What about insomnia?
Sleep is very important to our human body. Enough sleep can make you have enough energy to cope with the next day's work and life. If you often suffer from insomnia at night, it will not only affect your mental state the next day, but even cause endocrine disorders, which will lead to various diseases.

In life, many people go to bed around 22: 30 at night, but they often wake up at two or three in the morning, and it is difficult to fall asleep after waking up. What's going on here? Let me talk to you about this problem.

First of all, judging from this sleeping time, it is neither too early nor too late to go to bed around 22: 30 in the evening. It can be said that the timing of sleeping is relatively normal. If you sleep well, you can usually wake up around 6 or 7 in the morning. But I woke up at two or three in the morning, and it was hard to fall asleep after waking up, indicating that there was something wrong with sleep and I was already insomnia.

So, what makes it difficult to fall asleep after waking up at two or three in the morning? I think there are several main reasons: 1, too angry.

When we sleep at night, all the organs and tissues of our body are still detoxifying, and the toxins produced in the body are metabolized and detoxified. 23: 00 p.m. to early morning 1, which is the time for gallbladder detoxification; 65438+ 0 am to 3 am, which is the time for liver detoxification; From 3 am to 5 am, this is the time to detoxify the lungs; From 5 am to 7 am, this is the time to detoxify the large intestine. Therefore, when we go to bed around 10 at night, all organs of the body are still doing detoxification during sleep. However, if an organ is abnormal in the corresponding time period, detoxification will be affected, and it is easy for us to wake up in sleep and it is difficult to fall asleep again.

So from this point on, if you wake up at two or three in the morning, it's time for the liver to detoxify. The reason why I woke up at this time indicates that there is something wrong with my liver. In particular, excessive liver fire makes the liver meridian most active and affects the detoxification of the liver, so it is easy to sober up. Moreover, we can also find that people who wake up at this time often have symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter taste, bad temper and red eyes, which are all manifestations of liver problems.

2, think too much, perhaps neurasthenia can not enter a deep sleep state.

When we fall asleep around 22: 30 in the evening, it takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours to enter a deep sleep state. Therefore, the period from 0 to 3 is a deep sleep time. However, if we have neurasthenia, such as excessive brain use for a long time, we are prone to anxiety, upset, memory loss, easy to wake up and so on.

In addition, if you think too much about something during the day, even if you are asleep, your mind will continue to focus on the things during the day, so you can't sleep deeply and wake up easily. This is thinking during the day and dreaming at night.

3. Female climacteric syndrome

Many menopausal women easily wake up in the middle of the night and suffer from insomnia. This is mainly because there are problems with hormones in their bodies, especially the ovarian function slowly begins to decline, and the secretion of estrogen decreases, which will easily lead to endocrine disorders and often wake up in the middle of the night, leading to insomnia.

So, when this happens, how should I improve my insomnia? First, relax before going to bed. Drinking a cup of hot milk or listening to some pleasant and relaxing light music before going to bed is good for relaxing.

Secondly, you can drink some foods or drinks that clear the liver and purge fire, such as Ziziphus jujuba seed soup or Ziziphus jujuba seed porridge, which are good choices and help to improve insomnia caused by neurasthenia, insomnia and dreaminess, and vigorous liver fire. Thereby playing the role of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.

Finally, if the symptoms of waking up easily in the middle of the night have not been well improved, then it is best to go to the hospital to do relevant examinations, find out the cause or find Chinese medicine to prescribe.

Message from the author: I am very happy to give you the knowledge of popular science and health. I am a left-handed doctor. I give you the knowledge of popular science and medicine in simple language every day. Codewords are not easy. If you like my article, please give me a compliment! If you have any questions, you can leave a message in the comments section. Welcome to pay attention and forward. Thank you for your support! Going to bed around 10:30 at night, it should be said that it is not too late or too early, which is basically a relatively healthy time.

It is difficult to fall asleep after waking up at about two or three o'clock. It can be judged that this is definitely a state of insomnia. Insomnia is too destructive to health and must be solved as soon as possible.

