Why does the rain make us sleepy?

When it starts to rain, many phenomena will appear in a chain reaction and affect the human body.

The rainy season has arrived. The days of late May and early June are gloomy and boring because of the rain. When the rainy season comes, there is a rather strange phenomenon that people do not notice, it is rain that makes you feel sleepy all the time, even if you have enough sleep during the night.

Although there has not been any formal study to prove that rain and fatigue are connected, some other evidence suggests that gray weather will make all of the senses We give a false signal. Since then, people have short and deep sleeps. This will make us feel tired, loose and very difficult to wake up.

Gray weather will cause all of our senses to generate a false signal.

Sunlight will cause the body to stop producing hormone melatonin. This hormone is the sleep sensing stimulus that comes to us every night. When it rains and the sky is overcast, the natural alarm clock running on this sunlight will be inhibited. Melatonin will continue to be secreted, causing persistent sleepiness.

Another element that is quite mystical contributes to making people sleepy when it rains, which is the smell of rainwater . We cannot deny that the smell of rain is soothing and soothing that you gradually fall asleep.

Plants produce essential oils during drought periods to limit the growth of seeds in harsh environmental conditions. When it rains, water will wash this accumulated oil to the ground and mix it with a chemical called geosemin - the chemical created by the bacteria in the soil. This mixture will have a distinct and soothing characteristic scent similar to the musk.

In addition, after a storm passes, you will also have the opportunity to smell ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms. It is created when lightning interacts with air, breaking down and recombining oxygen molecules from the second combination into a three-atom combination. Some argue that the smell of ozone is similar to the pungent smell of chlorine, reminiscent of the clean bed's clean feeling.

The sound of rain also makes listeners extremely comfortable and sleepy. The sound of rain falling on the roof, canopy or ground is called "quiet noise". The quiet noise gathers all kinds of sounds at the frequency that people can hear, ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz but most focus on low frequencies. According to doctors, the quiet noise can be used to calm nerves, cure insomnia and make listeners sleep deeper.

Modern medicine has shown that, when our cortex receives monotonous stimulation, has a rhythm for a long time, it will cause a deep inhibition, reducing the excitement of the sets. On the body, causing inhibition from the cortex diffuses to the subcutaneous sites, causing drowsiness. Since then, people fall into sleep.
