It is difficult for light people to fall asleep, and it is difficult for heavy people to sleep all night, which seriously affects people's daily life.

In leisure time, such as resting or watching TV, you can comb your scalp several times with one hand. The direction starts from the forehead hairline and ends from the scalp to the neck along the hairline. In this way, the five fingers can separate the Du Meridian, Bladder Meridian and Gallbladder Meridian of the head, thus achieving the functions of calming the nerves, calming the liver and suppressing yang.

According to the attribution of meridians, you can press and rub the following points with your thumb: Neiguan, Shenmen and Sanyinjiao. Neiguan point is located on the palm surface, 2 inches above the wrist transverse stripes (the same size, that is, the width of each thumb is 1 inch, the same below), between the palmar longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. Shenmen point is located in the transverse striation of the metacarpal wrist and the radial depression of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. Sanyinjiao is on the inner side of the calf, and the tibia can be felt 3 inches above the ankle tip, just behind the tibia. These three acupoints cooperate with each other and massage for 5 ~ 10 minutes every day, which can play a role in calming the nerves.

Third, homemade "calming the nerves and nourishing the brain porridge"

Add 200 grams of millet and 50 grams of lily to the cooked Ziziphus jujuba seeds, and then add a proper amount of water to make porridge. After the porridge is cooked, add 25g of brown sugar and take it 1 hour before going to bed.

Nutritional analysis: Xiaomi, also known as Xiaomi, is sweet, salty and cold. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that Xiaomi "cooks porridge to benefit the abdomen, tonify deficiency and stimulate appetite". Its function lies in "strengthening the spleen and stomach, and sleeping peacefully". Modern medicine believes that the degree of drowsiness after meals is often related to the content of tryptophan in food protein. Tryptophan can cause brain nerve cells to secrete serotonin, which makes people sleepy. It can temporarily inhibit brain thinking activities and make people feel sleepy. The more brain nerve cells secrete this substance, the more difficult it is for people. The content of tryptophan in millet is the highest among all grains, and the content of tryptophan per 100 grams of food is as high as 202 mg, which is incomparable to other grains. In addition, millet is rich in digestible starch, which can make people feel full after eating, promote insulin secretion and further increase the content of tryptophan in the brain. Therefore, it is the best food for sleeping. Lily has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the nerves. Ziziphus jujuba seed is sweet and flat.
