There are many superstitious activities in life now, such as: witches, fortune-telling, watching Feng Shui, measuring the horoscope and so on.

People sleep three times, and life is thinner than paper. This folk proverb is remembered by many young people. They think this sentence is scientific and reasonable. We can't believe it. After all, sleep is a big deal in life. Everyone has to sleep every day. If you don't sleep, it can endanger your health and affect your longevity.

According to statistics, nearly 90 diseases worldwide are closely related to long-term insomnia.

Poor sleep habits can cause 1/3 of high blood pressure.

20% of heart disease is caused by insomnia.

It can reduce concentration and memory and accelerate aging.

It can be seen that in order to live a long and healthy life, we must have a good night's sleep. But now many people have mild or severe insomnia. In China, the proportion of sleep disorders is as high as 38.2%, which is 27% higher than the world.

From the overall perspective of TCM health preservation, sleep is a physiological adaptation of people to natural rhythms. Sleep is a strict rhythm that people adapt to their natural physiological needs.

Within a day, the yin and yang of heaven and earth regularly rise and fall, forming the characteristics of strong yang energy during the day and hidden yang energy at night; similarly, the human body also conforms to nature, forming a physiological rhythm of being awake during the day, fainting at night and even sleeping.

Therefore, in the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine Lingshu", it is said: in the middle of the night when the yang qi is exhausted and the yin qi is abundant, the eyes are closed; in the daytime, the yin qi is exhausted and the yang qi is strong.

Why do people sleep? Scientists have further answers.

People sleep every day. On average, a person spends a third of their life sleeping. If people don't sleep, they spend an extra eight hours a day doing other things, like studying, working, or playing. Why do people have to sleep when not sleeping saves so much time?

To find some special people, scientists divide them into different groups to conduct experiments. One group slept only 3 hours, one group slept 5 hours, one group slept 7 hours, and one group slept 9 hours.

People who slept 9 hours looked energized, people who slept 5 or 7 hours looked a little bad, and people who slept only 3 hours looked terrible.

If you don't sleep, your brain's ability to work every day will be reduced by 25%. If you ask a person who sleeps well, his brain is very active; but a person who is sleep deprived has much less brain activity.

Therefore, sleep is a very important thing for our minds and it will pay the next day.

As the saying goes: people sleep three times, life is thinner than paper, what does it mean? Not superstitious, it is recommended to understand.

"suffocated"

Literally, this could mean a stuffy head while sleeping. Come to think of it, maybe a lot of people have this bad habit, especially in cold weather.

In the cold winter, when I go to bed at night, my head is out and it is very cold. Therefore, some people like to drill into the bed to warm up and sleep comfortably, but they don't know that this way of sleeping is quite bad for the human body.

The whole person shrunk to the bed, the head and body are very warm, but people stay in a closed space for a long time, the exhaled carbon dioxide cannot be discharged, the oxygen content in the bed is not enough, it is easy to cause hypoxia, damage the body, and make the brain hypoxia.

"After dinner"

As the saying goes: take a walk after a meal and live to ninety-nine. Do not lie down or lie down on the sofa immediately after a meal, as it is not conducive to digestion. In the long run, it can lead to digestive problems and even gastrointestinal problems.

Proper exercise not only helps digestion, but also allows the body to absorb more nutrients. After a meal, do some aerobic exercise, such as walking, leg pressing, etc., can make the digestive system better.

On the contrary, if you are full and full every day, not only is it not in line with the way of maintaining health, but it will also allow diseases to come to the door, so the most taboo is to feel after meals. The reason is that when the stomach fills up with food, it causes the blood to flow and then feel sleepy.

In short, sleep after a meal not only affects digestion, but also affects sleep quality. I advise you not to overeat with every meal, as sleeping after a meal can also lead to body and skin problems that are not tolerated by women.

"Smell"

Modern people are under a lot of stress, and so do many when they sleep. They fall asleep with anger and anxiety. However, it is plausible that the so-called anger hurts the body. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the operation of Qi is closely related to the health of internal organs, and also affects sleep.

Take the liver as an example. If you often sleep with a bad mood, it will affect the normal operation of liver qi, resulting in stagnation of liver qi and stagnation of liver blood.

Even if you fall asleep, you can easily get up early in the middle of the night, have a lot of dreams, and your sleep quality will decline. Poor blood flow. In the long run, it affects not only the liver, but also the spleen, stomach, and kidneys, which has many effects on general health.
