However, although the quilt in winter is charming and bedridden is common, the routine of work and rest is still an indispensable part of a healthy life. Getting up at a fixed time every day is not only conducive to cultivating a perfect biological clock, but also has a certain maintenance effect on our cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Then, what time should I get up at a fixed time every day, which is the more appropriate state?
What time is the healthiest to get up every day? See if you get up at the right time.
In fact, as far as modern medical research is concerned, the healthiest time to get up is not fixed.
For example, it was recently published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine. "Science in sports", a study by the University of Oulu, Finland, shows that the wake-up time set by the biological clock is actually only related to people's work and rest conditions and environment, such as the activities of the day, lighting, sleep time and so on. This may change the quality of your sleep.
In other words, the purpose of getting up is to get a better sleep quality, which is more related to the time of falling asleep and the sleeping environment. To put it more simply, "the earlier you go to bed, the earlier you wake up, the later you go to bed, the later you wake up." For example, compared with people at 9: 00 every night and at 1 1 every night, according to the healthy sleep time of 7 to 8 hours, the time to get up naturally is also different.
Maybe many friends will be disappointed: after talking for a long time, didn't you say the specific time to get up? Don't worry, although there is no clear definition of the time to get up in modern medicine, Chinese medicine has a unique research in this respect.
The picture shows the research paper of Oulu University in Finland.
The so-called "best time to get up" depends on what Chinese medicine says.
In fact, the concept of sleep in Chinese medicine is slightly different from that in modern medicine. Chinese medicine believes that people's sleep is actually a process of "converging Yang". When the sun be the spirit converges and the body functions normally, it is time to wake up.
Sleep time is divided according to the 24 solar terms of TCM, such as beginning of spring at 3 o'clock, rain at 4 o'clock, fright at 5 o'clock, vernal equinox at 6 o'clock, Qingming at 7 o'clock and Grain Rain at 8 o'clock. Among them, the so-called "fright", that is, the time when all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants are active on land, indicates the beginning of a day and marks the end of the activity of gathering yang. The period from 7: 00 in Tomb-Sweeping Day to 8: 00 in Grain Rain is the end of Juyang.
So, the answer is obvious. Chinese medicine believes that the time to get up belongs to the "Heyang" behavior, which should be based on the outcome of Heyang, that is, between 5 am and 7 am. When you get up at this time, the yang will completely converge, your body's qi and blood will be smoother, and your health care effect will be better.
To sum up, although different people have different biological clocks and there is no clear regulation on the time of getting up, human beings are one of the most living things, and it is beneficial for the body to gather and perceive the changes of yang between heaven and earth. Therefore, friends who love health care can get up between 5: 00 and 7: 00 every day, which is relatively suitable. According to the theory of healthy sleep of 7 to 8 hours. If there are no special circumstances and reasons, falling asleep between 10- 1 1 every night and waking up between 5-7 am the next day may be the "best sleep time" we are looking for.
I believe that this time of going to bed and getting up is really cruel to you "school children" or "office workers" in winter, but keeping this habit of going to bed early and getting up early for a long time is actually good for our health, especially for three unexpected benefits.
Get into the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, or you can reap two unexpected benefits.
Benefits 1: reduce the risk of depression.
Under the background of modern society, because of the fast-paced life tide, many people will bear a lot of negative emotions and pressures in their daily lives, and because of this, the risk and probability of inducing modern depression will increase accordingly.
A major premise of depression is long-term anxiety and negative emotions. According to research, insomnia is one of the main sources of anxiety. Going to bed early and getting up early means that you have a regular schedule and get enough sleep. Anxiety will not accumulate, and the risk of depression will be reduced.
Benefit 2: It can help to lose weight.
In daily life, the human body will secrete hormones by itself to maintain endocrine balance. The important link to maintain endocrine balance is the self-healing system that the human body turns on during sleep.
In other words, if you don't have the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, have irregular work and rest, and often stay up late, the running time of the self-healing system will be shortened, endocrine disorders will make the hormone level more likely to exceed the standard, and too much hormone will induce obesity and edema, especially for friends who are losing weight. Going to bed early and getting up early is also a means to control weight and maintain a healthy balance.
In short, the time to get up needs to be set according to your own life trajectory, and the time that suits you best is the best. Secondly, if your daily routine is normal and there are no forced accidents, you can also try the "best sleep time" advocated by Chinese medicine, and you can also gain a lot by insisting on going to bed early and getting up early for a while.