To solve this problem, we can start from the following aspects.

Get ready in advance before going to bed. Avoid contact with activities that can cause emotional changes before going to bed. No videos, no games. Any external stimuli that can excite you should be minimized or avoided.

You can do something to calm yourself down. It depends on your personal situation. For example, you can practice writing, reading and listening to light music. Or find some meditation-guided audio and relax yourself. It usually helps.

Of course, it is also important to eat less stimulating drinks during the day, such as tea or coffee, especially after the afternoon.

Have a comfortable environment when sleeping. Comfortable environment first refers to the quiet surrounding environment and the light outside the window. These factors usually exist objectively. If you are sensitive to these factors, do a comprehensive investigation before moving.

Then there are the factors of indoor sleep comfort, such as temperature. It's summer now, so turn on the air conditioner to the most suitable temperature to avoid overheating or supercooling. It is customary to cover the quilt and blow the air conditioner or the blanket and blow the fan, and choose the way that suits you best.

In addition, a set of bedding that is very suitable for you is of course very important, such as comfortable sheets, mattresses with moderate hardness and so on. If the cervical vertebra is uncomfortable, you must choose a pillow that suits you. These are all to avoid turning over and waking up when sleeping.

Avoid getting more and more excited after waking up. On the one hand, avoid strengthening the psychological consciousness that you can't sleep. If you keep emphasizing it, it may have a greater and greater impact on you.

On the other hand, when you can't sleep, you should control yourself. Don't think that you can't sleep anyway, just play mobile phones, brush videos and watch movies, otherwise you may be a little sleepy, but your brain will get more and more excited, and then it will dawn soon if you are not careful. In view of this, you can put your mobile phone away from the bedside to avoid your instinctive choice to play with it.

During the day, it is fundamental to solve the source of stress. Insomnia may be a major factor, which stems from some stresses you face in your daily life. Because you can't solve these pressures, you are in your subconscious all night or 24 hours a day.

When I'm under too much pressure, I think about it all day, dream at night and even sleep. Wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and cause anxiety. The more anxious I am, the less I can sleep.

Whether at the psychological level, relieving stress by giving yourself hints, exercising or other means, or solving the substantive problems you face and relieving stress from the root, these two aspects are the directions that need to be worked hard.

All kinds of pressure and escape are not the way. Only by facing directly, the most effective way to solve anxiety is to act. If you have insomnia for this reason, you must find the source to solve it.

Of course, it is also possible that some diseases do appear in the body. This can be checked by observing whether there are other obvious physical discomfort and physical examination, and then symptomatic treatment.

I wish you get rid of sleep troubles as soon as possible, and then you will be healthy and have a good life.

Those who can sleep can eat and live forever.

Sleep is of great significance to human life and health.

Once there is a problem with sleep, it will also reflect the health problems.

The first type: lung diseases.

If you often wake up at 3-5 in the middle of the night, you should consider lung disease at this time.

Chinese medicine says that during this period, the lung meridian is in season. If the lung is diseased, it is easy to wake up suddenly and even be accompanied by cough.

For a long time, you'd better look at your lungs.

The second type: myocardial ischemia

Wake up in the middle of the night for a long time, can't sleep again, and be alert to myocardial ischemia.

After falling asleep, the activity of body organs decreases. When the blood supply of the heart can't meet the needs of the blood supply of the brain, the cerebral cortex will become active and stimulate the blood supply of the heart.

At this time, it will often wake up in the middle of the night.

Myocardial ischemia can also lead to chest tightness, palpitation, palpitation, breath holding and other manifestations.

The third type: the liver is full of fire.

If you wake up at midnight 1-3, you need to be alert to excessive anger.

At this time, the liver meridian is the most active. Once the liver fire is strong, it is easy to wake up and can't sleep.

In addition, hyperactivity of the liver can also lead to bad temper, dry mouth, bitter taste, headache and spontaneous sweating, redness and redness of eyes.

