On the way home, Niu Geng saw Li Chenggong yawning while driving because he didn't sleep well at night, so he volunteered to be a driver. But when he was driving, he snored ... Not surprisingly, the friendship car turned into a haystack on the roadside, and they just won the first prize and turned into a pile of scrap iron before it was hot.
Don't laugh yet. Think about yourself. Have you ever had a fight with your eyelids open? You know, dozing off is a taboo in driving. At present, the annual population migration-Spring Festival travel rush Peak is about to begin. How can I ensure that I don't feel sleepy when driving home? Bian Xiao, this will provide you with anti-sleepy tips.
Sound stimulation
If you are really sleepy, you can choose to listen to music to adjust. But we also need to make it clear that listening to music will not have a qualitative impact on driving level. In other words, music will not make a road killer a dwayne douglas johnson, nor will it make an old driver forget how to drive.
The choice of music is also particular. Only by choosing the right music can we get twice the result with half the effort.
Light music can make people quiet, and even for some people, light music has a certain hypnotic effect. Although heavy music can keep people awake, long-term "hi" will distract the driver and easily lead to accidents.
If you feel tired, you can choose light-paced music to refresh yourself a little, and then turn off the music and concentrate on driving after you are much more awake. Of course, people who don't like listening to music can also choose other audio sources to stimulate themselves to stay awake, such as using a book-listening APP and talking to their wives about how much lipstick they spent this month. ...
visual stimulus
Have you ever wondered why you are sleepy? And the more sleepy you are at night?
This is actually easy to explain from a biological point of view. The pineal gland in our brain can secrete two substances, one is adenosine and the other is melatonin, which are closely related to sleep. Melatonin is like a signal, which will "inform" the tired body to enter a state of rest. When the light is not as strong at night as during the day, the secretion of melatonin will increase greatly, so we want to sleep.
From this point of view, a doctor made an in-depth study on the relationship between light and sleep, and wrote "Study on Healthy Lighting in Daytime Classrooms in Chongqing". It is mentioned that when the intensity of external light increases, the secretion of melatonin in the human brain will be inhibited to some extent, and the inhibition of blue light and green light is particularly obvious compared with other colors of light.
With this theory as a practical basis, the next time you are sleepy after burning the midnight oil, if you happen to have an ambient light in the car, you can try to adjust the color of the light to blue or green. This can appropriately reduce the secretion of melatonin, and people will naturally be more awake.
Of course, in this way, you are likely to find that it is not only your own spirit that will cheer you up. Imagine, on a dark night, you are driving along a quiet road, and suddenly you find that the car opposite has turned green. ...
Olfactory stimulation
When it comes to olfactory stimulation to stay awake, people will definitely think of wind oil and cool oil. You must have had a similar experience-when you are sleepy, you open that magical little box, take it out and apply it to your temple a little bit, and then the whole person seems to be able to resurrect with blood.
Essential balm and cooling oil have such magical effects because they are rich in peppermint oil, menthol and menthone. Once these substances enter our body, they can promote the blood circulation speed, enhance the excitement of the brain, promote the inhalation of oxygen and the discharge of carbon dioxide, and people will naturally be full of energy.
Besides the cool mint smell, what other smells can refresh your mind? Of course there is!
A study by the RAC Foundation in Britain mentioned that the smells of cinnamon, lemon and coffee, as well as the salty sea breeze, can make people take a deep breath and reduce fatigue.
It should be noted that the fragrance of chamomile, lavender and jasmine will gradually calm people's minds, so you should never use them to refresh yourself when you are sleepy-but you can still buy a large bunch of chamomile and put it in the trunk, put it in the bedroom when you get home, and then have a good sleep.
Taste stimulation
There are two main points in choosing refreshing food when driving. First, the food is small and easy to carry in the car. Second, the effect is obvious and immediate. When you want to drive, "a bottle of green stick in your left hand and a pair of thunderbolt gloves in your right hand" is impossible.
At this time, Red Bull and coffee can talk. I believe old drivers are experienced. Drink a bottle of red wine before burning the midnight oil? Cow, the effect is leverage. They are refreshing because they contain caffeine.
As we mentioned earlier, adenosine is one of the main substances to promote sleep, and caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist, which can competitively inhibit the combination of adenosine and its receptor in the brain. If the above words are too brain-burning, then you can simply understand that caffeine will prevent adenosine from working. )
If you don't want to rely on caffeine, you can also rely on pure taste stimulation to keep yourself awake. For example, take a bite of pickled chicken feet, mint, mustard and so on. Of course, if you think you are a real warrior, you can also take cool oil orally and lick your mouth. It feels like kicking two feet on the head. Say yes after using it! Don't ask how Bian Xiao knows.
Take turns driving.
The best way to relieve fatigue is to have a rest. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work". If you are so sleepy that your eyelids are "fighting", and at this time, there are just people who can drive among your companions, then taking turns driving will be your best choice.
You may have questions, what should you do if your other half is too bad at driving?
It doesn't matter, as long as you sit in the passenger seat and feel the "road killer" driving quietly for three minutes, you will be almost awake.
Well, Bian Xiao finally regained his serious face! Due to factors such as not having a good rest or driving for a long time, fatigue is a problem that almost every driver will encounter, and there are countless traffic accidents caused invisibly. If your physical strength is really overdrawn, I hope everyone can find a place to rest on the premise of ensuring safety and wait until your physical strength recovers. After all, there are thousands of roads, and safety comes first.
