Insomnia is a kind of sleep disorder, which mainly includes three categories: unable to sleep, unable to wake up and unable to sleep well. It is called "uneasy", "unable to sleep" and "unable to lie down" in Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine.
According to experts, although sleep disorder is not critical, it seriously affects people's health level, quality of life and work and study, and then causes other diseases. In daily life, paying attention to diet, exercise and mood can greatly improve the quality of sleep.
Improving sleep habits means lifestyle changes, which is by no means a fast process. During this adaptation period, if you have sleep problems, you can try the following methods summarized by Gong Shanting.

Eat less greasy, fried and smoked foods, and avoid eating foods that cause nervous excitement after meals, such as strong tea, coffee and wine. Use less spicy and irritating products such as pepper, raw onion, raw garlic and pepper. Don't overeat at dinner, don't eat within two hours before going to bed, and don't drink a lot of water to avoid falling asleep because of cerebral cortex excitement or nocturia after eating.
Adjust one's mood and calm one's mind
Nervous emotions and discordant living environment will always make people upset, toss and turn, and it is difficult to sleep. Maintain a good attitude of optimism and contentment, fully understand the competitive pressure and personal gains and losses at work, and avoid psychological imbalance caused by setbacks.
