How difficult is it to wake up early?

Setting multiple alarm clocks before going to bed every day has become a familiar part for "workers".

Among them, many friends set their alarm clock very early and wake up before rushing back to sleep.

So, the next morning, there was a large scene of "repeated horizontal jumps between drowsiness and waking up". I can't get up anymore, my face is tired, and I reluctantly get up.

A friend has also discovered that waking up after the alarm clock has sounded a few times can make them even less alert.

What impact will repeated alarm clocks have on the body? How to set the alarm clock so that you can wake up refreshed?

Firstly, science popularization suggests that there is a "magical substance" in our body - adenosine. It is one of the important inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate sleep.

When our brain is awake, adenosine levels gradually increase, so the longer we stay awake, the more tired we feel; On the contrary, during sleep, adenosine levels in the brain gradually decrease. Beverages such as coffee and tea suppress our desire for sleep by blocking adenosine receptors.

When people repeatedly wake up, it can lead to an increase in adenosine content in the body, making them feel sleepy.

At the same time, research from Harvard Medical School has also shown that repeatedly waking up and falling asleep is more likely to fall into a sleep wake cycle, making it difficult to fully wake up, and can lead to chronic fatigue in the long run. Moreover, falling asleep again after hearing the alarm clock may lead to deep sleep, which can lead to oversleeping and affect the schedule of the day.

So, we do not recommend that you set more than two alarm clocks to force yourself to wake up.

Why don't you get up in the morning? Households with difficulty getting up may also suffer from 'syndrome'!

Most mornings can be attributed to three main reasons: not getting enough sleep, not sleeping well, and getting sick!

In recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of life, everyone's sleep time has become shorter and shorter. The average sleep standard is significantly lower than the recommended duration, and too little sleep is one of the main reasons for difficulty waking up in the morning.

Poor sleep quality is another major reason why we cannot wake up. Due to poor sleep quality, we need more sleep time to fully rest our body and mind.

Nowadays, more and more people have become "bedridden households", mainly manifested as being late for work on the morning when they can't get up, and sleeping until they get up for lunch on weekends.

When the sleep period is delayed by 3-6 hours compared to the traditional time, it is difficult to wake up in the morning, usually at 2-6 am without drowsiness and full of energy, and it is difficult to wake up before 10-13 am, which may have caused the "sleep phase delay syndrome".

The prevalence of this disease in young adults is as high as 7% to 16%, with staying up late and irregular sleep being one of the main causes.
