Whether you’re inexplicable headaches, exhausted Fatigue, or despair and sadness, will be greatly relieved after a good night’s sleep.
If you get a lot of good sleep in a row, your physique will definitely be greatly improved.
What is the definition of a good sleep? It is to go to bed early and get up early, sleep until you wake up naturally, and have no dreams all night.
The premise of all this is to go to bed early.
but how many people will be there sooner sleep? You look out of the window at 12 o’clock in the evening, and there are still thousands of lightsfire.
I used to be one of the lights in this house, but later, I silently put out this light at night. lamp. Because I found that I love the brightness of the day more than the freedom of the night.
reluctant to sleep , what did I gain by staying up late?
Everyone has their own reasons for staying up late. My reason for staying up late is also very simple, that is, after the child is asleep, I have time to find that little bit of freedom and self.
It’s like a numb engine during the day, I don’t know who I am, I only know that I come from the kitchen , to go to the bathroom.
And after the child sleeps, the real self finally wakes up.
I can’t eat properly with my child, the child falls asleep, and I have a late-night snack. Usually, I can’t keep looking at my mobile phone with my children. When the child falls asleep, the videos are swiped, and the movies and TV series are chasing.
What a beautiful moment when the child sleeps, how can I be willing to sleep?
I learned Chinese medicine In the future, I know that if I do this, my body will collapse sooner or later. In fact, my body is already a little broken…
The most obvious, my eyes are not Very good, it is often dry, sometimes a little itchy, and is particularly photophobic when it comes to places with strong light, and even a little can’t open my eyes. (Insufficiency of liver blood)
Secondly, I am especially prone to get angry I don’t dare to eat spicy roasted seeds and nuts. I will get angry when I eat it. In the worst case, I will get angry after eating a few nuts. I will have a rotten nose or a rotten mouth all winter. (deficiency of yin, lack of body fluid)
Again, I can feel Deficiency, no energy, when I am a little tired, I feel that I can’t lift my feet when I walk. I can lie down for several hours when I lie down. In the worst case, I can’t breathe when I climb a mountain. The standard chest tightness and shortness of breath. (Deficiency of Qi, Insufficiency of Kidney Qi)
I stayed up all night and got a pair of A body with yin deficiency, qi deficiency, and insufficient liver blood.
< strong>How does sleep repair the body?
According to the running time of the human body’s meridians, 21:00 pm to 23:00 pm is the time when the Sanjiao meridian runs, the so-called “Sanjiao meridian connects all the meridians”, So sleeping at this time is almost conditioning the body’s various sub-types. The best time to be healthy.
From 23:00 pm to 1:00 am is the time when the gallbladder meridian runs. The function of the gallbladder meridian is to promote food Digestion and absorption, can promote the hematopoiesis of the liver. If you don’t sleep at this time, the food will not be digested and absorbed well, and the body may be phlegm-damp, too thin, or too fat, and it may also cause qi and blood disorders.
And 1 am to 3 am is the time when the liver meridian runs. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says: “When a person lies down, blood will return toliver. The liver nourishes our blood.”
If you don’t sleep at this point, then The liver cannot return blood, poisonous blood cannot be excreted, and fresh blood cannot be produced.The so-called “disorder of qi and blood will cause all kinds of diseases.” Imbalance and cause disease.
The effect of staying up late is not only that what should be repaired cannot be repaired, The body also needs to mobilize our precious kidney essence to maintain our various activities, and once the kidney essence is depleted, it is difficult to replenish.
The bumpy road to bed early
After understanding these truths, I keep working towards my goal every day.
In the process of perseverance, I found that the hardest thing about going to bed early is not that you can’t fall asleep, but that you don’t want to sleep at all.
< p>
When I let go of the idea of staying up late and told myself to have a good morning sleep. I feel like I almost succeeded half.
