Old people's summer sleep taboo 1, grasp the sleep time.
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so the rest time of the elderly should be adjusted accordingly. The best time for the elderly to sleep is 22-23 o'clock, and the best time to get up is 5: 30 -6: 30. Old people should sleep for at least 6 hours every day and form the habit of taking a scientific nap. Don't take too long, 1-2 hours is the best. They should sleep 10-30 minutes after meals.
2, avoid eating before going to bed.
After the elderly fall asleep, the rhythm of some physical activities will slow down and people will rest. If you eat before going to bed, your stomach will be busy again, which will increase their burden, and other parts of your body will not get a good rest, which will not only affect your sleep, but also damage your health. At the same time, drinking strong tea and coffee before going to bed is easy to make it difficult to fall asleep and affect the normal sleep of the elderly.
3, sleep should avoid catching a cold.
As the saying goes? Summer night is like an arrow? Therefore, the elderly should not sleep under air conditioners and fans, nor on the floor or outdoors with through flow. In summer, many people will have diarrhea and abdominal pain because of catching cold, mainly because the temperature of the human body is regulated by the whole body skin, especially the palms and toes. Although the skin temperature is constantly changing, the skin temperature of human abdomen and chest is almost constant. Therefore, the elderly who are hot in summer should also cover their chest and abdomen with sheets to avoid catching cold and getting sick.
