Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes sleeping with windows closed at night

Sleep is very important for human health. If you have sleep disorders for a long time, you will be in a sleepy state for a long time. Not only will you suffer from insomnia and headaches at night, but you will also feel weak during the day, have no energy at work, always feel sick, and lack vitality. When you can’t sleep at night, you can drink a glass of milk before going to bed. Milk has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep! It is best to soak your feet before going to bed, which is good for your health.

As the saying goes, "Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as sleep." After all, sleep is a good medicine for kidney health! People consume a lot of energy in labor, work, and study, which needs to be compensated not only by diet but also by sleep. The ancients had a saying that "taking a hundred tonics is not as good as sleeping alone", which means that a good night's sleep is worse than taking tonics.

If a person does not get enough sleep or has poor sleep quality, he or she will often feel listless, distracted, have headaches, dizziness, muscle aches, and even fatigue. If a person lacks sleep for a long time and is in a state of excessive fatigue, the body will produce pathological changes that consume qi and damage blood, damaging the five internal organs. If the heart is overworked, the blood will be damaged; if the liver is overworked, the spirit will be damaged; if the spleen is overworked, the food will be damaged; if the lungs are overworked, the qi will be damaged; if the kidneys are overworked, the essence will be damaged, which will lay the root cause for many diseases.

If you don't go to bed before midnight (equivalent to 11pm - 1am the next morning) every day, many old doctors will say to you when they see you: "I won't treat you anymore." In fact, it's not that they won't treat you, but that they can't cure you.

People who stay up late for a long time, regardless of gender, will directly damage their liver and, over time, their kidneys, gradually causing a deficiency of both qi and blood in the body. When they look in the mirror every day, they will feel that their face is gray. At this time, even if you take nutritional supplements and exercise every day, you cannot reverse the damage caused by lack of sleep or poor sleep.

Therefore, it’s okay to get up early, but it’s definitely not okay to go to bed late. Many people who are listless have the habit of going to bed late, which can easily damage the liver, essence and gallbladder. Such people often have poor eyesight, are often depressed, and are rarely happy (the lung qi is also affected, because it cannot be effectively released for a long time).

Some people think that if they go to bed late at night, they can make up for it during the day. In fact, it is impossible to make up for it. Either they can’t sleep or they don’t get enough sleep. Even if they feel that they have made up for it, their body’s qi and blood have actually been mostly damaged.

1. Two sleeping positions have miraculous effects on kidney tonification 1. Yang-resting position

When practicing, first master the Huan Yang Wo Gong, which can be practiced before going to bed every night. Lie naturally on your back, relax your hip joints, bend your legs, pull your calves inward, place the soles of your feet together, and your heels facing the perineum. Place your palms on your lower abdomen with your palms facing the abdomen. After assuming the correct position, Hui closed her eyes, silently recited the word "xu" in her mind, inhaled through her nose, imagined the air gathering in her lower abdomen and then rolling to her lower back; exhaled through her mouth, imagined the evil spirits in her body being expelled from her body with the exhaled air. Practice for half an hour every night before bed.

2 Hunyuan Wo

After practicing Huanyang Wo for one month, the next higher level practice is Hunyuan Wo. The posture is still lying on your back, with the soles of your feet facing each other, and the fingers of your hands crossed and placed on the Baihui point on the top of your head. By practicing Huanyang Wo and Hunyuan Wo, you can quickly replenish your Yang Energy!

2. Sleeping precautions 1. Sleeping direction

When sleeping, your head should be to the north and your feet to the south. The human body is affected by the earth's magnetic field at all times and places, and the brain is also disturbed by the magnetic field during sleep. When people sleep, they should sleep with their head to the north and their feet to the south, so that the magnetic lines of force can pass through the body smoothly and minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field.

2Sleeping Position

Sleeping like a bow is better, while lying on the right side is less burdensome. Since the human heart is mostly on the left side of the body, lying on the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart. At the same time, avoid putting your hands near the heart to avoid waking up due to nightmares.

3. Sleep time

Regarding sleep in all four seasons, you should “go to bed late and get up early” in spring and summer, “go to bed early and get up early” in autumn, and “go to bed early and get up late” in winter. It is best to get up before sunrise, not too late. The normal sleep time of a normal person is generally about 8 hours a day, and the weak and sick people should increase their sleep time appropriately.
