After the New Year’s holiday, many people’s sleep and eating patterns are disrupted, making it difficult to return to work mode. Sergei Khomyakov, Chief Physician of Invitro-Moscow, Doctor of Medical Sciences, told socialbites.ca how to get back to work painlessly.
According to the expert, returning to the working regime requires a period of adjustment, especially if a person has a permanent residence and rest away from work.
“Everyone has a different period. In general, a healthy person can easily adapt to the changing rhythm of life in 1-3 days. Ideally, you should also prepare for going to work, for example, 3 days before work, after the end of the holiday, you should start living already on the same schedule where daily activities will take place,” he said.
In turn, the rejection of “light” carbohydrates will help restore the diet. In addition, physical education, winter sports, walking on the street will also contribute to the normalization of nutrition and weight.
“Children adapt more easily to changes in biorhythms. Much more important is the child’s motivation to return to learning after the holidays. Parents and teachers will play a big role in this, they should interest the child, take an interest in learning, socialize and shift his attention from games and entertainment to other intellectual loads, ”the doctor recalled.
Khomyakov, however, warned that long vacations often lead to sleep disturbances and that prolonged sleep deprivation is an extremely dangerous condition.
“Prolonged pathological disruption of biorhythms, or in this case, asynchrony caused by external causes can lead to diseases of the endocrine, nervous and reproductive systems, as well as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases. In healthy people who live in an unusual rhythm for 10 days, which we can celebrate on New Year’s holidays, and then return to the normal schedule, it does not cause painful conditions and the body recovers quickly enough. In other cases, a doctor’s visit is necessary, ”advised the specialist.