There are also some nemesis for early sleep:
1, overeating at night.Traditional Chinese medicine says “if the stomach is not in harmony, then you will be restless”, if we eat at night Eating too much will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and the body will Qi and blood must be mobilized to digest food. Going to bed after eating too much can make it easy to toss and turn in bed and not fall asleep.
2, play phone an hour before bed . It’s hard not to play, but it does work if you don’t. If we watch a very sad movie or a very inspirational variety show before going to bed, then we may still be in a certain mood when we sleep, it is difficult to calm our mind, and naturally we will not be able to fall asleep.
3, too excited before bed strong>, many people think that doing a lot of exercise before going to bed can make the body too tired to sleep well. However, this may also increase the yang energy of the human body, and the power of the body to open is stronger than the power of convergence, resulting in inability to sleep, or a lot of dreams after sleeping, and the body cannot really relax. In addition, playing games, karaoke songs, quarreling at night, these things that excite the brain can easily affect sleep.
I have invented a way to help my body fall asleep quickly When things happen, I deliberately do the emptying action in my mind, forcibly emptying it. This method works very well for me personally, much more than counting sheep. A lot of times, before you know it, it arrives the next morning.
There are also some effective ways to help early sleep, such as rubbing your feet before going to bed, or Do 1000 leg lifts. These are all ways to help the mind to be quiet. Once the mind is quiet, it will be easier to fall asleep. Meditating before going to bed is also a good way to help sleep. It is said that you can sleep in seconds ( Meditation related articles: 《Meditation, a conversation with yourself).
Also, be persistent. If you stay up late one day, you must get up early the next day, even if you are a little tired, it will not affect your early going to bed that day. If you stay up late and lie down until noon before getting up, you will not be able to sleep at night, and you will enter a vicious circle of biological clocks.
As long as you go to bed early and get up early for a month (maybe a week), people will automatically enter this cycle mode. Now I am so sleepy every night after 9 o’clock that I can fall asleep.
What do I gain by going to bed early?
After I insisted on going to bed early for more than a year, I found that my physique has indeed improved a lot.
Early sleep to nourish yin, so the most obvious thing for me is the improvement of yin deficiency. NowI’m thirsty for something spicy, but I don’t get angry. All winter last year, I didn’t have a rotten mouth or nose. Compared with the past, it has changed a lot.
In the past, when summer came, it was the hardest day for me. When I turned on the air conditioner, I couldn’t do it. Sometimes dry nose bleeds, sore throat. If I don’t turn on the air conditioner, my whole face is as red as Guan Gong, my whole body is sweating like rain, and I am very empty.
But this summer, with a high temperature of more than 35 degrees, I was able to keep the air conditioner off for a long time. , and I didn’t feel too sad, and my face didn’t turn red. If you drink more water, your body will produce some fine sweat. But this feeling of sweating is not false at all, it is a kind of metabolism to remove cold and dampness, which is different from the previous sweating. It feels very different.
Early bedtime also improved my yang Qi, strengthened my resistance. The most direct manifestation is that I haven’t been to the hospital for a long time. The last time I caught a cold was when I went out to play in January this year, and it healed by itself in 3 days.
There is still some qi deficiency, and a little tired will make you feel weak, especially in summer. But this also suffices to show that the kidney essence is aOnce consumed too much, it is difficult to fill. But I think if I continue to persevere, my physique will be greatly improved as well.
span>In order to make myself go to bed early, I did miss a lot of good-looking TV series, such as “Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes”, “Stars and Han Splendid”, “Babel Tower”, “Wife’s Choice” and other popular dramas, I have not watched them all. I have also uninstalled all kinds of video software from my phone.
But I also gained something that TV shows can’t give me.
For example, at 7:00 every morning, I can get out of bed lightly, no longer groggy; pullopen the curtains, I can greet the first ray of sunshine in the morning with full energy, no longer depressed; span> Turning my head, I can give the child a gentle, energetic smile.
Compared to staying up late to watch TV shows and videos, this is what I want, a more beautiful and enthusiastic day.
