Tuck someone in the quilt. tuck sb. in/ cover with quilt
Too thick a quilt is not good for your health.
Ms. Zhang, a citizen, recently changed into a heavy new quilt, which makes her sleep particularly warm at night. However, when Ms. Zhang woke up in the morning, she felt sore all over, just like muscle aches after a cold. Ms. Zhang felt that there was something wrong with the quilt, and the symptoms disappeared after changing back to the light duvet covered before. Why?
"Many people have misunderstandings about quilt cover." Health experts at Kunming Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine say that many people like to cover themselves with a thick quilt. In fact, thick quilts are warm, but they will affect their sleep. Moreover, sleeping in winter generally does not open the window, the indoor air flow is relatively small, and the quilt is too thick, which will cause slight hypoxia; The air permeability of thick quilts is not so good. Sleeping at night warms and opens pores. Getting up in the morning is easy to catch a cold.
How to cover the quilt to be healthy? It is found that when the bed temperature is 32℃~34℃, people are most likely to fall asleep. The temperature of the bed is low, and it takes a long time to heat with the body temperature, which not only consumes the thermal energy of the human body, but also excites the cerebral cortex after a period of cold stimulation on the body surface, thus delaying the time of falling asleep or causing deep sleep. So when you sleep, you should pay attention to the quilt not to leak air. The best way is to cover two thin layers, which will make you better warm and more comfortable.
In addition, the human body will sweat when sleeping, and the relative humidity of the bed should be kept at 50%~60%, so the bedding should be spread out and ventilated frequently, and it is best to dry it in the sun.
Besides, a good sleep in winter doesn't just come from keeping warm. When sleeping, tuck in the quilt to prevent air leakage, don't expose your limbs and sleep with your head covered. At the same time, your pajamas should not be too thick. You can choose a bigger quilt. If a single quilt is not warm enough, you can spread a thin blanket outside.
How to keep warm
Don't put your frozen hands next to the heater.
Tong Shunkui, chief physician of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Kunming Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that these diseases are prone to occur in the slight cold season:
Glaucoma: It is a blinding eye disease, which mostly occurs in the coldest month of winter. Its symptoms are eye pain, eye swelling, decreased vision, accompanied by headache, nausea and other symptoms.
Cold hands and feet, frostbite: because nerve endings are far away from the heart, blood vessels contract and blood supply is insufficient in cold weather, resulting in cold hands and feet. Some people put their frozen hands and feet next to the heater or in hot water as soon as they enter the room. In fact, this is very unfavorable to the skin care of hands and feet, and it is easy to get frostbite in the future.
Arthritis: A knee with arthritis is like a weather station. Knees will know when it gets cold. Arthritis is mostly tissues with few blood vessels such as tendons and ligaments. The blood supply is relatively insufficient, and the limbs are often exposed, which makes it easier to dissipate heat and make the joints stiff and painful. Our reporter Wang Jinsong.
