Sleep has always been a problem that China health care experts attach great importance to. Since ancient times, people in China have paid great attention to the ways of sleeping and keeping in good health. What did the ancients have? Don't look for a fairy to find a sleeping party? Statement. In fact, modern people are facing more serious sleep problems, so we should pay more attention to sleep health. Understanding the experience of ancient people's sleep regimen will give us some useful lessons.

1. Sleep at night without covering your head.

Not lying down? The statement comes from "A Thousand Daughters". The original text says:? Longevity without covering your head on winter nights? . The head is the intersection of all yang, the place where all yang meridians converge, and the qi and blood run vigorously. Covered on the head, on the one hand, it is easy to affect the operation of qi and blood, and on the other hand, it may cause sweating on the head and muscle relaxation, thus making the disease and evil take advantage of it. More importantly, from the perspective of modern medicine, lying on your back will affect the smooth breathing and reduce the quality of sleep. So it makes sense to lie down.

Ordinary people lie down, facing east in spring and summer and facing west in autumn and winter.

The head is a place where many meridians converge, and the gas it receives will flow down from the head to the whole body like a shower. The orientation of the head during sleep is indeed a noteworthy problem.

Sun Simiao, an ancient doctor in China, advocated that mortals lie down, facing east in spring and summer and facing west in autumn and winter. That is, in spring and summer, the head sleeps in the east to meet the sun, and in autumn and winter, the head sleeps in the west to nourish the yin.

If you are in trouble or need to supplement the yang, you can simply keep your head facing east, which is a good way to sleep.

The book of rites of authority? "Jade algae? Heng Dongshou? That is, going east all the year round. It is said to be the sunrise in the east.

3 methods of sleep

Methods of sleep have been studied and discussed since ancient times. Cao Tingdong, a great physician in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, summed it up particularly systematically. Fuck, vertical method? More respected.

Fuck? You have to first? Think about your head? (think ahead), and then what? Silent snorting? (Breathe through nose, recite times), and then what? Back to dantian? Bring your thoughts back to your belly. Can you do it so many times? Can't be separated if you have a heart? , gradually fall asleep.

Vertical? And use it? Fuck? On the contrary, let it go, wandering in the distance, where there is no me? (that is, distant, boundless and irrelevant places), even forgetting yourself, you can gradually fall into a hazy sleep.

Neither of the above two sleep modes can be adopted. Fuck? Too soon? Vertical? The most important thing is to be calm and forget yourself.

So Gu Zhi? Hey hey? What is the difference? God lives in the eyes; Only when God lives in his heart will he sleep? .

Only? Heart? With what? God? Only when we meet can we really fall asleep.

4 sleeping posture

Ancient people were also very particular about sleeping position.

"Yi Xi sleeping tactics" advocates that if you lie on the right, you will bend your right foot; Bend your right arm and hold your head with your hand; Stick out your left foot and put your hand between your thighs. Lying on the left, opposite to the front.

Buddhism stipulates lying on the right side. What is this called? Lucky sleep? It also makes scientific sense, because the human heart is on the left. If you lie on the left, you may oppress the heart.
