How to relieve insomnia before the college entrance examination

Be prepared for the exam

Prepare stationery and other things and put them in your school bag, so that you subconsciously feel that you can just grab the bag and go even if you get up late. Adequate preparation will reduce your anxiety about the exam.

Distracting attention

The more you think about falling asleep, the harder it is to fall asleep. When you think about other things, you fall asleep more easily. When you are worried and can't sleep, you might as well read a book, play some music, or read some jokes or listen to some music. When you focus on other things, you will find that you fall asleep quickly.

Keep a normal attitude

Every candidate should not pay special attention to whether he or she sleeps well or not. Before facing a big test, sleep if you are sleepy and study if you are not sleepy. You should think in your mind that it doesn't matter whether you sleep well or not. Just lie in bed and sleep if you can. If you can't sleep, get up and read a book. But don't read novels or watch martial arts movies or other stimulating things. With this normal mentality, you can get rid of the idea of ​​paying too much attention to sleep. Your brain will become calm and peaceful, and you will fall asleep quickly.

Maintain a regular daily routine

Every candidate should develop good habits of having a regular schedule and combining work and rest. This will be beneficial to the regulation of excitement and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, making the biological clock function normally, so that sleepiness can come and you can fall asleep peacefully. Even if you really don't sleep well the night before the exam, when you get up in the morning, just wash your face, refresh yourself, move your body, eat a good breakfast, and walk into the exam room with a smile, you will still get good grades.

Don't worry about a bad night's sleep

Many candidates believe that poor sleep will make their brains dull, their memory decline, they will easily forget what they have learned, and they even believe that their bodies will collapse as a result. In fact, this is groundless worry. The so-called "really bad sleep" is mostly subjective fabrication by oneself, which is what psychology calls subjective insomnia. Psychologists once conducted a sleep deprivation experiment and found that even if one really does not sleep all night, it has basically no effect on a person’s physical and mental activities the next day. Therefore, do not exaggerate the harm of subjective insomnia and scare yourself.

Don't take dreaming as a bad thing

Some candidates think that dreaming while sleeping means they did not sleep well, and they become anxious about it. Little do people know that everyone dreams, and it is a normal psychological phenomenon. Studies have shown that dreams often occur during the deep sleep stage, which means that dreaming is when we sleep well. Dreaming helps clear out the clutter in your brain, is a beneficial adjustment for the brain, and can also eliminate fatigue. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about dreams.

Maintain moderate aerobic exercise

Candidates should not just bury their heads in study every day. They should choose their favorite activities according to their physical condition, such as brisk walking, jogging, playing ball, fitness dancing, swimming, mountain climbing, cycling, etc., and exercise persistently. Exercise can help regulate your mood, keep your mind clear while studying, and is very beneficial in preventing and treating insomnia.