The fourth kind: neurasthenia

For people who use their brains too much for a long time, if they often wake up in the middle of the night, they should be alert to brain neurasthenia.

People with neurasthenia are also prone to anxiety, emotional rage, upset and memory loss.

The fifth type: menopausal syndrome

Some menopausal women will also wake up in the middle of the night and suffer from insomnia.

Mainly due to ovarian function slowly began to decline, leading to endocrine disorders.

The first thing: emptying urine Although the body is in the process of sleep, urine will continue to be produced during this process. Many people are unwilling to get up at night, which will increase the pressure on the bladder.

Therefore, it is suggested that we go to the toilet once when we are ready to sleep, so as to prevent the bladder from gradually affecting its function due to excessive pressure, resulting in dysfunction of urine storage.

Moreover, once urine containing a large number of bacteria returns, the kidney is easily infected, which may lead to nephritis until the renal function is damaged.

The second thing: brush your teeth before going to bed. Although most people in life have the habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed, don't doubt that some people don't brush their teeth before going to bed, or when they are very tired at work, washing their faces and brushing their teeth becomes a burden.

But in fact, from a health point of view, brushing your teeth before going to bed is actually more important than brushing your teeth in the morning.

Because brushing your teeth before going to bed can not only remove oral deposits, but also help protect your teeth and sleep peacefully.

And it is also very important that brushing your teeth before going to bed can reduce the incidence of heart disease.

The third thing: comb your hair before going to bed. Chinese medicine believes that the head is the place where hundreds of arteries and veins meet, with more than 40 acupoints and many veins.

Therefore, combing your hair often can achieve the function of dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation.

Another simple method is to insert five fingers into the hair to massage the scalp and stimulate scalp acupuncture points.

Stimulation of various acupoints can calm the liver, calm the wind, induce resuscitation and relieve pain, and improve eyesight.

The fourth thing: soaking feet before going to bed is the farthest place from the heart, and often you can't get enough blood irrigation. Soaking feet before going to bed every day can promote blood circulation and sleep.

In addition, there are many acupoints on the feet, which give bubbles to the feet and contribute to health.

Soaking feet in summer also helps to drive away colds caused by long-term air conditioning and cold drinks.

Fifth: pinch your calf before going to bed, because it is not suitable for doing some strenuous exercise before going to bed, which will affect the quality of sleep.

So you can do some small actions that are helpful to your body, such as pinching your calves before going to bed.

The calf is covered with venous blood vessels, which can strengthen venous blood circulation in the process of rubbing legs, which has a certain auxiliary effect on the three high people and can prevent heart disease.

Note: don't rub your legs too hard, and don't rub your legs too hard. Just feel a little sore.

Sixth: Pushing the abdomen before going to bed can achieve the effects of cleaning up the garbage in the meridians, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and tonifying the kidney and nourishing the heart.

Pushing the abdomen itself before going to bed can reduce the fat in the abdomen and lower body, because pushing the abdomen can bring fresh blood to the abdomen and lower body.

The method is simple. The body naturally lies flat. Make a fist with both hands (you can also use the palm of your hand) and push it from the center of your chest to the bottom of your navel. There is only one direction. Don't push backwards.

Properly push.

1. China people have a long history of drinking tea. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Tea tastes bitter and cold, which can best reduce fire. Fire is a disease, and it will be clear when it falls. "

Between meals every day, you can drink 1-2 cups of flower seedling mulberry leaf tea, which can reduce the three highs and improve immunity.

Mulberry leaves have the effects of dispersing wind and heat, clearing lung-heat, moistening dryness, clearing liver-fire and improving eyesight.

Modern medical research shows that mulberry leaves contain a variety of amino acids and vitamins, which can reduce blood lipid, cholesterol, thrombosis and atherosclerosis.

In addition, it also has the functions of anti-aging, anti-fatigue, beauty and skin care, and has a good curative effect on acne and brown spots on the face.

Flower seedlings have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, and promoting diuresis to relieve Huang Zhi. These effects are beneficial to protect the liver and promote liver detoxification.

