Why do I feel more tired every night when I sleep? I cried when I found out the truth

Sleeping is the best way for the body to relax and recuperate. However, even though they have gotten enough sleep, many people still feel tired and lack energy the next day. What exactly is the problem?

I slept through the spring, but I just couldn’t get enough sleep... I went to bed at 9 o'clock last night. When I woke up this morning, my mind couldn’t be clear. I had a headache for the whole morning. Oh... I feel so tired!

The editor calls this way of sleeping "sleeping drunkenly". In fact, this is why many white-collar workers like to sleep until noon on weekends. However, many people don’t know that this method is also harmful to the body. Sleeping drunkenness disrupts the biological clock in the brain that controls the body's daily cycles. Simply put, you sleep until 11 o'clock in the morning, but in fact your cells start working at 7 o'clock in the morning.

So, not only does oversleeping make you miss breakfast on the weekends, but if you do this often, it can also increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.

In addition to this, what other bad habits will make you more tired the more you sleep?

1. Eat a full meal before going to bed

If you eat too much before going to bed, your stomach and intestines will speed up digestion. A stomach full of food will constantly stimulate the brain, and the brain will be excited, so you won't be able to sleep peacefully. As Chinese medicine says: If the stomach is not in harmony, you will not sleep well.

2. The pillow is too low or too high

From a physiological point of view, the appropriate pillow height is 8-12 cm. If the pillow is too low, it may cause a stiff neck, or too much blood flowing into the brain, causing dizziness and swollen eyelids the next day. If the pillow is too high, it may affect the respiratory tract and cause snoring. In the long run, it may cause neck discomfort and affect sleep quality.

3. Sleep with your hands as pillow

Putting your hands under your head when sleeping will not only affect blood circulation and cause numbness and soreness in the upper limbs, but it will also easily increase the intra-abdominal pressure, and over time it will cause reflux esophagitis.

4. Sleeping with your head covered

When the weather is cold, many people like to sleep with their heads covered with quilts. Little do people know that covering the face with a quilt can easily cause breathing difficulties. As the carbon dioxide concentration in the quilt increases, the oxygen concentration continues to decrease. Breathing in humid air for a long time is extremely harmful to the brain. Over time, it will lead to hypoxia, causing poor sleep and nightmares. After waking up, you will feel dizzy, weak, and listless.

5. Oversleep

Some people like to make up for sleep after staying up late, but the adverse consequences caused by the disruption of the biological clock are inevitable. So, even if you sleep for 10 hours after staying up late, you will still feel sleepy and unfocused when you wake up.

About one-third of a person's life is spent sleeping, which shows how important sleep is to everyone. In a sense, the quality of sleep determines the quality of life. If you have the above habits, please correct them in time.

So, how can we have a good sleep?

1. Avoid quarreling before going to bed

Many couples like to discuss things before going to bed, from big things like buying a house or a car to small things like buying bags or clothes. However, the two sides often quarrel because of different opinions. Quarrels can make the brain excited, the thinking more and more active, causing excitement or disorder of the nerve center, which will eventually make it difficult to fall asleep.

2. Avoid overusing your brain before going to bed

If you have the habit of working or studying at night, you should finish the more troublesome tasks in advance, and do something easier before going to bed to relax your brain, so that it will be easier to fall asleep. Otherwise, the brain will be in an excited state, and it will be difficult to fall asleep even if you lie in bed. Over time, you will easily suffer from insomnia.

3. Avoid drinking strong tea or coffee before going to bed

Strong tea and coffee are stimulating drinks that contain substances such as caffeine that can make people excited. Drinking them before bedtime can easily make it difficult to fall asleep.
