Microsuenos: Have you ever had them?

Microsuenos... We are sure that you have had them not once, but several times .From the medical field and road safety institutions they see the issue of microsuenes as a potential risk that every year , it takes thousands of lives.

It is one of the main causes of traffic accidents because there are many people who, due to fatigue, give on the wheel that tiny head that takes us directly from a fleeting and sudden dream, to a terrible maneuver on the road with dangerous outcome.

However, and leaving aside that negative and dangerous area, the topic of microsuenos is always fascinating because they are, after all, dreams of no more than 30 seconds in which we sometimes have visions loaded with alarm.They are the typical scenes in which we walk and fall into the void, in that we cross a street and it sinks in the void.We wake up alarmed and full of panic.

Has it ever happened to you? We explain it to you.

Microsuenos, when our mind asks us to "disconnect"

It's an abrupt change. We go from sleep to sleep in a small fraction of time almost amazing, it's like a total loss of consciousness where we fall and instantly, we almost always wake up feeling anxious and startled.

Now, but...Why does it happen? Because you need rest, as simple as that.Your brain is overloaded , they are moments when stress and a long period of attention and overexertion sometimes leads us to the limit, and the brain, you need to put the «off» even for a moment.

Microsuenos: Have you ever had them?

  • A microsueno causes a change in the very characteristic waves of our brain.So much so that in an electroencephalography we would see the alpha and theta waves at an altered and different rhythm than we have when, for example, we sleep at night.
  • Something to keep in mind is that microsuenos do not appear only "for lack of sleep". It also usually occurs when we carry out very monotonous tasks , such as driving at night and on a road without much activity, when studying, reading...
  • These monotonous tasks that They generate microsuenes should always be related to continuous visomotor activities .That is to say: follow some stimulation with their eyes.They are situations in which different brain regions are overstimulated, such as thalamus, mesencephalous, and posterior cingulate cortex.
  • Something curious that causes a microsuene of just over 30 seconds is that when we wake up, we often re-activate , that is to say, the senses become clear and we return to "take control", and also, with much more motivation because areas such as the primary motor cortex and the island are stimulated.

Now, something we should keep in mind is that if you experience a lot of microsuens throughout the day, maybe they may be due to diseases such as sleep apnea , a condition that characterizes millions of people and which is characterized by a shallow rest at night where we experience small s breathing pauses.Our brain stops receiving oxygen for a very short time and this, little by little, is causing serious consequences.

Microsuenos: Have you ever had them?

Do not overlook it.And, first of all, remember to take adequate breaks every short time if you have to drive for many hours.So now tell us... Have you experienced any microsueno lately?
