What is "quality" sleep?

Eight hours a day, can you sleep well?

At least you need to do:

This is a good sleep.

What about "quality"? In ancient China, the standard of "quality sleep" was much higher than that of modern people.

Good sleep at the same time, can also do these two points, in order to be considered high quality.

Sleep time

Some people mechanically enforce the standard of 8 hours' sleep every day. In fact, the length of sleep varies from person to person, from age to age, and from season to season.

The length of sleep is slightly different in different seasons. And the time to sleep and get up is different.

Huangdi Neijing has specific instructions-

Spring: Lie down at night and get up early.

In spring, the time of sunset gradually becomes late, so you can gradually postpone the time of going to bed at night according to this rhythm (later than winter, don't stay up late). Get up before sunrise in the morning.

Summer: Stay up late at night and get up early.

It's very hot during the day in summer, so we should spend some time relaxing in the evening, taking a walk to enjoy the cool, and then go to bed. You can get up before sunrise in the morning.

Sleep less at night in summer. So during the day, take a long nap to make up for it.

Autumn: Get up early and go to bed early, having fun with chickens.

In autumn, the setting sun is getting earlier and earlier, so we should follow this rhythm and gradually advance the time for going to bed at night. Get up at sunrise in the morning.

Winter: Go to bed early and get up late, and get more sunshine.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, which is the rest season arranged by nature. People who have been busy for a year should take this opportunity to catch up on their sleep. Go to bed early after dark. If you can't sleep, you can lie down and rest. You can wait until sunrise in the morning.

Sleep health

Conditioning your body when you sleep is not the same as conditioning during the day.

Some nursed back to health are not as effective when awake as when asleep.

Because during sleep, many activities of the body stop. Just like equipment downtime, our bodies need time to grow, repair and detoxify.

For example, brain detoxification is carried out while people are sleeping.

How to detoxify the brain, so sleep itself is the aftercare of the body.

Then what can be done to strengthen aftercare?

The ancients had many ways to strengthen from head to toe. Nowadays, when I sleep, I use foot stickers more, because it is really simple, convenient and effective. Stick the navel when sleeping.

The navel is very important here. Don't let it catch cold when sleeping. When people with stomach cold sleep, they apply warm-yang Chinese medicine on their navel, which has a good effect.

Umbilical plaster, moxibustion plaster and medicine bag for warming abdomen can be used. Sleeping on a Chinese medicine pillow is the most convenient way. Pillow bags made of traditional Chinese medicine, stuffed into the pillow, lie on the pillow every night to sleep, by the way, can also promote sleep.

Foot patch is effective in treating diseases, and medicated pillow is mainly for health care. The influence of long water flow.

Unconsciously, the drug acts on the meridian points of the head slowly and persistently, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits, and effectively improving immunity.
