The ancients attached great importance to sleep, because people spent most of their lives sleeping, working eight hours during the day and resting and sleeping most of the night. There is a book called "Eight Chapters of Respect for Life", in which there is a sentence called "Autumn moon should freeze feet and brains. The winter months should warm your feet and brain. 」

Feet are our feet and brains are our heads. This sentence refers to a principle to be adhered to when sleeping: the head and feet should be slightly cold in autumn and warm in winter. The point is to keep your feet warm in winter. In winter, energy is on the body surface during the day and goes deep into the body at night. If your feet are cold, energy can't go back or be stored.

After beginning of spring, the energy began to release slowly. If it is not stored well in winter, less energy will be released in spring. Neijing said: "winter is not full of essence, but spring is warm." In other words, whether the energy in spring is sufficient or not is related to the energy storage in the previous season, which is a one-year perspective.

The same is true every day. Daytime is equivalent to spring and summer, and sleeping at night belongs to autumn and winter, so try to keep a good habit of sleeping at night. Guidance before going to bed, such as rubbing your feet with your hands, rubbing Yongquan point in the center of your feet, or rubbing Taixi point, which is located in the nest between your ankle and the external tendon.

In life activities, our eyes play a great role in contacting and observing the outside world. What is the relationship between eyes and sleep? The ancients thought that sleep was the food for the eyes, so they said, "Sleep is the food for the eyes. If you don't sleep for seven days, your eyes will be dry If you don't sleep for seven days, your eyes will be greatly damaged.

I met some friends, who are highly nearsighted and wear thick glasses. My first advice to them is to sleep more and improve the quality of sleep, especially in winter. Ensuring the quality of sleep helps to maintain or even restore the vision of the eyes.

Many friends have the habit of soaking their feet before going to bed at night. Here's a reminder: it's ok to soak your feet, but don't soak them in sweat.

Because winter is the time to harvest, it is also a kind of rebellion not to harvest when you sweat. Many students say that your TCM regimen confuses me. Do you want to do this or that? In fact, Chinese medicine should understand one word: "degree".

The idiom "too much is not enough" can neither be insufficient nor too much, so this degree is the golden mean. Warm your feet and head in winter, but don't sweat. This is a degree. Grasping this degree is the real health care.

The key to sleep is also the degree of harmony. Students who are nearsighted or farsighted must pay attention to sleep.

Speaking of eyes, the myopia I see is generally body heat, because heat is an expansion phenomenon, myopia itself is also caused by eye swelling, while hyperopia is caused by body cold. Body heat and yin deficiency are also difficult to collect. Chinese medicine says that it is sunny during the day and cloudy at night. Exercise during the day and sleep at night is cloudy.

Therefore, friends with myopia should extend their sleep time, while those with hyperopia should warm their bodies, so it is very important to warm their feet.

When people get old, they tend to be more and more distant. In fact, when people get old, the yang is getting weaker and weaker, and the body is gradually in a state of insufficient yang, which means it is colder. This is the so-called "yang deficiency and yin excess". Therefore, the elderly should pay special attention to soaking their feet before going to bed in winter, which is not only good for their health, but also good for maintaining their eyesight.

There is another way-moxibustion on the eyes, how about it? Put a special cover on your eyes, and then the moxa stick is about 3 inches away from your eyes, which is the distance of four fingers. No harm to eyes, 10 minutes or so, eyes will shine after moxibustion. This is also a method. But we must pay attention to safety, protect ourselves and don't hurt ourselves.

Feet are cold and sad, and people's resentment hurts the country.

There is a book, which many students may not have heard of, called "Su Shu", which is about "people are cold and sad, and people complain about hurting the country. Cold feet not only affect the collection of kidneys, but also harm the heart. Because energy can't get in, this situation continues, and cold will accumulate over time, and then cold will enter the blood circulation, affecting the process of blood circulation, and slowly some diseases will occur in the heart.

The ancients compared this state to a metaphor: some systems promulgated by the state were unreasonable, and the people began to complain a little. For example, the state forces farmers to grow grapes. As a result, the latitude in this place is too high and the winter is too cold. After the people planted grapes because of the government's policy, the grapes froze to death the next year and there was no harvest.

There is something wrong with the government's policy, and there is no scientific proof. This kind of thing lasted for a long time, and corrupt officials made the people more angry. Over time, it will hurt the country. This is called "people's resentment against the country and hatred against the country", and it is all accumulated. So is good health. Cold feet means that your policies are wrong and your sleep habits are not good.

Sleep is not simply sleeping on a pillow, there are many details to pay attention to. Sleep is especially important for women. As the saying goes, "Men eat and women sleep". Why? From the point of view of beauty, skin color and skin moisturizing degree have a great relationship with the functions of the two dirty organs.

The first is that the complexion is related to the function of the liver. Liver stores blood, which has strong detoxification function and good blood quality. There is no toxin in it, so the reflected skin color is red, just like girls.

When a woman reaches a certain age, she will be described as a "yellow-faced woman". The main reason is that the liver's blood storage function is not good, the liver's detoxification ability is reduced and there are too many toxins in the blood.

The second is the wetness of the skin. The moistening of skin is related to the function of spleen, which controls the generation of dampness and blood, so one is liver and the other is spleen. If these two functions are good, a woman's complexion will be good. Sleep is mainly to help us expel toxins from the blood, and evening is the process of detoxification. Sleep is the best time for the body to detoxify. Sleeping too much will not make your face yellow, and sleeping well will not make your face worse. This is especially important for female friends.

Let me give you a brief summary. We are talking about two sentences. The first one is "Warm feet and brain in winter", and the second one is "Sleep is food for eyes". 」
