Annie: 我想知道居住空间的整洁程度如何影响我的幸福感,因为我住在纽约,房间很小。 Sanjay Gupta: 我的女儿们年轻时不擅长保持房间整洁,但随着年龄增长有所改变。研究表明,杂乱的环境会引发焦虑、压力和认知负担,影响情绪和整体幸福感。整理的起始阶段是最大的挑战,杂乱会让简单的日常任务变得更难。不要自责,开始整理和清理,即使是完美主义者也不例外,目标不是完美,而是创造一个适合自己的空间。打扫和整理并非对每个人都容易,压力过大时,即使简单的任务也会感觉难以完成。压力、分心、ADHD、焦虑、睡眠不足和倦怠都会影响专注力和完成任务的能力。Casey Davis 的“五件事”方法:垃圾、碗碟、衣物、错位物品和无处安放的物品,逐一处理。“五件事”方法通过重复简单的动作来减少执行功能的负担。“五件事”方法能带来成就感,保持动力。整理的关键是简化和分解任务,取得小的胜利来保持动力。根据习惯整理,简化流程,并根据自己的大脑工作方式建立习惯。居住空间会影响精神状态,创造平静的环境可以提升幸福感,减少焦虑。 Lainey: 我想知道蓝光眼镜是否值得购买,以及它是否真的有效,因为我经常使用电脑导致眼睛疲劳。 Sanjay Gupta: 蓝光是一种短波长的光,屏幕发出的蓝光远小于阳光。蓝光眼镜只能过滤屏幕蓝光的一小部分。目前证据表明蓝光眼镜对预防或缓解眼睛疲劳的效果有限。屏幕使用导致的眼睛疲劳主要是因为眨眼减少和长时间聚焦,而不是蓝光本身。缓解数字眼疲劳的方法包括:遵循20-20-20规则、多眨眼、使用润滑眼药水、调整屏幕设置和休息。蓝光会影响褪黑素分泌,从而影响睡眠,睡前减少屏幕时间是最好的解决方法。蓝光眼镜无害,如果能让你感觉更好,可以购买,但行为上的改变更有帮助。
