This condition is typically caused by prolonged work-related stress and irregular daily routines. If early bedtime and early rising are unattainable due to work schedule constraints, it is still essential to ensure adequate sleep. Avoid intense physical exercise and heavy manual labor in daily life to prevent fatigue. Pay attention to emotional regulation—maintain a relaxed and cheerful mood, avoid anxiety and tension, and spend more time outdoors to breathe fresh air and relieve stress.
