The answer is that you won’t rest at all! Why do you still feel tired after 11 hours of sleep? Why is it that spending tens of thousands on a vacation to an island country does not increase your enthusiasm for life? First, let’s take a look at what misunderstandings we have about rest: ■ Intellectual workers, taking naps is of no use to you. You have written copy for a day and chaired a meeting for a day. When everything is over, you sigh: you are too tired. I'm going to have a good sleep this day. Our common sense dictates that our first response to fatigue is to “go lie down.” But this is a trap. Sleep is indeed an effective way to rest, but it is mainly suitable for sleep-deprived people or manual workers. For manual workers, "fatigue" is mainly caused by the production of a large amount of acidic substances in the body. If you are very tired, you should take a quiet rest. By sleeping, you can replenish lost energy and eliminate accumulated waste. If you are not very tired, you can also lie down on the bed for a while, close your eyes and rest, allowing the muscles and nerves in your body to completely relax, and then get up and move around. But if you are sitting in an office, your cerebral cortex is extremely excited, but your body is in a low-excited state. Sleep will not play a big role in dealing with this kind of fatigue (unless you stay up late and work overtime, and you cannot even reach the normal sleep time. ) Because what you need is not to restore physical energy through "stillness", but to find something to relax your nerves. In this way, you can understand why you are still listless after not going out for two days on the weekend, but you only need to swim for half an hour after get off work to feel energetic. ■You don’t have to stop, just change. Since sleeping can’t help us rest our brains, what can we do? The answer is not to stop the activity, but simply to change the content of the activity. The more than 10 billion nerve cells in the cerebral cortex have different functions. They are arranged in different ways to form different joint functional areas. This area is active while the other area is resting. Therefore, by changing the activity content, different areas of the brain can be rested. Psychophysiologist Sechenov conducted an experiment. In order to eliminate the fatigue of his right hand, he adopted two methods - one is to rest both hands still, and the other is to keep the right hand still while allowing the left hand to move appropriately, and then test the grip strength of the right hand on a fatigue measuring machine. . The results showed that fatigue in the right hand was eliminated faster when the left hand was active. This proves that changing one's activity content is indeed a positive way to rest. For example, if you wrote a project for five hours on Friday, it would be better to prune your potted plants the next day instead of sleeping in the sun. Another point is that when you cannot choose to switch from mental work to physical work, you might as well switch within mental work. Rousseau, the outstanding French Enlightenment thinker, once said: "I am not a person born to study knowledge, because I feel tired after studying for a little longer, and I can't even concentrate on a problem for half an hour. . However, I can study several different problems continuously, even without interruption, and I can think about them one by one easily and happily. This problem can eliminate the fatigue caused by another problem, so I don't need to take a break. , I make full use of this characteristic I discovered in my study, and study some problems alternately. In this way, I don’t feel tired even if I study all day long. "So, if you have several questions to ask this day. It is best to process them alternately rather than start two after finishing one, as this will be exhausted quickly. ■The best rest is to rekindle your passion for life. Our fatigue mainly comes from being tired of the existing unchanging life. So the best rest programs are those that allow us to rediscover our passion for life and work. If you finish something and can happily sigh, "Tomorrow is a new day." Then this thing is the best way for you to restore your enthusiasm and regulate your emotions. But unfortunately, we lack the imagination for "rest". The rest methods we can think of are either falling asleep or playing silly games. We have given you the following list of activities. The basic idea is to use "doing" to solve "tiredness" and replace passive indulgence with active rest. Of course, you still have to explore the method that suits you best. In fact if you find cleaning to be more relaxing than riding a roller coaster, then go for it and never mind what the rest of the world is doing.

