Science Proves 12 Habits That Are Bad for the Brain

2025/6/26 Edited to

... Read more「脳に悪い習慣」って、結局は“毎日の小さな選択”の積み重ねだと実感しました。私が特に効いたのは、寝不足とスマホ、水分不足の3つを同時に整えたとき。頭が回らない日が続くと「頭が悪くなるのでは…」と不安になりますが、生活習慣を変えるだけで体感はかなり変わります。 ■寝不足で頭が回らない→まず“睡眠の借金”を返す 睡眠時間が連続で6時間未満だと、翌日の集中力が落ちやすいです。徹夜明けに「12時間睡眠」で帳尻合わせしたくなりますが、私はやりすぎると夜に眠れずリズムが崩れました。おすすめは、まず1週間だけ起床時間を固定して、就寝を30分ずつ早める方法。昼寝するなら15〜20分だけにして、夕方以降は避けると戻しやすいです。 ■二度寝は脳にダメージ?→“二度寝する条件”を決める 二度寝自体が絶対悪というより、だらだら寝続けて起床がズレるのがつらいタイプでした。私の対策は「二度寝OKは15分まで」「アラームは1回だけ」「カーテンを少し開けて光を入れる」。暗い部屋で1日過ごすと余計にぼーっとしやすいので、朝に光を浴びるのは本当に大事だと感じます。 ■水分不足で脳がしんどい→まず1L未満を卒業 水を1日1リットル未満しか飲まない日が続くと、午後に集中が切れやすかったです。私は“コップ1杯を4回”に分けました(起床後/午前/昼/夕方)。一気飲みより、こまめに飲む方が続きます。 ■スマホを1日5時間以上触る→「置き場所」を変える 意志より環境が効きました。寝室にスマホを持ち込まない、充電は玄関やリビング、SNSはホーム画面から外す。ネガティブニュースを1日2時間以上見る癖があると、脳疲労っぽい重さが出たので、ニュースは“朝と夕方に各10分”に制限しました。 ■運動・自然・手書き・人との関わりを足す 週に1度も運動しないと気分が沈みやすかったので、私は散歩15分から開始。自然に触れる時間が週0にならないよう、公園をルートに入れました。1ヶ月以上手書きをしない状態も続きがちなので、ToDoだけは手書きに。あと「1週間に1度も人を褒めない」も意外に効いて、意識して言葉にするとメンタルが上向きました。 最後に、全部を完璧にやろうとすると挫折するので、「寝る・飲む・触りすぎない(スマホ)」の3点だけ先に改善するのが現実的でした。小さく変えるほど、脳の調子は戻りやすいと思います。
