Tired Of Reading A Book? A Wave Of Anti-drowsiness Tips

Reading will make you feel sleepy, presumably, this is a common problem for many students. Why is it sleepy after reading a book? What can we do to make ourselves less sleepy and fatigued? Do you find that sometimes you get ready to study hard, but you start to feel sleepy after a while? Is this just an individual special situation, or does it have a general psychological root? Come and explore together~

In fact, sleep itself has nothing to do with reading activities

In fact, being sleepy and reading have nothing to do with it. From a psychological point of view, this is a bad habit formed by conditioned reflex.

For example, you have worked one day and you are exhausted when you get home from getting off work, but you still insist on reading and studying because of the self-examination. But when I picked up the book, I couldn't resist the intrusion of fatigue, so I wanted to throw the book to sleep, but I felt that I couldn't read it if I didn't study it, so I could barely support it.

After so many repetitions, learning and sleeping, two activities that were not originally related, were linked. After continuous strengthening, this connection is gradually fixed, so that reading a book will become a trigger for drowsiness in the future, as long as you pick up a book, you will want to sleep. Of course, some people's drowsiness is not caused by fatigue, they may not be interested in books or dislike learning, etc., thus forming this inhibitory conditioned reflex. Therefore, to overcome this problem, it is necessary to eliminate inhibitory conditioning and establish excitatory conditioning.

This is the definition of sleepiness in reading in psychology. It is not difficult to find out that this is not a personal phenomenon that occurs in individual candidates, but has deep psychological significance. To understand it deeply, to dissect it, is to be able to overcome it better. So, how can the majority of candidates effectively overcome the obstacle of reading sleepiness?

Four Ways to Eliminate Inhibitory Conditioned Emission

01According to personal preference

Everyone has their own points of interest and excitement - whether it's simply listening to music, eating, or creatively arranging a small environment that you like, it can often play a role in improving concentration and stimulating motivation.

If you like listening to music, you can choose some relatively soothing but more energetic music. For example, the piano pieces of Bach and Beethoven are very helpful to stimulate the vitality and inspiration of thinking. Therefore, if you try to read while listening to music, you will also get good results.

If you like to exercise, you might want to stretch your muscles a little at the beginning, rest, and end of the day. For example, it is a good choice to exercise for a while in the morning after getting up in the morning, run for a run, or do exercises. During the day, if fatigue is evident, you can also do some less strenuous activities. In addition to the morning, I am afraid that the evening is also a peak time for reading and sleepiness. So, setting yourself a small recess in the evening, going for a couple of jogging laps outside, or taking a walk, will effectively refresh your mind.

02 Tailored to understand personal biological clock

Generally speaking, the following time periods are not suitable for efficient reading:

①Do not read when you are tired and sleepy. Human function activities have a certain limit, if the activity exceeds the limit, the cerebral cortex will automatically enter a state of inhibition. This is called protective inhibition. Therefore, when you feel tired and sleepy, don't force yourself to read, especially don't "drive at night" to read to avoid bad habits.

②It is best not to read books before going to bed. Some people are accustomed to lying in bed and reading a book and regard reading as hypnosis, which is easy to form inhibitory conditioning.

③ Do not read books immediately after strenuous activity or emotional agitation. Because the law of mutual induction of excitation and inhibition of cerebral cortex nerves tells us that after excitation in the cerebral cortex, inhibition will follow. If you read a book after strenuous activity or emotional excitement, it is easy to establish a connection with the inhibitory response and produce inhibitory conditioning.

④ Don't read a book immediately after a meal. After a person eats, the activity of the digestive system increases, and the blood flow to the brain decreases relatively. The central nervous system mainly controls the digestive system, but is in a state of inhibition to other parts. If you read at this time, not only the effect is poor, but also it is easy to form an inhibitory conditioned reflex.

03 Studying requires a combination of work and rest

Learning should be a combination of work and rest, there is tension and relaxation, and do not tighten the strings of the spirit and not relax. Some candidates have a very strong sense of time, wishing they could seize all their waking hours and enjoy reading the book every second without missing a beat. But everyone's brain works in a certain way. After a period of time, our concentration will decrease in efficiency. At this time, if we still rigidly bury ourselves in reading, I am afraid that we will only get twice the result with half the effort. For students, this can be regarded as common sense, so don't go to the horns.

Studies have shown that air circulation and relatively open space can more easily mobilize the excitement of the brain. The study environment of some candidates is too closed and the air is not circulated, which will also lead to sluggish thinking and easy sleepiness. In addition, if we are in the midst of changing seasons, our bodily function system has not yet fully adapted, and it is easy to get sleepy.

04 Concentrate on the experience

When a person is reading a book that he is not very interested in, he is often prone to negative emotions and sleepiness. From another perspective, it can also be said that when the person does not discover the essence of the "attraction" of the book, he may be tired, tired, and sleepy. So we need to borrow those eyes to discover its uniqueness.

If a person is very sure about a major that is his interest, but the current state of burnout and sleepiness is only caused by short-term frustration, and encountering a bottleneck in the process of reading, there are some points that are difficult to capture in the mind. The inner meaning, then all that needs to be done is to break through it.

Here, I remind everyone not to work behind closed doors and pay attention to communication with others. In the process of reading, I encounter some confusing places. After communicating with others, I may get a sense of clarity of "the willows are dark and flowers are bright in another village"; and when there are useful ideas, they should be shared with others and complement each other. If you find yourself Mastering more knowledge than others will generate some sense of superiority so that your interest and confidence in reading can be strengthened.

When certain learning needs are met, it will not be so easy to cause boredom, so that the process of reading becomes more interesting. Therefore, it is very beneficial to encourage and support each other, when reading or sleepy or has bad emotions.
