New Year's Day Healthy People spend most of their lives in sleep, and good sleep quality plays an extremely important role in maintaining good health. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, sleep is not only related to an individual's living habits, but also closely related to the function of the human body's internal organs, the regulation of essence, qi and spirit. In this article, we'll introduce you to the health effects of how long you sleep at night, and share some TCM health regimen tips for falling asleep quickly.
Sleep is an important way for the body to rest and regain energy, and maintaining good sleep habits is essential for prolonging life. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the body's biological clock corresponds to the five elements, and the function of the internal organs will be active or resting at different times. Between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. is the time when the liver is most active, and the quality of sleep affects the liver's repair and detoxification functions. Therefore, ensuring a good night's sleep between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. can help promote liver health.
In addition to the fact that 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. is an important time to sleep, there are also differences in the amount of sleep required by each person. While there are enviable examples of "sleep less, live longer", most people still need to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Short sleep hours mean that the body does not recover adequately and the function of various organs in the body is affected, thus increasing the risk of disease. Therefore, good sleep habits are essential to maintain a healthy and long life.
So, how do you fall asleep quickly?TCM health care offers some ways to help us fall asleep better.
First, adjust your work and rest time. Maintaining a relatively regular daily routine, including the time to go to bed at night and wake up in the morning, can help adjust the body clock and allow the body to fall asleep at a regular pace.
Second, relax and unwind. Before falling asleep, you can do some relaxing activities, such as soaking your feet, taking deep breaths, listening to light **, etc., to reduce psychological stress and physical fatigue and prepare you for sleep.
Third, keep the air fresh. The quality of the sleeping environment also has a certain impact on falling asleep. Keeping the room ventilated and keeping the air fresh can help improve the quality of sleep.
Fourth, exercise moderately. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, deplete the body's excess energy, and help make the body relax and fall asleep more easily. But pay attention to the timing of exercise and avoid strenuous exercise at night so as not to stimulate the body and fail to calm down.
In conclusion, how much you sleep at night is closely related to human health and longevity. Maintaining good sleep habits, establishing a regular sleep schedule, and adjusting your lifestyle play an important role in promoting the body's repair and recovery. I hope that everyone can improve the quality of sleep and enjoy a healthier and longer life through TCM health preservation methods.