Maybe you can: ●Use two hours of reading comics or novels that make you happy instead of going to KTV to sing the same saliva songs ●Try to give up going to the bar on Saturday night, fall asleep at 10 o'clock, and then get up at 7 o'clock and go to a place where no one is around Take a walk down the street, or watch a morning theater show you've never had the chance to see, and you'll find that this day can be different from the millions of weekends in the past. ●Stop having fun at a resort you've been to countless times. Find a street you have never been to and walk it all. You will find that this city you feel bored turns out to be that you do not fully appreciate its beauty. ●Travel instead of changing places for recreation. Go to a place and be curious about the place itself, be kind to your trip, and feel what life looks like outside the scope of your own experience. Instead of taking a 5-hour flight, just play mahjong in a different place, swim in a different place, play ball in a different place... ●Learn a new skill from this weekend, such as playing the electronic keyboard, drums... Practice for more than 1 hour every weekend. ●Go social. Don’t think it’s always going to be tiring. Although it is slightly more stressful than reading a book, it can also make you more excited and have a greater sense of identity. You must spend two or three days a week interacting with people outside your work circle and relatives. It prevents you from losing your lively nature in the mechanical operation of nine to five. Female friends especially need to go out and party with friends. At these moments, you are no longer a neutral person with "efficiency" written all over your face, but a charming centerpiece with a flying skirt. ●Do something difficult if you are a super nervous person. Psychologists have found that the way to relieve nervous tension is to deal with problems that require nervousness to solve. A general manager who was about to have a mental breakdown once went to a doctor for treatment advice. As a result, he was prescribed to work as a lion tamer in the zoo. Fully recovered after a month. So when you are particularly stressed, you can find another job for yourself, but it should not be similar to your occupation. For example, go to an orphanage to volunteer, or go to a complex machinery factory to start as an apprentice, or do a super complex math problem. Often people who cherish life will seek a rest at any cost. After ten days or half a month of rest, they come back. Look again, what a miraculous change it is! They are simply a new generation. Full of vitality and energy, with new hopes, new plans, and new visions of life. They have eliminated fatigue and gained the power to start anew - fuel. Taking some time to rest can give you a lot of energy and stamina, giving you the strength to engage in any work and deal with various problems, so that you can have a happy and correct understanding of life. There are other kinds of time in the world. Is investing more beneficial to you? When I hear someone say that he is too busy working and has no time to rest, I think there is something abnormal about this person. Either he is not capable enough to cope with his business, and his work lacks systematicity; or he is not good at managing his employees, so that the business cannot run when he leaves; or he is too stingy by nature and has no subordinates or team. Not even willing to sacrifice time to go to the toilet. Of course, if his work has no plan or system, and if he leaves his post, all affairs will be unable to run, and he will naturally not be able to rest. But if he is a person with organizational and coordination skills, if his work fraud is systematic and Having a plan and taking a moderate rest is a beneficial investment in business, because after resting, his energy will be more concentrated and his spirit will be fuller. As a result, his life will last longer. Only then can the value of life be more fully reflected and brought into play. Everyone should abandon the idea of ??only focusing on work and not taking rest. The concept of "life is endless and struggle is endless" is wrong and should be eliminated from your mind immediately. Otherwise, you will sleep underground before you have completed the journey of life that you should complete. By then, your Aren’t our ideals, futures, and careers all in vain? Therefore, a person who is reluctant to take time to rest is definitely not a smart person. From a humanistic point of view, the benefits of resting outweigh the losses. As the old saying goes: "When someone is sick, everyone is a bad person." Even the person with the deepest heart. Kind people can become unreasonable and have a bad temper when they are physically exhausted and mentally weak. Therefore, when you need to rest, you should rest. Otherwise, your behavior will be just as the revolutionary teacher Comrade Lenin said As pointed out: "If you don't take a break, you won't work."

"At present, whether you are a student or a man, woman, or child engaged in various professions, you cannot ignore nature's warning, ordering you to appropriately extend your rest time and temporarily stop your study or work, otherwise you will be severely punished by the laws of nature. No matter what No matter how high your status is, how much money you have, or whether you are an ordinary person, we are all equal in the face of life. This is the power given by God to the natural judge. It is a natural law that humans cannot change. There is a feeling that we call boring. This I experience boredom inadvertently in a few days. The busy rhythm for many years has created a stubborn and ridiculous biological rhythm, which always prevents me from enjoying some peace and quiet in my leisure time. Think you know what emptiness is? I read an article by chance a few days ago, and I learned for the first time that there is another saying called "enjoying boredom". Traditional education warns us that "boring" is a negative emotion, and a person who is striving for the best. We absolutely shouldn’t have this kind of emotion, and we shouldn’t even give ourselves the opportunity to have this kind of emotion. We have been burdened with too many responsibilities, so we live very tiredly. It’s fair to say that the pressure comes from the outside world, but I think the more pressure is from the outside world. We ask for it, because in this stressful society we have not learned to decompress ourselves. Looking at those people lying quietly on the beach for vacation, we should understand that boredom is a rare state, perhaps better than conscientiousness and diligence. Work is even more rare. Because it requires you to have a good attitude and a long-term perspective, you must first accept it and calm down before you can truly enjoy it. It is by no means a kind of decadence, it is a kind of rest and relaxation. A kind of savings that will help us get rid of the addiction of "only working". Someone told us a long time ago: People who can't rest can't work, but we have long forgotten this statement due to utilitarian reasons. . So we are busy and work hard, so we are afraid of being bored, afraid of having nothing to do, and even being anxious all day long because of leisure. Work should not be the whole life, work should be just for a better life. The master is never a slave to work. Don’t think that boredom is negative or unprofessional, so