Ways to stay asleep
Improve the sleeping environment If you think that you can have a healthy sleep as long as you choose these things correctly, it is a big mistake, because sleep is not only related to these things, but also closely related to the bedroom environment.

Going green and environmental protection

First, choose green products. The selection, use and maintenance of houses, decoration, furniture, electrical appliances and all kinds of daily necessities should meet the requirements of environmental protection, especially when purchasing, they must be carefully selected in strict accordance with environmental quality standards and be as non-toxic and harmless as possible. Choose environmentally friendly decorative materials and household items.

fresh air

Choose the room whose window faces the sun as the bedroom. The window should not be too big, and the bedside should not be placed under the window. During the day, the sun shines directly on the bed, and the bacteria on the quilt are removed by the power of ultraviolet rays. If weather conditions permit, try to open the window and ventilate the bedroom to keep the indoor air fresh. In addition, you can choose some air purification products, such as some bamboo charcoal package and bamboo charcoal pillows, which can help you purify the indoor air.

comfort temperature

The suitable room temperature of the bedroom is 18 ~ 20 degrees Celsius, and the air humidity is about 60 ~ 70%. Such temperature and humidity are also beneficial to the sanitary conditions of the mattress itself.

Don't make noise.

A quiet environment is the foundation of a good sleep. So try not to put complicated electrical equipment in the bedroom. It is more suitable for the bedroom to be far away from the kitchen and bathroom. If family members often have difficulty falling asleep, they should also pay attention to the mute function when choosing alarm clock and air conditioner.

Pay attention to hygiene

Pay attention to indoor environmental sanitation, develop good hygiene habits, wash and dry bedding and clothes frequently, and use cleaners and disinfectants reasonably. At the same time, it is necessary to enhance indoor environmental awareness, raise indoor pollution awareness, find indoor odor, or feel depressed, often catch a cold, and reduce immunity, especially when you get up in the morning, you often have a sore throat and poor breathing if you don't smoke. You should carry out technical inspection on the indoor environment as soon as possible and take measures in time.

Beautify the room

Planting flowers and grass indoors can not only beautify the living environment, but also resist the pollution of indoor harmful substances. For example, cactus and cactus can absorb carbon dioxide and harmful gases in the air and release oxygen and negative oxygen ions; Chlorophytum can effectively absorb volatile gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and chlorine peroxide; Aloe can absorb a lot of formaldehyde; Ivy and chrysanthemum can decompose formaldehyde in plywood and xylene in carpets, insulation materials and wallpaper; Peppermint not only can resist ozone, but also has bactericidal effect. The comfort of bedding directly affects the depth of sleep. The more comfortable pillows and bedding are, the better you will sleep. Furthermore, comfortable bedding is not only a simple household necessity, but also our inner home and shelter that we subconsciously rely on. Therefore, we must create a good sleep and relaxed mood through comfortable bedding. Achieve sleep health ~

pillow

According to ergonomic design, a pillow with moderate hardness can ensure that the muscles of the head and neck are fully supported and properly relaxed.

Choose humanized design.

The three sleeping positions of supine, lateral and prone should be matched with different types of sleeping pillows to keep the head, neck and spine level and fully relax the muscles. There are many pillows on the market, which can provide all kinds of support according to your favorite sleeping position. Generally speaking, if you sleep on your back or on your side, you can choose a hard pillow. If you sleep on your head, you'd better be soft. Choose a pillow with humanized design, so that you can sleep comfortably on your side or back. Relax and sleep!

◎ Choose your favorite materials.

The choice of filling material is entirely personal preference. Feather pillows are more suitable for head shape than other pillows, but may cause allergic reactions, such as asthma or rhinitis. Latex pillow has no such worries, and it is also a very environmentally friendly material, which is not only very breathable, but also can purify indoor air and help improve sleep quality.

mattress

Woke up in the morning feeling backache? That's mostly because the mattress doesn't provide enough support for your body, so that the pressure on your body can't be released.

Pay attention to material selection

Many people tend to ignore the formaldehyde pollution of mattresses. If there are formaldehyde and biological pollution problems in the mattress, the harm to people is more serious than ordinary furniture. So you must choose carefully when buying a mattress. Mattresses generally use springs, foams, latex and natural materials. Different materials have their own advantages in hardness, durability and air permeability. Latex mattress has the best air permeability and is suitable for people with allergies. If you choose a non-latex mattress, you should pay attention to the environmental protection of other mattress materials. Try to choose mattresses of well-known brands. If possible, you can open the mattress and see if there are any defects in the internal structure. When choosing a mattress, you should pay attention to smell it, especially pay attention to opening the plastic packaging of the mattress, or open the detection port on the side of the mattress to smell it.

Try to lie down.

When you buy a mattress, you must try it on yourself. You can try sitting and lying down. Get up from your seat and see if the mattress will return to its original state soon. Bend your knees and press hard on the bed to see how elastic it is. Those with poor elasticity and slow resilience are not good mattresses. Besides, lie flat on the bed. In addition, lie flat on the bed and insert your palm into the gap between your waist and the mattress. If your hand can be easily inserted into the gap, the bed is too hard. If the palm is close to the gap, it means that the hardness is moderate. When your spine is resting, this mattress will take on a natural S-shape.

quilt

Like mattresses and pillows, quilts should be personal belongings. Pay attention to the thickness of the quilt when choosing it. It is best to prepare two quilts in spring, autumn and summer. If possible, you can choose functional quilts, such as eco-environment, deodorization and bacteriostasis, mite prevention and so on.

Comfortable sleeping bedding provides us with a good rest environment and allows us to make full use of an important third of our life. Achieve sleep health, health and longevity! First, ensure normal sleep time. You should go to bed before midnight (23 ~ 0 1) and get into the best sleep state at midnight. The sleep mechanism of TCM is that when Yin Qi is abundant, you will fall asleep and when Yang Qi is abundant, you will wake up. According to the sleep theory in Huangdi Neijing, midnight is the meeting of Yin and Yang, and fire and water meet Thai, which is called "Yin". It is the heaviest time of the day when Yin dominates quietness, so you should sleep at midnight. Just as plants absorb the energy of sunlight and grow at night, rural crops can also hear the sound of jointing at night. People and plants are both creatures, and the cycle of cell division is roughly the same. If you miss the good opportunity to sleep at night, the regeneration of cells will be far behind the death, and people will get old or get sick prematurely. If people want to let nature take its course, they must follow the sun, that is, they will wake up and sleep.

Second, improve the quality of sleep. Deep sleep can help the human body to automatically adjust the frequency, receive the signals of nature, and accept the qi of heaven and earth, thus ensuring that the yang is nourished.

Third, ensure a relatively quiet sleeping environment and a fairly good sleeping air environment. Sun Simiao's philosophy of keeping in good health once advocated sleeping and resting.

Fourth, adjusting the direction of falling asleep can also improve the quality of sleep. According to the distribution of the earth's magnetic field lines and magnetic fields, it is suggested that people can sleep with their feet facing south and their heads facing north to improve their sleep quality.

Therefore, sleep can nourish essence, strengthen spleen and stomach, and strengthen bones and muscles. Sleep is the process of keeping healthy. For a good sleep, we must pay attention to the sleeping environment and create a high-quality sleeping environment in the family bedroom, which is the premise of obtaining high-quality sleep and the first condition of new Chinese sleep.
