1. To the land of illusion, BTS Land - Hope Counseling Center

앵커

Hello everyone.

앵커

Let's start with today's hopeful news.

앵커

Here's the thing. I heard there's a reader whose day and night are reversed.

앵커

Let's interview that reader.

앵커

hello?

환장의나라방탄랜드로

Hi... how are you?

환장의나라방탄랜드로

I call it 'BTS Land, the land of illusion'...

환장의나라방탄랜드로

It's not that serious, but...

환장의나라방탄랜드로

These days, I'm living the life of a middle school student, preparing for exams and going to academies.

환장의나라방탄랜드로

Now it's time to get some rest, so I'm going to bed early.

환장의나라방탄랜드로

But I've been sleeping so late for the past three weeks that it's become a habit and I can't fall asleep before 2 a.m. and my sleep is getting shorter and shorter.

앵커

Oh, is that so?

환장의나라방탄랜드로

Yesㅠㅜ A solution is urgent...

환장의나라방탄랜드로

I'm so sleepy in the morning that my eyes hurtㅠㅜ

앵커

That's a really serious case.

앵커

Let's invite Mr. Espoir to take charge of this case.

에스뿌아

Yes, it's Espoir.

환장의나라방탄랜드로

hello?

에스뿌아

hello.

에스뿌아

I heard that it is very difficult because the day and night are reversed.

환장의나라방탄랜드로

Yes, that's right ㅠㅜ

에스뿌아

That's serious, actually I sleep after 2am too.

에스뿌아

I know because I've been through it myself, and I know that if you stay up that late, you'll end up dozing off at school.

환장의나라방탄랜드로

Yes...what should I do?

에스뿌아

There are many ways. Read books.

에스뿌아

I can't sleep like that.

에스뿌아

Second, put your phone away, go to bed early, and turn off the lights.

에스뿌아

If you have nothing to do, you will get sleepy.

에스뿌아

Third, exercise.

에스뿌아

When you exercise, you will exhaust yourself and you will feel sleepy as you try to recover.

에스뿌아

Fourth, eat something warm.

에스뿌아

Drinking warm water, honey water, milk, etc. will warm your body, make you feel drowsy, and help you sleep early.

에스뿌아

There are many other methods as well.

앵커

I see, thank you, Professor Espoir, for the valuable information.

에스뿌아

No, if you can sleep comfortably, that's enough.

에스뿌아

Well then, have a sweet night everyone.

앵커

Yes, thank you for your hard work.

How to sleep well

1. Keep your cell phone away.

This is because the blue light emitted from electronic devices interferes with the production of melatonin, which helps us sleep well.

2. Do an eye massage.

It is said that if you massage the area from around the eyes to the temples, the tense muscles that have been unable to sleep will relax, allowing you to sleep well.

3. Change your surroundings.

Create the best sleeping environment by combining temperature, noise reduction, healing music, blackout curtains, ambient lighting, or by choosing a method that seems most likely to help you sleep.

4. Close your eyes and remain calm.

When you close your eyes naturally, fatigue disappears, and you become relaxed without realizing it, so you don't think about anything and your body and mind become stable.

5. Sufficient photosynthesis.

Going outside and getting some sunlight during your work hours plays an important role in synthesizing vitamin D, which is necessary for sleep.

6. Food control

Foods like caffeine are okay to consume in small amounts, but consuming large amounts can be harmful to your health as they act as stimulants and cause side effects.
