Sleep less than six hours. The brain works like a "drunk."

1 week agoEdited to

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่าการนอนน้อยกว่า 6 ชั่วโมงต่อคืนส่งผลกระทบต่อประสิทธิภาพการทำงานได้ชัดเจนมาก สมองจะรู้สึกมึนๆ เหมือนอยู่ในอาการเมา ทำให้การตัดสินใจและความสนใจลดลงอย่างเห็นได้ชัด แม้ตัวผมเองจะรู้สึกว่ายังไหว แต่ผลการทำงานกลับแย่ลงและมีข้อผิดพลาดมากขึ้นโดยที่ไม่ได้ตั้งใจ งานวิจัยที่อ้างอิงจาก Van Dongen et al., และข้อมูลจาก CDC National Sleep Foundation ยังยืนยันว่าการอดนอนต่อเนื่องในระดับต่ำกว่าที่แนะนำ (6 ชั่วโมงหรือน้อยกว่านั้น) ส่งผลให้ประสิทธิภาพสมองลดลงจนเทียบได้กับการอดนอน 24 ชั่วโมงเต็ม นั่นหมายความว่าสภาพสมองของผู้ที่นอนน้อยอยู่ในภาวะเหมือนคนเมาอยู่ตลอดเวลา สิ่งที่น่ากลัวคือผู้ที่นอนน้อยมักไม่รู้ตัวว่าสมองทำงานผิดปกติ จึงทำให้ยังทำงานหรือขับขี่ยานพาหนะด้วยความเสี่ยงสูงโดยไม่รู้ตัว สำหรับผู้ใหญ่ควรนอน 7-9 ชั่วโมงเพื่อฟื้นฟูกลไกทางสมองและระบบร่างกายอื่นๆ วันนี้ผมจึงพยายามให้ความสำคัญกับการนอนมากขึ้น ทั้งการกำหนดเวลานอนอย่างสม่ำเสมอ และปรับสภาพแวดล้อมให้เหมาะกับการพักผ่อน เช่น ลดแสง เสียงรบกวน เพื่อให้ได้คุณภาพการนอนที่ดีที่สุดครับ ผลลัพธ์ที่ดีขึ้นจากการนอนเพียงพอช่วยให้ระบบสมองฟื้นตัว ทำงานได้ดีขึ้น มีสมาธิและตื่นตัวมากขึ้น ช่วยลดความเสี่ยงจากความผิดพลาดที่อาจเกิดขึ้นในชีวิตประจำวันอย่างมาก
