Maslow, a famous American psychologist, has systematically and uniquely studied human needs and described them as "pyramids" with five levels.

From the bottom up, they are the physiological and safety needs in the stage of food and clothing, the social and respect needs in the stage of well-off, and the self-realization in the stage of affluence.

Physiological and security needs are fundamental and necessary, but sometimes they are like a pair of enemies stirring you up.

Have you ever been late? You're sleepy too. But you don't want to fall asleep, or you don't want to fall asleep. You may be a little resistant or unwilling to sleep at this time.

Physical needs tell you that you should fall asleep. Safety needs tell you not to sleep now, not to sleep. The two of them are fighting in your ear and tangling.

At this time, should sleep, but how to sleep?

First of all, we will analyze several common situations.

In the first case, you are afraid of falling asleep and resist falling asleep. Included in the next day's exam, weekly meeting, performance, going out for a series of reasons, you are afraid of oversleeping or the next day's poor performance, so you can't sleep all night. I will keep thinking about a lot of things, such as whether my pencil is ready, whether there are omissions in my documents, my clothes tomorrow, etc. I will think a lot, the more I think, the more I can not fall asleep.

Are you sure? So what's the reason? How to fall asleep in this mood?

Difficulty to fall asleep due to stress or excitement. It's nonsense to say that you shouldn't think too much about it and don't put pressure on yourself.

I know the truth, but my concubines can't do it.

The advice here is to empty your mind or read less boring books that you can easily accept.

Empty your mind, relax your whole body, and let your whole body lie in bed in the most comfortable state. Then imagine you're on a cloud, or on a beach vacation. You lie in your chair, the sun is so lazy. It's warm, comfortable and comfortable.

Friendship hints, don't imagine what you are eating, so you will get up again in the middle of the night and go into the kitchen to find food and can't sleep.

Or read a book, full of pictures and text, or pure text. Professional books or non-professional books.

There is such a way to judge whether you are asleep or not. Take a book to see if you can understand what he is talking about. If you are confused, it means you are beginning to fall asleep.

The second is that you can't control your brain and lie down and think fantastically.

No matter big or small, what happened in the past or what did not happen. Or say hello to someone today, feel that the play is out of order, re-edit the plot, etc. In short, he can't control it. There's no way to stop him.

At this time, I especially want to knock myself unconscious, or come to a person to knock myself unconscious, to alleviate their pain.

What about this situation? Develop a habit for yourself.

Choose a song or a commentary, cross talk, etc. Repeat listening every day before going to bed. At first, you will follow the melody and recite words. Over time, as soon as you hear those sounds, your brain will fall asleep inertialy. Sleeping time is also greatly shortened.

Third, you don't want to fall asleep. Attracted by something, included in TV dramas, variety shows, games, Taobao, etc. or you think about a problem and get yourself involved.

This is very understandable, driven by desire. Because desire makes you unwilling to fall asleep. You'll comfort your physical needs countless times and tell it that after you see this, you go to sleep.

The suggestion here is that you can maintain a good self-discipline, because these are not going to end. One will come after another.

It's hard to finish without having to advance at first. You can sleep half an hour, one hour before you go to bed.

Good self-discipline not only enables you to fall asleep on time, but also improves you in other areas.

We stay awake because the brain is always in an active state. Don't force yourself to sleep at this time. As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more you force yourself to fall asleep, the harder it will be to fall asleep.

At this time, divert attention and gradually develop good habits. That's the best solution.

Physiological and safety needs are irreplaceable. Safety needs are the development and continuation of physiological needs. Physiological needs are the necessary conditions for the existence of safety needs. When there is a conflict between the two, you must not let your mind act as a fool.

We should know that when physiological needs send out information, the body is already tired. At this time, we must relax the brain and obey the physiological needs.

Body is the cost of development, but also related to the spirit behind you.
