Are you thinking 24 hours a day? - Between consciousness and unconsciousness -

This might be sudden, but have you ever pulled an all-nighter?
A long time ago, a TV commercial that asked, "Can you fight for 24 hours?" became a hot topic.

From a neuroscience perspective, your performance drops if you don't sleep, so it's better to sleep even for a short time.
I sleep too, but I believe that how you use your 24 hours is very important.

It's a waste to just sleep! This is a story about
ways to effectively use and think during your 24 hours.

The brain doesn't sleep, it just changes modes

Even while humans are sleeping, the brain does not stop.
If the brain stopped its activity, that would be a "brain-dead state."
It's basically dead, lol.

Even while you sleep, your brain is working hard in a different mode.
If that's the case, couldn't you use that time to think effectively as well?

I am not the only one who has thought this.
For a very long time, people have been researching how to use the mind while sleeping.

The 5-minute before-bed, 5-minute after-waking memo learning method

As you age, your memory declines, yet you have to memorize a massive amount of information. What do you do in such a situation?

Five minutes before bed, write down what you want to memorize in a memo.
I actually tried this while studying for the Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant exam. With limited time, there was so much I had to memorize. I would write down notes while reflecting on what I had studied that day.

Five minutes after waking up, look at the memo you wrote before bed and try to recall it. Reflect on it while muttering to yourself, "Oh, that's right," or "Wait, what was this again?"

This method was inspired by a book on memorization techniques I read a long time ago, and I felt it was effective when I actually tried it. Even while you are sleeping, your brain continues to work on the memo learning process on its own.

Have a theme, pose a question, and set up an antenna

Things you are constantly concerned about continue to be thought about even while you sleep.
I believe this is the principle.

Generally, people say things like having a theme or setting up an antenna.

Have you ever had the experience of waking up while being tormented by something you were worried about?
The principle is the same.

If that's the case, it's more beneficial to decide and control what you think about while you sleep.

Between consciousness and unconsciousness

While you are sleeping, it is unconscious
, and while you are awake, it is made up of consciousness and unconsciousness
.

Even while you are awake, a significant portion of your actions is actually governed by your unconscious.
Some say that over 90% of brain activity is unconscious. While this is an area that even brain science does not fully understand, it is almost certain that the majority of it is unconscious.

Be conscious and have a theme. Have questions (pose inquiries).
This is also called setting up an antenna.
When you do this, you will continue to think about it unconsciously.
Having a theme or a question means you are issuing a command to your own brain (the unconscious).

The words you use dailyact upon your unconscious.
Therefore, it is the same principle as saying,use positive words.

It is a hassle to think about things when instructed by others, but
it is fun to keep thinking about things you have decided on yourself!

What will you think about for 24 hours?
