      Drowsiness is a common phenomenon in autumn. Whether it is students in the classroom or office workers in front of the computer, they are particularly prone to sleepiness in autumn. In our lives, being sleepy in situations that are not suitable for sleeping is a kind of disrespect for others, especially in the office and classroom. Your body will feel particularly uncomfortable if you are sleepy and don't sleep, but we don't let our body just fall asleep. We can make ourselves awake by stimulating acupuncture points.

      Massage Baihui Point

      Baihui point is located at the highest point in the middle of the head. It is where the Yang energy of the three yang meridians of the hands and feet and the Du meridian meet. The head is the yang of yang, and the yang energy meets here. Massaging this acupoint can refresh the mind and elevate the yang energy.

      Acupoint massage method: Use the thumbs or index fingers of both hands to overlap the acupoints, apply force slowly until there is a feeling of soreness and swelling, and last for 30 seconds; at the same time, you can do gentle and gentle circular massage, repeat 5 times.

      Massage Fengchi Point

      Fengchi point is located on the neck, below the occipital bone, and is level with Fengfu point (1 inch straight above the middle of the posterior hairline). This is an acupuncture point on the gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang. Massaging it can not only refresh the mind, but also relieve eye fatigue. It is especially effective for people who work in front of a computer or at a desk for a long time.

      Acupoint massage method: Keep the body upright, place the thumbs of both hands on Fengchi points on both sides, tilt the head back, rotate the thumbs in a circular motion and massage the acupoints for 1 minute. You can feel obvious soreness here, repeat 5 times.

      Massage temples

      The temple is located at the midpoint of the line between the eyebrow tip and the outer corner of the eye, about one horizontal finger back in the depression. Massaging this acupoint can not only refresh the mind but also relieve headaches. Massaging this acupoint is suitable for all kinds of people, but be careful not to use excessive force. Just feel sore and swollen.

      Acupoint massage method: Place the thumbs or index fingers of both hands on the temples on both sides, and rotate gently and gently in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Generally, the number of massages can be more or less, depending on the degree of brain fatigue.

      These three acupuncture points are all on the head. The head is the yang of yang. If the yang energy is insufficient, people will easily feel sleepy. Massaging these acupoints can stimulate the rise of yang energy and refresh the mind. The Fengchi point can also treat colds. After work and rest, pressing it for five minutes is also good for relieving visual fatigue.

      Especially in autumn, people are particularly prone to getting sleepy. When they are sleepy, whether they are working or doing other things, their efficiency will be low, which not only makes them unable to do things well, but is also not a good thing for their health. So you can try these methods to refresh yourself when you feel sleepy.
