How to treat severe difficulty falling asleep?

If people want to be full of energy during the day, sleep the night before is definitely very important. Some people say that a person must sleep eight hours a day, but the latest research results show that some people do not need to sleep so long. This has a lot to do with personal physique and genes. However, severe lack of sleep will harm the body of anyone. So, how to treat severe difficulty falling asleep?

1. Go to bed on time, and make sure to go to bed at 11 o'clock at night to protect your liver and gallbladder. The gallbladder meridian opens at 11 o'clock in the evening. If you can't sleep at this time, it will damage your gallbladder qi and reduce the functions of your internal organs throughout your body. If you don’t sleep well between 1am and 3am, your liver’s detoxification function will decrease and your face will appear blue. What to do if you have trouble falling asleep? To cure insomnia, you need to nourish your liver, and only good sleep can keep your liver healthy. “When a person lies down, blood returns to the liver.” The blood flow entering the liver during sleep is 7 times that of when standing. The increase in blood flow through the liver helps to enhance liver cell function and improve detoxification capacity.

2. Start to calm down at 9 o'clock in the evening. The body will clear out the hormones that make people excited during the day from the blood, which is conducive to restoring a quiet state.

3. Some people with weak spleen and stomach must pay attention to dinner to solve the problem of difficulty falling asleep. For dinner, you should follow the "77" principle, that is, try to eat before 7 o'clock, and it's best to be 70% full; the dishes should be light, and eat less bloating foods such as beans, green peppers, and pumpkin, as well as spicy and cold foods that irritate the stomach and intestines, such as chili peppers, garlic, and raw onions. What to do if you have difficulty falling asleep? For people with weak spleen, such as pale complexion, weak limbs, and lack of energy, use Sijunzi Decoction and Shenling Baizhu Powder. For people with spleen and stomach stagnation, such as abdominal distension and constipation, use Jianpi Xiaoji Oral Liquid and Baohe Pills. For people with insufficient stomach yin, such as dry mouth and loss of appetite, use Yiwei Decoction. You can eat more spleen-strengthening foods, such as yam, coix seed, etc.

4. Solve liver problems. For symptoms affected by emotions such as tension, anger, frequent dreams, light sleep, and easy awakening, Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills and Jieyu Anshen Granules can help soothe the liver and relieve depression, and improve sleep.

5. Solve the problems of the heart. In addition to practicing static exercises and cultivating one's body and mind, you can also choose different Chinese patent medicines for treatment according to different situations. For example, "Cinnabar Anshen Pills" are used to treat restlessness, anxiety, and fidgeting.
