2024-02-23
The 8-day Spring Festival holiday is as fast as a tornado, welcoming the working day after the the Year of the Loong, but it is not energetic, inattentive, and inefficient... Hou Le, deputy chief physician of the Psychological Sleep Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that in the two or three days after the holiday, he felt tired, unable to lift his spirit, inattentive, inefficient, and even had nausea, anorexia, dizziness, anxiety, insomnia, etc. of unknown reasons. All kinds of physiological or psychological imbalances are actually manifestations of post holiday syndrome. This symptom often occurs after the "big holiday" - especially during the Spring Festival Golden Week and National Day Golden Week. Mainly due to the relaxation of constraints during the long holiday, excessive staying up late, overeating, etc., the sleep and dietary patterns are disrupted, and discomfort symptoms occur after restoring normal life and work rhythm. Hou Le introduced that individuals who work or study under high levels of stress, such as those who frequently work overtime and stay up late with written materials, grassroots police officers who rotate night shifts, office workers in companies, and high and middle school students, are more likely to develop post holiday syndrome. What to do with post holiday syndrome? Don't be afraid, Dr. Liu Min, Director of the Endocrinology Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, will teach you 5 ways to relieve symptoms! Firstly, try to ensure sufficient sleep time, go to bed and wake up early, and adjust your daily routine to a normal state. Secondly, the diet should be light and easy to digest. Add some vegetables and fruits appropriately, try to eat light meals, and let the stomach filled with fish rest. Take some stomach strengthening and digestive tablets or hawthorn slices appropriately. Thirdly, after the holiday, go to work and chat with colleagues to relieve work fatigue. Self relaxation methods such as closing your eyes, listening to soothing light music, and reading can be used to alleviate post holiday syndrome. After working for about half an hour, one should take a break and take deep breaths. According to research, human attention begins to weaken after about half an hour, and moderate rest can not only improve concentration, but more importantly, change the posture that has been held for a long time. At this point, the best exercise is stretching, from the shoulders and neck, waist and back to the limbs, allowing the tense muscles to stretch and elongate. Fourthly, after work, take a walk, do gymnastics, stretch, etc. with family and friends to promote digestion and alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms. Adjusting emotions, maintaining a comfortable mood, not being anxious or restless, can also slowly reduce internal heat. Fifthly, washing feet with hot water before bedtime, massaging the soles and toes of the feet, has important medical efficacy in unblocking meridians, adjusting organs, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing metabolism, especially in treating symptoms such as neurasthenia, insomnia, and headache. "Post holiday syndrome usually takes two to three days to pass, but not more than a week at most. If it still cannot recover after a week, then you need to see a doctor," Liu Min reminded.
