Why do I fall asleep easily when I'm in a car? How did I get "hypnotized"?

In daily life

I believe many people

Have had this experience

Whether it is a short trip or a long journey

I was full of energy before getting on the bus.

But once you get on the bus

I yawned and dozed off

Too sleepy

So

Why does this happen?

What exactly is the cause?

today

Let me explain it to you in detail.

actually

doze off

In addition to the normal biological clock

Sleep pressure

The key to affecting sleep pressure is adenosine

When you are awake

To keep the body strong and work and live

The body needs to consume a lot of glycogen

at the same time

The brain also accumulates some adenosine

The more adenosine you have, the sleepier you feel.

As long as I fall asleep

Adenosine is cleared away

But most people

Won't sleep until you wake up naturally

So the adenosine that is not cleaned up

In my spare time at work

Hypnotize you again

Relax while riding in the car

In addition, the space in the car is confined and narrow.

Poor air circulation

In such an environment

I can't doze off.
