Every year before the entrance examination consultation, we always meet many candidates asking about insomnia. Some candidates have serious insomnia, such as difficulty in falling asleep, shallow sleep table, excessive dreaming, more sleep waking up, early waking up, etc., and it lasts longer; but most candidates are worried about insomnia, and currently there is no insomnia or only occasional insomnia. First of all, I would like to talk about why insomnia before the college entrance examination? The college entrance examination is the first turning point in the life of many people, especially in the eyes of parents is the wind vane of their children’s future, so the pressure before the college entrance examination can be imagined. When an ordinary person is faced with great pressure, there is usually emotional tension, and even accompanied by anxiety and depression, which leads to insomnia. So the insomnia or fear of insomnia that occurs is a stress reaction caused by excessive stress and is related to parents or social environment that is overly concerned about the candidate’s sleep problems. In addition, some candidates deliberately take strong tea, coffee and other excitatory drinks before going to bed to increase their study time, but this may precisely lead to insomnia, increase their anxiety and make insomnia worse. Once the above situation how to deal with it?1, correct the cognition. One is the perception of the exam itself. The exam is the element that determines the lifelong future, but not the only element, if the belief that “I can’t get into a book, I’m done for life” and so on as the only idea, anxiety and other bad emotions will certainly increase, insomnia is obvious. The second is the perception of the candidate himself. Some candidates, especially those with good grades, often show a lack of self-confidence before the college entrance exam. Such as always doubt “I have seen all the knowledge points”, “can I keep the level of the first model, the second model”, worry more, inevitably will lose sleep. Third, the perception of sleep problems before the college entrance examination. Generally the sleep time before the college entrance examination is slightly shorter than usual, occasionally insomnia, may sometimes feel poor sleep quality, which is normal, but many candidates will be anxious about the sleep problem itself, forming a vicious circle. So candidates should correct the above three aspects of poor perception. That is, objectively evaluate the impact of college entrance exams on life prospects; carefully sort out their review and maintain self-confidence; and never magnify the impact of sleep problems on exam preparation. The party can relieve the bad mood and improve sleep. 2. Develop good sleep habits. Maintain a regular bedtime; keep the bedroom light dark, temperature appropriate and quiet; to form a habit of half an hour before going to bed “to do preparatory activities”, do not look tired to fall asleep on the table or lying on the chair, wake up and then look, the cycle continues; morning to get up at a fixed time (this is very important); during the day Regular exercise also helps sleep, but do not exercise after lunch. Also, avoid strenuous emotional activities after evening; try to eat a little something (such as hot milk) before going to bed, and do not drink coffee after afternoon; if you still do not fall asleep after 30 minutes of going to bed, get up to read extracurricular books or watch TV for a while, and lie down again when you feel sleepy again, but still insist on getting up on time in the morning, even though there is a possibility that you may need additional sleep in a few days. 3. Psychotherapy. Such as trying the training of relaxation techniques. This is a very effective psychotherapy. The specific steps are to first sleep or sit in a comfortable position, keeping the balance of both sides of the body; then inhale deeply and slowly through the nose, and exhale slowly with the mouth; then contract and relax the back of the shoulders, both upper limbs, hands, abdomen, legs and feet in turn. If you have mastered this method, you can imagine anxiety in a relaxed state (such as in the examination room), if the tension immediately relaxation training, so alternating tension and relaxation, can also gradually remove anxiety and relieve insomnia. If the effect of this training is not obvious, you can turn to a psychologist to give systematic supportive psychotherapy or behavioral therapy, etc. 4, drug treatment. If the insomnia is severe, you need to go to a specialist to relieve the tension and prolong the physiological sleep time through medication. At present, there are many kinds of drugs that can relieve the symptoms without affecting the study, so don’t worry if you really need to use drugs. However, do not abuse Valium drugs, and use them carefully before the college entrance exams, and always under the guidance of a doctor. After talking about so many methods, in a word: insomnia before the college entrance examination can be solved. So students, do not worry about preparing for the exam, do not let insomnia become your extra stress!
