Fourth, methods to improve sleep quality.
Rule 1: Sleep Time
Sleep in four seasons, spring and summer should be "late to bed and early to rise", autumn should be "early to bed and early to rise" and winter should be "early to bed and early to rise". It is better to get up before sunrise, not too late. Normal people usually sleep about 8 hours a day, and those who are weak and sick should increase their sleep time appropriately.
Rule 2: Sleep direction
Sleep with your head facing north and your feet facing south. The human body is influenced by the earth's magnetic field anytime and anywhere, and the brain is also disturbed by the magnetic field when sleeping. When people sleep, they take the posture of head north and feet south, so that the magnetic field lines can pass through the human body smoothly and minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field.
Rule 3: Sleeping posture
Sleeping like a bow is effective, and lying on your side is light. Studies have shown that "sleeping like a bow" can just reduce the force of the center of the earth on the human body. Because the heart of the human body is mostly on the left side of the body, lying to the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart, and at the same time avoid putting your hands near the heart to avoid waking up from nightmares.
Rule 4: Sleep time.
People who are "night owls" or "go to bed early and get up late" should find their own biological clocks to improve the efficiency of sleep and rest. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the maximum temperature difference is at noon (at night 1 1 to morning 1) and at noon (at day 1 1 3), so the human body needs proper rest during this period.
Rule 5: Sleep environment
Try to avoid placing too many electrical appliances in the bedroom to ensure that the human brain will not be disturbed too much when resting. In addition, don't wear "watches", "teeth" and mobile phones to sleep, otherwise it will affect your health.
