We live in a digital world where information is gained independent status and can be viewed as something tangible. Increased flow of information - speed and volume data. If before reading only one newspaper, it was possible to keep abreast of developments, now and TV and the Internet, and all media taken together is not enough for a full review of the available events.
How in such circumstances feel man? More precisely, how it feels to the human brain - the main processor of data coming from the outside world? I must say that in very different ways, he feels.
It is known that the brain itself is not working at full capacity - namely, involves about 5%. And yet, while it can handle an enormous amount of information. The problem is that our animal nervous systems are simply unable to cope with this load, which is why the remaining 95% of gray matter are blocked for the time being.
The progress of civilization is now developing rapidly and of course, pays no attention to the physical characteristics of a person's ability to develop their brain with the correct speed. Therefore became relevant such a thing as information overload or burnout.
Such frustration arises from the constant voltage, when a person is a long time thinking hard about several problems, keep in mind a large number of unit information (for example, the set of unrelated digits), tracks a lot of visual information, is forced to rapidly process the incoming data (eg , got a question, respond quickly). If such a state of continuous, short-term, it is very useful and develops, but if it ever can be at one point, expect failure.
The first sign of burnout is loss of sleep. It seems to be okay when you lay in bed, turns and all the thought. It seems that the body simply does not want to rest, but it is not. Nervous activity in the brain is too big to go to sleep. With such a lack of sleep certainly experienced each of us from work, who love to experience, some from more then. Someone may say that to work hard - then sleep better. No way! Work hard, too, must be wisely!
The second sign is loss of appetite. Or, for example, when you forget that it was eaten, was it delicious, and other details associated with the consumption of food.
A lot of burnout manifested feeling "like a compressed spring, when there is nervousness, short temper.
Virtually all overload start "rebate", that is easy to process information slowly.
All these are signs of incipient nervous overload.
Prolonged overloading appears shaky for no reason at all hands, twitching of skin (eg face), heart palpitations, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach upset, etc. This is the physical reaction of the body - so runs the nervous system to protect itself from destruction.
Naturally, knowing that there is a danger of such a psychological disorder, those engaged in too nervous or information work, should be attentive to the behavior of their nerves. Knowingly biological fact has become a proverb: Nerve cells can not be restored! Therefore, you should take care of yourself and be able to at some point to tell the computer "no" and go for a walk in the park.
