Scientists at Tsukuba University (Japan) have discovered that the nucleus accumbens area located in the forehead has a dense density of a type of receptor can react with a neurotransmitter called adenosine, which helps regulate sleep and wake cycles, making us sleepy. So even if you get enough rest at night, you will still feel sleepy if you have a cold feel bored.
The nucleus accumbens plays an important role in the brain’s “reward” system. This is where dopamine is released and makes us feel happy when we do things Things like eating, drinking, sex or socializing… But without these motivational stimuli, this part of the brain makes us very tired.
According to research on sleep due to sadness Boredom is no different from normal sleep, and both can be “extinguished” by caffeine.
Leader of the research team Yo Oishi, University of Tsukuba, said: “A cup of tea or coffee will help the drowsiness caused by boredom pass quickly.”
This opens up a new, safer method of treating insomnia when we clearly know the receptors that cause drowsiness.
