What does Traditional Chinese Medicine say is the cause of difficulty falling asleep?

Difficulty falling asleep is a very torturous thing for a person, so we should pay attention to correctly understanding the reasons. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, excessive heart fire or rising false fire, as well as disharmony between the spleen and stomach, can easily cause difficulty falling asleep, so we must pay attention to conditioning.

(1) Excessive heart fire

After the stimulation of great joy and happiness, the whole person's heart or heart fire was extremely excited. Lying on the bed, his mind was full of thoughts, his mood could not calm down, and he could not sleep all night.

(2) Rising internal heat

This is what we often call "false excitement". The heart fire is too strong, which is real fire and belongs to "real excitement". The second cause of the disease is false fire, and its manifestation is that you feel upset and can't sleep when lying in bed, and you don't want to do anything when you get up; or the palms and soles of your hands and feet are hot, and your tongue is red without any coating.

(3) Disharmony between the spleen and stomach

Many people eat dinner too late and eat too much, or even have a midnight snack. Afterwards they toss and turn like a pancake, feeling stuffy and bloated in their stomachs. As the saying goes, "If the stomach is not in harmony, you will not be able to sleep well." This is exactly the case.

(4) The liver does not store blood

It is often because you eat something spicy at night, or drink some alcohol but don't get drunk, and your liver is irritated, causing you to be unable to sleep.
