. Headache, tired body.

It could also be that you've set a limit on how long you can sleep at noon. That means you get to try to fit in a 15 to 30 minute power nap! It's a challenge, but you can do it!

Sleep is also a big problem. You are used to taking a nap, and you are excited to adjust back to your old nap routine. You are ready to stick to it every day!

If you really want to improve your afternoon nap, you can also go to a regular hospital and consult a doctor. A regular doctor will diagnose whether your current nap is healthy or whether it needs some medication to help.

Everyone has their own biological clock, and it's totally normal! If you're worried about whether your body is normal and whether this will affect your afternoon nap, or if you're too nervous about whether you will have the energy to study in the afternoon and want to change this as soon as possible, you can go to a regular hospital for a check-up.

I really hope you get better soon and don't get dizzy or have headaches! I also often can't sleep well when I'm disturbed, but I know you'll get through this!

Sending you lots of hugs! I really hope you get a great nap.
