Balance lies within each person. There are jobs that require sacrifices, but there are sacrifices that bring joy and comfort. So finding balance within yourself is very important.

The topic "Comprehensive health and sleep hygiene" was shared by Master - Doctor Ha Thanh Dat (Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine). Doctor Dat said that sleep is affected by living environment, work pressure, noise or strange places. Light, sound and space all affect sleep quality, in which blue light is a factor that causes difficulty sleeping.

With four sleep cycles: light sleep, deep sleep, and dreaming sleep, deep sleep is the time when the body recovers the most, breathing slows, the brain and muscles regenerate energy. Each complete cycle takes about 90-120 minutes depending on the person.

Master - Doctor Huynh Doan Phuong Truc (Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine) said that at night the body secretes melatonin (a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle). When melatonin is disrupted, sleep is affected.

"Writing down your worries or plans for tomorrow in a diary and then folding it up helps to separate your thoughts from the present and reduce stress before going to bed. If you can't sleep after lying down for more than 30 minutes, the advice is to get out of bed, walk around gently, and then go back to bed," said Dr. Truc.

Meanwhile, Master Nguyen Hong An - professional consultant at Saigon Psychub - started with the phrase "change" at the exchange "Balance between life and work". He said there is no common standard for everyone on how to balance life. Mental health is like a tailored outfit, only suitable when we clearly understand what we need and how much we can endure.

Mr. An said that the priority of employees when choosing a working environment is the balance between work and life. They not only need good benefits but also want a job that allows them to maintain a healthy personal life, develop their career and nurture relationships.

"When under prolonged pressure, people often fall into a state of fatigue, withdraw from society, gradually lose connection, reduce productivity, avoid tasks, get angry easily, doubt themselves and even forget to take care of themselves," Mr. An analyzed.

To find balance, Mr. An believes that we need to observe our thoughts, look back at ourselves and determine what we can and cannot control. When we can distinguish, we will know how to respond to each situation. At the same time, we need to build social skills through talking to others, participating in activities and creating a friendly living environment.

Seek special support from family, friends or professionals when necessary. At the same time, maintain self-care habits such as getting enough sleep, exercising, talking, writing a diary...
