What are the taboos for sleeping in summer?
contraindications to sleeping in summer
1. Avoid sleeping naked
Many friends choose to sleep naked in summer. Experts believe that when sleeping naked, the abdomen and chest of human body will be exposed to the air, but in fact, the temperatures of these two parts are almost constant, which will make the abdomen and chest catch cold, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain and chest diseases.
2. Avoid wiping mats with cold water
In summer, many old people will wipe mats with cold water, which can make them colder and more comfortable when sleeping. However, Chinese medicine reminds that people are prone to sweating in summer, and if they sleep on mats with moisture again, they will make mats a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria, which will cause physical discomfort.
3. Don't turn on the air conditioner too low when sleeping
With the improvement of living standards, many friends turn on the air conditioner before going to bed, but it is not advisable to turn the air conditioner temperature too low when sleeping, because when the human body is asleep, the blood circulation will slow down, and its own resistance will also drop at this time. If the air conditioner in the room is turned on too low, it will catch a cold and catch a cold.
The above are the three taboos about sleeping in summer, but a friend said that it is easy to lose sleep in summer, so how should I recuperate at this time? We will continue to look down together.
insomnia conditioning methods
1. Adjust the mentality
Although the weather in summer is rather boring, it is easy to make people feel fidgety and uneasy, thus aggravating the symptoms of insomnia, in fact, the mentality is also very important for conditioning insomnia. Modern people's life pressure is relatively large. If these pressures are not discharged in time, they will indirectly cause insomnia. If you suffer from insomnia for a long time in summer, it is better to decompress yourself first.
2, drug conditioning
There are many traditional Chinese medicines that can recuperate insomnia. Lily, Albizia Albizia flower and other medicinal materials have the functions of calming the nerves and helping sleep. But I want to remind you that if you want to use drugs to recuperate insomnia, you must use them under the guidance of a doctor. Only by treating according to syndrome differentiation and prescribing the right medicine can you get the best effect of drug conditioning.
3, Chinese medicine conditioning
For insomnia, Chinese medicine also has many methods that can play a role in conditioning. Generally speaking, insomnia in summer is transient and temporary. At this time, you can turn to Chinese medicine for help, and use Chinese medicine therapies such as massage and acupuncture to help you fall asleep. In addition, Chinese medicine practitioners also recommend that you soak your feet more before going to bed. This sleep-helping method can play a role in health care.
Precautions
1. Sleep late and get up early
Summer is characterized by long days and short nights, and people sleep late and get up early, which is in line with the principle of keeping fit with nature. It's too hot, and it's not easy to fall asleep. I sleep about half an hour later than usual, and I still get up at the usual time in the morning, or even get up about half an hour earlier, which has no impact on my health. Sleep time should not exceed 12 o'clock at night in summer, and adults should ensure 7 hours of high-quality sleep every day.
2. Don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed
Some people often choose the way of exercising before going to bed in order to fall asleep easily in summer. Note that proper exercise can help you fall asleep as soon as possible, but strenuous exercise before going to bed will have the opposite effect. Heavy exercise will make the brain in a state of extreme excitement, which will return to normal after stopping exercising for 4-5 hours. At this time, it is a bit difficult to sleep peacefully as soon as possible.
3. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity of the dormitory
Generally, the comfortable temperature is 2-23℃, and the relative humidity is 5%-7%. Below 2℃, people will feel cold, while above 23℃, people will feel hot, showing that it is difficult to fall asleep and even lift the quilt. In addition, the ventilation of the dormitory is better.
4. Pay attention to the choice of bedding
Bedding has a great influence on sleep quality, and the bed and quilt should be soft and hard. In all bedding, pillows and mats play an important role. The pillow should not be too high. Reusing the cloth cotton pillow in hot summer will make the head and neck grow prickly heat, and the pillow soaked with sweat will not be washed and aired in time, and the smelly sweat will make people dizzy. In summer, it is advisable to use straw mats finely woven by natural plants or bamboo mats made of porcelain bamboo and Phyllostachys pubescens unique to China, and cool pillows made of bamboo and other materials.
5. Be careful of "convection wind" when sleeping with the window open
It is muggy and humid at night, and many people like to sleep with the window open and the fan turned on. Pay attention to turn on the air conditioner and sleep at a low temperature, because after falling asleep, the human blood circulation slows down, the resistance is weakened, and it is easy to catch cold. At the same time, don't blow "direct wind" and "convection wind" when turning on the fan and sleeping with the window open to avoid the occurrence of diseases such as facial paralysis. In addition, don't sleep with your chest and abdomen exposed. When you sleep at night, your body state is different from that during the day, and your sweat pores are open. If the temperature adjustment is too low, you may catch a cold or cause other diseases. Under normal circumstances, the indoor temperature of healthy young people can be about 3℃ ~ 8℃ lower than the outdoor temperature at night. Turn on the air conditioner before going to sleep to make the bedroom reach the temperature that is easy to fall asleep, but in order to prevent colds, it should generally not be lower than 26℃. The suitable relative humidity for sleeping should be 6% ~ 7%.
6. Taking a nap
Taking a nap is especially important for summer health. At noon in summer, the sun shines brightly, which is the most likely to hurt people's summer heat. In addition, summer nights are short, so it is more necessary to take a nap during the day to eliminate fatigue and replenish energy. But the best nap time is about 1 hour, not too long.
7. Diet should be light
In summer, diet should be light, less greasy and easy to digest. In hot summer, you sweat a lot, so you should drink some drinks to help your body emit heat. Supplementing water, salt and vitamins can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Such as watermelon, mung bean, lily, etc., all have good effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, strengthening spleen and nourishing yin. Don't be greedy for cold drinks, damage the spleen and stomach, and then interfere with sleep.