The combination of mulberry leaves and Lygodium japonicum greatly improved the effect. It can not only improve immunity, prevent colds, but also reduce the three highs, killing two birds with one stone.

2. Laughter accompanied by laughter can relieve stress and help improve mood;

Laughter can trigger cerebral cortex reaction, which is beneficial to infect people around you to laugh together;

Laughter can increase white blood cells, promote antibody circulation and improve immunity. ...

Laughter has many benefits. It can raise the level of endorphins, strengthen the immune system and increase the oxygen content in blood vessels. It is also the most natural painkiller with no side effects.

3. Exercise is the cheapest and simplest way to live longer, that is, you need to spend some time running and swimming.

It is also good exercise for middle-aged and elderly friends to play Tai Chi and climb mountains, but the most difficult thing is perseverance. Only by persisting in exercise for a long time can these benefits be highlighted.

I think there are many factors of insomnia, both subjective and objective. Subjective factors are mental factors and objective factors are physical factors. For different reasons, we should solve them one by one. If subjective factors are involved, it is necessary to calm down and relax, and everything goes with the flow and is not forced. If insomnia is caused by physical reasons, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine for different situations. Both Chinese and western medicine have a clear explanation for insomnia.

A good sleep is very important for a person's health. But the pressure of life, the pressure of work, and the colorful life made him sleep late and even suffer from insomnia. More and more people often wake up at two or three in the morning.

As we all know, two or three o'clock in the morning is the prime time for sleep. If you wake up at this moment and can't sleep, it will undoubtedly affect your health, especially if you stay in this state for a long time. Waking up early is also insomnia, which will lead to insufficient sleep time or quality, and it is more likely to wake up early in the morning with age. Some people may think that it is caused by going to bed early, but in fact, whenever such people fall asleep, they will wake up at two or three in the morning and never fall asleep again. So, I often wake up at two or three in the morning. What is the reason? These two points may be the key to health, do you understand?

1. Disease factors

Deficiency of qi and blood is the main reason for waking up in the early morning. With the increase of age, all the functions of the body are gradually declining, especially the cardiopulmonary function. Whenever two or three o'clock in the morning, it is the weakest time of the heart, lungs and meridians. Therefore, the function of heart and lung organs to promote blood circulation is the lowest, which will lead to insufficient blood in the body, especially when the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, people will wake up because of lack of oxygen in the brain. Of course, besides the diseases related to deficiency of qi and blood, there are other disease factors. In this case, I suggest you go to the hospital for examination in time.

2. Psychological factors

Many times, people's insomnia is closely related to psychological factors. Young people are prone to psychological anxiety when facing great pressure in work, life and study. It will affect the quality of sleep at night and wake up early. Middle-aged and elderly people, especially women who enter menopause, have insomnia problems themselves, and their hearts are more anxious, which may easily lead to long-term insomnia and early awakening. The early awakening caused by this situation is mostly caused by emotional depression. In treatment, we need not only drugs, but also psychological counseling, so that we can get better faster.

If you want to sleep reasonably, you must find the root of insomnia. If insomnia is only due to illness, then actively cooperate with the treatment and remain optimistic. After the disease is cured, insomnia will naturally disappear.

If you suffer from insomnia due to work pressure and economic pressure, you should first try to improve your work efficiency and show your wisdom, so as to improve your level and treatment. Or, jump to a place that suits you better and make money happily.

If insomnia is due to emotional problems, you must learn to be sober and rational. After the pain, continue to face the reality and live a strong life. Cherish friendship, affection and love, but also know contentment and fate, there is no perfect life!

If sleep is affected by living environment, sports environment and other factors, such as living in a downtown area with heavy noise pollution and running without changing obesity, you can improve the sound insulation effect or listen to light music to speed up sleep, and move to a quiet place if possible. Running is not for you. You can consult a sports professional to find a sport that suits you.

