In addition, after the long summer, the sunshine time is prolonged, and the morning is early and the night is late. Therefore, people's daily routine should be adjusted accordingly. When following the principle of going to bed late and getting up early, it is best to take a nap at noon, so that the brain and whole body can get a timely rest, eliminate fatigue and maintain abundant energy. Pay attention to cultivate the following three good habits:
Good personal habits
1, good work and rest habits, keep a stable biological clock, help you fall asleep, sleep soundly! 2. Proper and regular exercise.
Exercise can relieve the tension accumulated during the day, relax the body and mind, and thus improve sleep. People who often take part in physical exercise sleep better and deeper than those who don't exercise regularly, but you don't have to deliberately pursue excessive fatigue. At least three days a week, walking, working, swimming or cycling for 20 to 30 minutes should be your goal-the least benefit to the cardiovascular system.
But don't exercise too late. The ideal exercise time is late afternoon or early evening, when physical exercise can help you adjust from stress during the day to happiness at night.
Good eating habits
1, eat more fruits and vegetables and whole grains, eat less oil, sugar and salt, don't eat too much before going to bed, don't go on a diet, don't drink too much, and pay attention to moderate smoking.
2, pay attention to relax yourself, keep a relaxed attitude, positive and optimistic attitude!
3. Never use sleeping aid drugs without expert advice!
Good bedding
1, timely replace, clean and dry the beds, sheets and quilts with good performance;
2. Choose auxiliary healthy bedding-healthy functional bedding. At present, there are too many bamboo mat products with excessive formaldehyde in the market, many of which are big brands, so you should choose carefully. I suggest you choose Liang Jing gel cold compress pad. This kind of cold pad adopts imported gel, which is safe and environmentally friendly. The appearance is wrapped in coarse cotton cloth, which is cooler than bamboo mat and need not be bothered by formaldehyde.
