When do you sleep and exercise at night?
About one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep, which is a normal routine. Adequate sleep can help people recover their physical and mental strength, relieve stress, and then maintain the normal operation of the body. For sleep time, too long or too short will affect our health. If you don't get enough sleep for a long time, it may lead to a temporary decline in IQ and even the risk of neurasthenia. If we sleep too long, it will not only affect our health, but also affect the operation of our biological clock, increase the risk of obesity, and even increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

What time do you go to bed at night and be energetic the next day? Old Chinese doctor: Three-phase health care is very important.

The first time period: sub-time

The noon hour refers to the afternoon 1 1 to the next afternoon 1. If you stay up late at home, you will consume the newborn yang, which is extremely unfavorable to the human body. From the perspective of zang-fu organs, the opportunity to sleep and keep fit as a child is also the "courage" to raise people. "Eleven zang-organs all depend on gallbladder", if gallbladder qi does not germinate, it will affect the functions of other viscera. If you can't stay alive, you will fall asleep. Therefore, from the perspective of health, it is very important to have a good sleep.

Sleep is very important for nourishing qi and blood, especially in childhood. Sleep is as important to women as any health care product. Sleeping at night is the best opportunity for women to nourish yin and replenish blood. Chinese medicine advocates "quietness and nourishing yin", and women should keep quiet when sleeping. In addition, women's health care also pays attention to "using blood for use". If you sleep well, you will be full of blood.

The second time period: ugly time

Ugly time refers to 1 until 3 am. According to the 12-hour regimen of meridian flow in Huangdi Neijing, Zishi and Ugliness belong to the seasons of gallbladder and liver, and these two times are the best time to detoxify. When people fall asleep in childhood, gallbladder can complete metabolism; On the contrary, people who stay awake for a long time are pale and prone to diseases such as hepatitis, cholecystitis and stones. The liver meridian is orderly in ugly times, "the liver stores blood", and Huangdi Neijing says: "The blood belongs to the liver when lying down". If you are still awake when you are ugly, the liver meridian cannot complete the metabolism of waste blood. If you don't sleep for a long time, your face will be blue and gray, and your mood will be tired and dry, which will easily lead to liver disease! Poor liver and gallbladder detoxification will inevitably appear on the face, followed by a series of problems such as acne, toxin precipitation leading to dark yellow and black face, large pores and so on.

Some people wake up in the morning and find themselves on fire, with acne on their faces, or oral ulcers and gum. This may be because Ugly didn't sleep, or didn't go into deep sleep. Failure to nourish liver yin will lead to both liver fire and gallbladder fire. The fire of the liver and gallbladder spreads to the stomach, the face is prone to acne, and the gums are prone to swelling and pain or ulcers; When the fire of the liver and gallbladder spreads to the lungs, it is easy to grow acne on the nose, or blackheads and rosacea appear; When the fire of the liver and gallbladder reaches the spleen, there will be oral ulcers; When the fire of the liver and gallbladder reaches the pericardium, there will be tongue ulcers.

The third time period: Yin Shi

Yin Shi means 3 am to 5 am. At this time, the lung meridian is the most active, which is the season. At this time, the lung meridian distributes qi and blood to all parts of the body, and then redistributes qi and blood to the whole body. This activity must be carried out in deep sleep. If you always dream at this time, you will allocate more blood to your brain, and you will feel particularly tired when you get up in the morning. If qi and blood are insufficient, the distribution of lung meridians can not be reached, and people are particularly easy to wake up at this time. Therefore, people who often wake up at 3-5 o'clock should be seriously deficient in qi and blood.

Sleep time is too long or too short, so how many hours is the best for our health? In fact, sleep time is not fixed, and the time needed for sleep needs to be determined according to age. Generally speaking, babies need about 15 hours, growing teenagers need about 10 hours, and adults and the elderly need about 8 hours. But both adults and children must have enough sleep during the above three periods. Having a good sleep quality helps us live longer, because sleep quality is often related to the length of life. A good sleep will make us healthier and live longer.
