First, bedtime activities
You can do some simple exercises in bed before going to bed to relax your body, which is also good for your physical and mental health! First, lie on the bed, lift your legs and massage from top to bottom. Don't put your legs up, or lie on the wall in an L shape. This action can help to slim down the calf fat. Then lie flat with your legs suspended in the air at 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 30 degrees respectively, and stay at each angle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or the limit you can insist on. This action can shape the muscles of the thigh. You can also lie prone on the bed, with your legs clamped on your chest, your chest attached to the root of your thigh, your hands stretched out beside your ears, and your elbows above your palms attached to the bed. This action can help to eliminate stool.
Second, five fingers into a comb, leaving hair.
As we know, the head concentrates on several important big acupuncture points in the human body, which can play a massage role through the stimulation in the process of combing. First, comb your hair with a comb, starting from your forehead and combing from top to bottom, with moderate intensity. Then gently massage the scalp with your fingers, comb your fingers from the ear roots, neck hair roots and forehead hair roots to the top of your head, and then rub your head. Repeat this for more than 30 times until you feel numb. This action can help dredge the blood in the brain and make the brain get enough oxygen. Thereby achieving the effects of improving memory, protecting hair roots, consolidating hair follicles and eliminating brain fatigue.
Third, soak your feet with hot water to promote qi and blood circulation.
The foot is the farthest part from the human heart, so it is not easy to get oxygen and blood. In addition, it is winter, and it is easier to be stimulated by cold to blood vessels, which leads to vasoconstriction and difficulty in blood supply. However, the foot is another concentrated area of human acupuncture points. If the blood supply is insufficient, it will affect the normal operation of many parts such as liver and kidney. Therefore, soaking feet with warm blisters before going to bed is conducive to promoting blood circulation and accelerating metabolism. In particular, Chinese herbal medicines can be added to the water for soaking feet, because there are many channels on the feet, which can absorb the pharmaceutical ingredients in the water well. If you want to relieve the cold pain in your waist and legs by soaking your feet, you can add Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong; If you want to relieve dizziness, you can add Chrysanthemum and Prunella vulgaris. If you want to get rid of dryness and athlete's foot, add wormwood and the like.
Fourth, brush your teeth before going to bed.
Brushing your teeth before going to bed is more important than brushing your teeth in the morning. It can not only remove oral deposits, but also help protect your teeth and sleep peacefully. After watching TV, wash your face and wipe your body to protect your skin and make your sleep comfortable and relaxed.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) walk
Walking leisurely 10-20 minutes will make blood circulate to the body surface, and the skin will "live" after sleeping. After lying down, you don't read books and newspapers, and you don't think about problems, which reduces brain activity and makes you fall asleep faster.
Drink a glass of milk with honey.
According to foreign medical experts, milk contains l- tryptophan which can promote sleep. Drinking a cup of milk with honey before going to bed 1 hour can help you sleep. Honey helps to keep blood sugar balanced all night, thus avoiding waking up early.
Seven, window ventilation
Keep the air in the bedroom fresh. When it is windy or cold, you can open it for a while and close it before going to bed to help you sleep soundly. But be careful not to sleep with your head covered.
