Adjustment of staying up late in Wu Qingzhong The common sleep problem of the elderly is the habit of staying up late. This is a bad habit formed during work. After retirement, although I no longer need to stay up late, I have not paid special attention to the adjustment of the habit of staying up late, so I will continue to stay up late. Because going to bed early is a necessary condition for good hematopoiesis, going to bed late will make the efficiency of hematopoiesis worse, the aging speed faster, and the self-healing activities of the body cannot be carried out smoothly because of insufficient energy supply. Although there is no self-healing activity, the improvement reaction will be less, and there seems to be no discomfort. However, with the rapid decline of energy, blood pressure and blood sugar are prone to abnormalities, and they really enter the "minor illness, no serious illness; Never get sick. Once you get sick, you will die. Only in this era, serious illness is not easy to die, but it will fall into the predicament of long-term chronic diseases. If you go to bed early, you'd better go to bed before ten. Of course, you can go to bed early, and the hematopoietic effect will be better. If people who sleep late, such as after twelve o'clock, the first step to improve is to adjust to sleep before twelve o'clock; Wait until you can fall asleep stably before twelve o'clock, and then move forward to eleven o'clock; Adjust it to ten o'clock or earlier. That is, step by step implementation and gradual adjustment. People who usually go to bed early have better sleep quality and longer sleep time. The main reason is that people who go to bed early are not angry, sleep well and sleep naturally for a long time. On the contrary, staying up late is easy to cause liver fire, which will lead to poor sleep quality, easy to sleep lightly and dream more, and naturally shorter sleep time. Going to bed early and going to bed late have a great influence on health. As long as you go to bed early for a month, your body can experience obvious changes. It is suggested that everyone who retires should first adjust their sleep in advance. However, after sleep adjustment, qi and blood will rise rapidly and the body will start the self-healing mechanism. In the past, due to staying up late, the qi and blood were low, and the body left many unrepaired injuries. After qi and blood rise and self-healing begins, these shelved injuries will be cleaned up and repaired one by one. Repair will produce various symptoms. At this time, it is suggested that I take out several books I have published and read them well to understand the true meaning of each symptom and have a deeper understanding of the body's self-healing activities.

At this time, it is suggested that I take out several books I have published and read them well to understand the true meaning of each symptom and have a deeper understanding of the body's self-healing activities. This is what I explained in my second book, Human Rehabilitation Project, and I will briefly say it again here. When we were young, we got up at six in the morning and didn't get sleepy until after twelve noon. When I get up, I am in good spirits. When you are tired at noon, what you lack is "qi". At that time, Qi's duration was about six to seven hours. With the growth of age, the energy of qi and blood decreases, and the length of qi is gradually shortened-three to four hours in middle age, two to three hours in old age, and about two hours of serious illness. Many people have an experience at work. They are suddenly sleepy at 10 or 1 1 in the morning, but they are in a meeting and are not allowed to sleep. At this time, as long as they persist for another ten minutes or so, their spirit will come again. The energy used at this time is what Chinese medicine calls liver fire, which is the energy that the body opens the door to overdraft and overdraws from liver blood. After a few hours, the energy is insufficient, people want to sleep again, continue to support, and then overdraw more anger. During the day, people continue to overdraw their anger, but at night, people are too tired to sleep. At this time, they have entered an overdraft state, and their anger is wide open, making it difficult for them to fall asleep. Old people should understand this truth, find a morning after getting up, do nothing, relax, and then observe when they feel tired for the first time, record the time and calculate the time from getting up to being tired. This is the length of their own qi, which is accumulated after a night's rest, and it is also the length of qi that the total blood can carry at present. Blood is the container of qi. The more blood, the more gas it can carry and the longer it lasts. After knowing the length of your anger, plan your daily activities according to this length. If the duration of gas is three hours, then every three hours, when the gas runs out, lie down and rest, or take a nap for half an hour to replenish gas, so as to avoid the body from overdrawing. Don't start to overdraw during the day, it will be more stable to sleep at night. Regarding the control of three hours, it must be taken into account that people are not machines. If you stop, you can stop at once. Keep it for at least half an hour for three hours and let your body stop slowly. As for activities that need more than three hours, it may not be suitable to participate. A friend is over 80 years old and attends a religious course. Each class lasts four to eight hours. After class, she will lose sleep for two or three days, and the whole sleep will take a week or two to be normal. I suggest that every time she attends this course, it is best to control it for one hour, keep the traffic time before and after, and then go home to rest without affecting her sleep at night. This is the common sense you need to know when holding activities for the elderly. Try to avoid a few hours of class. Most elderly people don't have the "gas" to go to class for that long. Some insomniacs are worried that they can't sleep at night and dare not close their eyes during the day. This is not right. People with insomnia have the habit of getting up early and going to bed late. They often get up at five or six in the morning and go to bed at midnight. They haven't slept for 18 hours. When they go to bed, they are very angry and it is difficult for them to fall asleep. In this case, it is recommended to rest or take a nap when you are tired, and take a nap for no more than 30 minutes at a time, so that you will sleep much better at night. Some old people often sit in front of the TV and take a nap while watching TV. I don't know how many naps they took at the end of the day. Most of these elderly people can fall asleep as soon as it gets dark, and there is no problem of insomnia at all. Taking a nap during the day doesn't affect his sleep at night at all. Sleep disorder caused by kidney deficiency is closely related to qi and blood, and is in direct proportion. The elderly are generally deficient in qi and blood, and the kidney qi is naturally low. Especially for people with poor sleep, it is easy to form kidney deficiency if the nutritional intake of diet is insufficient. Kidney deficiency is easy to cause liver fire and heart fire that overdraw qi and blood, thus forming sleep disorder. In this case, sleep can be improved together as long as the causes of kidney deficiency are improved. Traditional Chinese medicine divides kidney deficiency into "kidney yang deficiency" and "kidney yin deficiency" Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the difference between yin and yang in energy is that the energy with matter is yin and the energy without matter is yang, and the combination of them is nourishing yin and tonifying yang. Qi, blood, yin and yang are the same, as are kidney-qi, yin and yang. When most elderly people can't sleep well, the easily absorbed kidney meridian or protein can improve their sleep. * * * Kidney meridian can promote invisible energy, which is for aphrodisiac; Supplementing protein is easy to absorb and can promote tangible energy substances, which is nourishing yin. In addition, "blood" and "qi" are two concepts of human energy, "blood" is material energy, and nourishing yin can also be regarded as enriching blood; "Qi" is energy without substance, and supplementing Yang Can can also be regarded as invigorating qi. Some elderly people eat too lightly and even like vegetarianism. There is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, but you must know more about the nutrition of food, especially protein and colloid, which are needed in the process of hematopoiesis. These two nutrients are relatively lacking in vegetarian materials. I often suggest that the elderly should eat the cream of suckled eggs, from which it is easier to get the protein and colloid needed by the human body. Especially for the elderly with insomnia, adequate and reasonable nutritional supplement is often an effective way to improve sleep.
