"5 Things Your Brain Does When You're Dreaming"

💤 when you're dreaming.

The brain doesn't stop working.

During sleep.

The brain still does things like

• Organized memories

• Processing emotions

• Link new information

• Practice problem solving

Dreaming is therefore an important part.

Of brain activity.

You remember the last dream.

All right?

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวเมื่อได้เริ่มสนใจเรื่องการนอนและความฝัน ผมพบว่าการฝันไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องล่องลอยในจิตใจ แต่เป็นกระบวนการสำคัญที่สมองใช้จัดการกับข้อมูลต่างๆ ที่เราเจอในแต่ละวัน สมองจะจัดระเบียบความทรงจำที่เราได้รับมาในวันนั้น เพื่อเลือกเก็บข้อมูลที่สำคัญและทิ้งสิ่งที่ไม่จำเป็นออกไป ซึ่งช่วยให้เราจดจำสิ่งต่างๆ ได้ดีขึ้นในระยะยาว ในขณะเดียวกัน สมองยังประมวลผลอารมณ์ เช่น ความสุข ความเศร้า หรือความกังวล ที่เกิดขึ้นระหว่างวัน เพื่อปรับสมดุลทางจิตใจและเตรียมพร้อมรับมือกับอารมณ์ในวันถัดไป นอกจากนี้ การฝันยังช่วยกระตุ้นจินตนาการและการคิดสร้างสรรค์ โดยสมองจะเชื่อมโยงข้อมูลใหม่จากประสบการณ์ที่หลากหลาย เช่น วิทยาศาสตร์ ศิลปะ หรือประวัติศาสตร์ ซึ่งบางครั้งช่วยให้เราได้ไอเดียแปลกใหม่หรือวิธีแก้ปัญหาที่ไม่เคยคิดมาก่อน บางงานวิจัยยังพูดถึงเรื่องการล้างสารพิษในสมองระหว่างการนอน ซึ่งเป็นกระบวนการสำคัญที่ช่วยรักษาสุขภาพสมองให้ดี และควบคุมอารมณ์ให้สมดุลมากขึ้น ดังนั้น การนอนหลับและฝันจึงไม่ใช่เรื่องเสียเวลา แต่เป็นช่วงเวลาที่สมองได้ฟื้นฟูและเตรียมตัวสำหรับความท้าทายใหม่ๆ ที่เราจะพบเจอในวันต่อไป ผมแนะนำให้ลองจดความฝันเล็กๆ น้อยๆ ที่จำได้ในแต่ละครั้ง เพราะนอกจากจะช่วยเพิ่มความน่าสนใจและเข้าใจตัวเองมากขึ้นแล้ว ยังเปิดโอกาสให้เราสังเกตและฝึกฝนการแก้ปัญหาโดยใช้การเชื่อมโยงจินตนาการจากความฝันด้วยครับ

When someone says you’re managing “so well” but you feel that knot in your stomach… it’s usually not laziness. It’s pressure, hypervigilance, and a nervous system that never got the memo that you’re safe. Let me tell you why it feels like you’re not doing enough (and what finally helped me). #anxi

A person lies on a bed, writing in a pink notebook, with a bedside lamp and pink roses in the background. The text overlay reads 'THINGS I STOPPED DOING FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH'.
A person's face is shown with text overlay listing 'What I stopped:' including listening to sad music, negative self-talk, not prioritizing hobbies, SH behaviors, seeking validation, oversharing traumas, and negative weight talk.
A person with curly blonde hair has mascara applied, with an overlay of empowering affirmations: 'You are beautiful You are kind You are loved You are strong You are resilient'.
Things I STOPPED doing for my mental health!
Listening to sad music- I love sad music, I think it’s beautiful and relatable. But the reality is it does not help in any way shape or form. It puts you in a negative mindset and you end up in a never ending loop. You’re sad so you listen to sad music, which makes you more sad. And so it repeats.
