Alarm, Cause of Chronic Fatigue?

Among the workers who have to go to work early in the morning, many alarms are set in several minutes to wake up at a fixed time. However, there is a study that sets several alarms like this can cause chronic fatigue.

According to a study by Professor of Sleep Medicine at Harvard University, Buxton, the human body releases awakening hormones when it wakes up after hearing an alarm. However, when you turn off the alarm and lie back down, the activity of the awakening hormone is delayed and the adenosine, a substance that causes fatigue, is secreted, making the human body asleep inertial state that is not fully awake from sleep. Sleep inertia usually lasts 30 minutes and 2 hours long. If you wake up in an alarm every few minutes and then fall asleep again, sleep inertia lasts longer. If these are repeated, they can accumulate fatigue and lead to chronic fatigue.

"Never press the snooze button." Professor Buxton asks. The snooze button is similar to setting the alarm at intervals of minutes with the 'postponing' function, which allows the alarm to pause for a while and then re-sound after a few minutes.

Dr. Buxton recommended that the alarm should be set only one time to wake up rather than several times. Also, if you put the alarm by your bedside, you should put off the alarm or turn it off and fall asleep again. "It is a natural phenomenon that the state of being half-asleep for 20 to 30 minutes immediately after waking up," he said. "It is important not to fall asleep again at this time."

If you are anxious to set only one alarm, it is important to set a wide interval between alarms and gradually reduce the number of alarms. Also, in the case of alarm sounds, experts say it is better to change the alarm sounds periodically. If the same music or sound is repeated every time, there may be a situation in which the familiarity may not recognize the alarm well.

Studies have shown that eating something within an hour of waking up can wake you up and help you improve your morning mood and cognitive function. However, it is better to eat whole grains or protein because eating carbohydrates or sugar can cause fatigue later on. Also, it is said that opening the curtains in the morning and getting some sunlight helps you wake up.