busy people should learn to enjoy life, get used to feeling bored, and get used to this novel and wonderful feeling! About the Seed Law (SEED) Remember: If you don’t rest, you won’t work. Hu Chunsong, Nanchang University School of Medicine, Hu Dayi, Peking University People’s Hospital. In recent years, “deaths of overwork” among intellectuals have frequently appeared in the news. For example, a 32-year-old Chinese social worker Xiao Liangzhong, a scholar at the Academy of Sciences; Jiao Lianwei, a 36-year-old lecturer at Tsinghua University; Gao Wenhuan, a 46-year-old professor at Tsinghua University; He Yong, a 36-year-old professor and doctoral supervisor at Zhejiang University, etc. Due to the frequent occurrence of serious "death from overwork" phenomena, the average number of intellectuals in our country has increased. The life expectancy is only 58 years old. The grim reality has sounded the alarm to many young and middle-aged intellectuals and managers. The untimely death of intellectuals is not only a loss to individuals and families, but also a major loss to the country's vigorous implementation of the talent security strategy. One of the important contents is to ensure the safety and health of talents. Due to the heavy burdens of career and family, young and middle-aged intellectuals pay little attention to their own health. Bad lifestyles such as staying up late for a long time, work overload, high psychological pressure, lack of exercise, unbalanced nutrition, smoking, alcoholism, etc., as well as sleep disorders, are quietly eroding their health. There are several main reasons for this: First, it should be said that these intellectuals do not pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and lack a dialectical understanding of the relationship between work and rest. They seem to have forgotten the wise sayings such as "If you don't rest, you won't work" and "The body is the capital of revolution." Secondly, regular inspections are not taken seriously. The main diseases that cause intellectuals to die young are lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc. These diseases not only have a high incidence rate, for example, the incidence rate of hypertension has reached 18.8%, and even as high as 25% in some areas; the age of onset of these diseases is also earlier, such as coronary heart disease, which has been advanced to 35-45 years old, at least about 10 years earlier than before. There may be no symptoms in the early stages of these diseases, so people call hypertension the "silent killer." Therefore, failure to perform regular check-ups can delay treatment until tragedy strikes. The third is the lack of relevant health care knowledge. Although my country's famous health education experts also give many lectures on health care knowledge, unfortunately most of the relevant lectures focus on the elderly group, and young and middle-aged intellectuals ignore them because of their busy work. To avoid "death from overwork", young and middle-aged intellectuals must truly understand: 1. Understand the dialectical relationship between work and rest. Remember the motto "No rest, no work." 2. Insist on regular inspections.

Research shows that regular examinations are an important measure to prevent and treat diseases, reflecting the prevention-oriented approach and the understanding that "prevention is the best treatment." Management should also pay attention and urge them to conduct regular inspections. 3. Learn relevant health knowledge. Health lectures should not only go into communities, schools, government agencies, enterprises and institutions, but also into university laboratories. It is necessary to enable young and middle-aged intellectuals to receive health education and realize the important role of health education. Through the efforts in the above three aspects, intellectuals can get rid of bad lifestyles and habits, thereby greatly reducing the death and disability rate of lifestyle-related diseases. Recently, we proposed the "seed" law of health, that is, the most basic health elements include sleep, emotion, exercise and diet. They form the "seed" law of health (the S-E-E-D law). Its contents include: (1) Sleep rules: sleep reasonably and take a nap at noon; (2) Emotion rules: stable emotions and a peaceful mind; (3) Exercise rules: aerobic exercise, combining movement and stillness; (4) Diet rules: scientific diet, Nutritionally balanced. It plays a very important role in people's daily health care and is the basic element and primary rule for maintaining health. If the majority of young and middle-aged intellectuals can abide by and practice the "seed" rules of health in their daily work and life, I believe that their chances of suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity will be greatly reduced, and talented young and middle-aged intellectuals will Can make more and greater contributions to the country and the people. Their average life expectancy will increase from 58 years to 85 years. Every day is a day of rest. M: I feel insecure if I haven’t done anything for too long (more than a period of time). Jie: I always have to take a rest. M: But if I rest for too long, I will feel guilty. Jie: Then I won’t rest every day. Yes (laughing?) M: Talking to myself - Do you think that if you are used to resting every day, you will become numb?) [Excerpted from today’s Starry Night Talk] Every day is a day of rest. Although this sentence is said by people who often rest. It’s not convincing at all (escape~), but it does make sense. Maintaining a kind of elasticity, a kind of elasticity of time, elasticity of emotion, elasticity of thinking, is a good reminder for an overly neurotic person like me when we go to the inevitable extreme direction. You need to have the ability and flexibility to return to a stable state. No wonder I have to take a break tonight to play with my children tomorrow, oh yeah! How to avoid "vacation syndrome"? The most important thing to avoid "vacation syndrome" is to maintain a normal mind. 1. You should pay attention to adjustments at the beginning of the long vacation. Make plans in advance. How to spend a long vacation varies from person to person, but the principle is that it should not disrupt the normal routine of life. Don't rest too much, and don't overwork yourself. 2. Focus on rest. If the long vacation can be mainly about rest, try to live it as relaxed and happy as possible, moderately participate in more entertainment than usual, visit each other with relatives and friends or reunite with family members. It is not advisable to sleep with your head covered every day, or surf the Internet all night long. 3. Enter the role in advance. Human nerves have the characteristic of "automatic adjustment", so you should consciously do some work-related things the day before going to work to help you get into work status as early as possible. Make sure you get enough sleep the day before going to work. 4. Think more about happy things. Most people suffering from "vacation syndrome" are young people, and there are many triggers, such as separation anxiety, difficulties in interpersonal communication, and experiences of grievance, frustration, humiliation and so on at work. You can also seek help from a psychological counselor. After all, only with a healthy mind can you achieve greater success in your career and experience more happiness in your life!
