Traveling from one place to another or sleeping with a friend for the first time can be an ordeal for many of you. Experts call this the “first night effect”. In other words, the fact that you don’t inadvertently consider the environment you first enter safe is what causes this situation. So to protect yourself, your brain half asleep half awake It forces you to keep a vigil that night.

In addition to this problem, if you add the problem that you can’t go to the toilet despite pain in your stomach, your psyche can collapse. According to psychologist Nick Haslam, most people feel more comfortable going to the bathroom in their own home than using the sink elsewhere. safe feels. If you look at it, the whole problem seems to be that people can’t feel safe in places they don’t know and don’t know. So is it really so?

In fact, people tend to seek environments where they will always feel “more comfortable” to go to the toilet.

Jack Gilbert, a professor at the University of Chicago, says people want to feel this way because of a natural response to environmental conditions. So the desire to feel comfortable quite natural. As soon as most people enter the door of their house, their body activates the change in glucose (sugar) balance, respiration and hormone movements with the effect of becoming habituated to the home environment. That’s why you sometimes suddenly have a toilet when you enter the house. even you “Have I been holding my toilet for all those hours while I was gone?” You may be surprised to think.

Since a person is a potty being, he knows that when the need for a sink comes, he must perform it according to certain rules. According to psychologist Nick Haslam, the past is what holds you to this need in an unfamiliar environment. of potty training can come. If you are someone who holds your large toilet for a long time, it can cause you to experience intestinal and stomach pain. If you convince yourself that everyone has such a need and that it is natural, you can be more flexible about that.

Another problem is having a shy bowel (parcopresis) and a bladder (paruresis).

According to studies, approximately 2.8-16.4% of the world’s population has a shy bladder problem. This is especially common in men. People with these problems have a high dose of fear about using public toilets. Those who suffer from this cannot even use the toilets of restaurants, shopping malls, schools or just friends’ houses. Individuals who sometimes experience severe symptoms, even in their own home can’t go to the toilet is becoming.

For example, those who experience these symptoms more mildly may go to the toilet when no one is home, but those who live more intensively may find it difficult to meet their needs even if they struggle for hours.

This situation significantly limits a person’s social life because the person does neither to meet friends, neither to the cinema, nor to a public place can go. In one study, 316 people were interviewed on this topic and 72 participants stated that they had experienced at least one of these conditions.

The participants indicated that they take it personally and think they laugh at themselves when people laugh at each other in public toilets. So, as a result of the research, individuals experiencing this situation fear of being negatively criticized lives are detected.

Now let’s look at the problem of not being able to sleep elsewhere…

In one study, researchers performed three different brain scans, including MRI, to see people sleeping during their first stay. As a result, when people experience such situations, the tendency to go to sleep deep in the left hemisphere decreases. In addition, experts found that these people listen to any outside noise because their brains are overstimulated. Basically, people don’t feel comfortable in a place where they stay for the first time, as we said at the beginning, he was in danger can’t sleep because they feel like

Researchers recommend that people who have a problem with this problem spend time in that place a few times beforehand and try to adjust, rather than worrying about going to a place for the first time. Individuals can take an item from their own home to the other home where they will be staying, for example this is a To kiss it could be. Maybe they can get around this problem a bit.