Of course, there may be comprehensive factors or other reasons leading to insomnia, so we should treat it reasonably. Life is short, keep a sunny attitude and be positive. I believe tomorrow will be better.

Sleep is very important for any living thing. On the long road of life, about one-third of the time is spent in sleep.

Long-term high-intensity work will make us physically and mentally exhausted, and sleep is a way to relax. When we are tired, a good sleep will make us refreshed and full of vitality. Sleep is not only an important physiological need, but also a kind of enjoyment.

Why can't you sleep! In fact, as far as I understand it: "You care too much", it is not difficult to find a phenomenon in real life. The more sensitive people are, the more likely they are to lose sleep. On the contrary, those careless people sleep on pillows, and their sleep quality is particularly high.

Let me make an analogy: insomnia is actually like a pillar, and the so-called anxiety and worry are like a long rope. The two ends of this rope are connected to insomnia and you respectively. The more anxious and worried you are, the more it will affect the pillar of insomnia.

Don't pay too much attention to and worry about insomnia, and don't do all kinds of methods and behaviors that help you sleep, because the more measures you take before going to bed, the more you will care, the heavier your obsession, the less calm your heart will be, so that you won't be tired, but you will be more energetic.

People who drive often have related feelings. The more boring, the easier it is to fall asleep. What do you mean by calling a spade a spade? You don't think about anything. We need to understand that human nerves are divided into sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. The former is active during the day and will be inhibited at night, while the parasympathetic nerve is the opposite. But if your brain activity is too large, the sympathetic nerve will be forced to be active, so even if you want to sleep, it is impossible.

Put it down and you win! Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I have heard the word "let go", which can be applied in many ways and is very suitable for insomnia patients. I think more reasons for insomnia are "persistence".

If you want to overcome insomnia, you must first forget it, but it is really difficult to forget sleep. You will naturally hope and expect to lie in bed every day. It's really hard to forget deliberately. "If you can't resist, you must learn to enjoy it." Don't be obsessed with listening to music, think about happy things. Don't sleep if you can't sleep. You may fall asleep at this time, but not necessarily. Accept the reality and accept your sleep.

Don't ask me a good way to treat insomnia. I once had insomnia, and I couldn't sleep for about 100 hours. I have tried all kinds of methods, and the effect is not obvious. Finally, I had to let myself go, and the result was better. This is my personal experience.

Human life span is relatively short. In these short decades, there is a lot of time to sleep. If sleep is meaningless to human beings, I don't think there will be such an evolutionary choice. Everyone has a deep understanding that when sleep is not good, the whole person has no spirit, but also feels sleepy, headache and dizziness.

In fact, the significance of sleep to human beings is more like helping human beings recover their physical strength and repair the physical damage during the day. In fact, people are like machines to some extent. They are sure to wear out at work and need regular maintenance. This may be the meaning of sleep. In order to let everyone have a good sleep, I'll share some knowledge.

1. What factors can cause sleep disorders? 2. What should I do if I don't sleep well? The reason why there are so many cases that lead to abnormal sleep is mainly to let everyone know that there are many factors that affect sleep. To improve sleep, the most important thing is to find the root cause, such as heart failure, and active treatment can improve sleep. If it is a mental factor, try to solve things and open your heart.

In addition, many people have poor sleep, which may be related to some bad habits, such as drinking coffee and tea before going to bed. Therefore, you should choose some exercise that you can at ordinary times, and don't drink anything that affects your sleep before going to bed. You can also soak your feet with warm water and drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed, and try not to watch some irritating things.

If you still can't control your sleep well, go to the hospital and prescribe some sleeping pills, because for many elderly people, poor sleep will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which may induce stroke, myocardial infarction and other critical diseases.

What about insomnia? To tell the truth, I am also looking for the most effective way to treat insomnia.

When no one is awake, I lie in bed thinking about designing flying saucers, or designing selfie robots, looking for things I can't do, and falling asleep slowly! Counting is useless to me. I used to count and raise it, but now it doesn't count, it's useless! Design a flying saucer in your head and fall asleep quickly!
