Speaking of sleep, many people don't take it seriously. Wen Zhi, a famous doctor in the Warring States Period, said to Qi Weiwang, "My way of keeping in good health is to sleep first. People and animals only grow when they sleep, and sleep helps the spleen and stomach digest food. So sleep is the first supplement to health. People don't sleep for a night, and they can't recover for a hundred days. "

As we all know, Hua Tuo was a very famous physician in ancient times, and his regimen began with sleeping. Remember the following four sleep commandments, it's hard to get old!

Rule 1: Be sure to sleep before going to bed.

In the ancient concept of health preservation, sleep is the first important thing in life. If you don't sleep before midnight (equivalent to 1 1 pm- 1 am), over time, both men and women will have liver damage and kidney damage, which will gradually lead to deficiency of both qi and blood. When you look in the mirror every day, you will feel your face turn gray.

So, it's okay to get up early, but it's absolutely impossible to go to bed late. Many patients with depression have the habit of staying up late, which often hurts the liver, sperm and gallbladder. This kind of people often have bad eyes, lack of energy, and seldom have fun (lung qi is also affected, so they can't get effective publicity for a long time).

Others think that sleeping in at night can make up for the lack of daytime. In fact, they can't make up for it at all, either they can't sleep or they don't get enough sleep. Even if they think they have made up for it, in fact, most of their qi and blood have been damaged.

Rule 2: Don't think about everything when you sleep.

See this body as nothing, or like sugar in water, melt the big toe first, then the other toes, then the feet, calves and thighs gradually melt, and finally disappear and fall asleep naturally.

This is your ideal mental state when you fall asleep. Many times, insomnia comes from lingering distractions when you fall asleep.

Don't toss and turn in bed at this time, so as not to waste your mind and make it harder to fall asleep. The best way is to sit for a while before going to bed.

In fact, for modern people, it is also very important to go to bed early and brew emotions before 1 1 at night, so as to calm their mind for a while. "Sleep first, then sleep" is the truth.

Article 3: Take a nap or sit still.

At noon (equivalent to 1 1 am to 1 pm), if conditions are limited and you can't sleep, you can sit still for a quarter of an hour and close your eyes. In fact, as long as you close your eyes at noon and really fall asleep for 10 minutes, it is equivalent to sleeping for two hours, but noon should be right. Many people have this experience, even if the nap time is short, it will greatly help the mental state in the afternoon.

Article 4: You must get up early and go to bed.

For human health, getting up early is beneficial to human metabolism. The advantage of getting up early is that on the one hand, it can excrete the polluted gas of metabolism; If you get up too late, the large intestine will not be fully active and the excretion function will not be completed well.

In addition, the digestion and absorption function of the human body is most active from 7 am to 9 am, which is the "golden time" for nutrient absorption. So, don't stay in bed, dizziness and fatigue are all caused by sleepiness.
