Can't sleep at night, sleep lightly
Wake up all the time and sleep poorly......
- It's all insomnia.
Insomnia is equal to women's "blood loss", men's "sperm loss", what is consumed is the essence of the body, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are overdrawn to varying degrees. Reflected on the skin, hair.
Falling asleep by taking sleeping pills, a very small number of people can successfully stop the drug, and the vast majority of people will be "addicted" and increase the dosage until the drug loses its effect and reincarnates from the day when the eyes are opened to the dawn.
In particular, many people have the problem of waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, and it is generally difficult to continue sleeping after waking up. This situation may indicate that something is wrong with your body.
By looking at the time of waking up in the middle of the night, we can simply determine which part of the body is wrong.
Woke up suddenly between 1 and 3 a.m
First, heart problems
If you often wake up suddenly at two or three in the morning and wake up with a rapid heartbeat, wheezing, and a feeling of fear, then there is a good chance that something is wrong with your heart. The most common is arrhythmia. Arrhythmias are very common in cardiovascular disease. In short, the heart beats irregularly. Most patients experience palpitations, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, and sweating.
Myocardial ischemia can also cause sudden awakenings at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, because in the second half of the night, the body will be in a state of rest, including the brain. If the blood supply to the heart is insufficient, it can affect the cerebral cortex, and as if in danger, it can stimulate the brain to wake up suddenly.
Second, there is a problem with the liver
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that between 1 and 3 a.m. is the time when the meridians circulate to the liver. At this time, the circulation of the liver is accelerated, and the detoxification ability is improved. People with a bad liver don't sleep well during this time and wake up easily.
Wake up between 3 and 5 a.m
Waking up between 3 and 5 a.m. is most likely a sign of lung problems. During this period, qi and blood flow from the liver meridian to the lung meridian, which is the beginning of yang qi, and the body's qi and blood begin a new round of distribution. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" pointed out: "The lungs, the official of the prime minister, the rule of the festival out of Yan", the lungs are towards the hundred veins, the main section, which means that the lungs have the ability of the prime minister, the main qi, through the propaganda and suppression of the human body's qi, blood and fluid redistribution to various organs, the reasonable resource allocation process should also be carried out in deep sleep. If you often wake up at this time, accompanied by nasal congestion, sneezing, chills, poor breathing, coughing and wheezing, etc., it is most likely that there is a problem with your lungs.

Adjust these three organs, and you will naturally sleep soundly
For most insomnia patients, if they can judge which organ has a problem, they can do corresponding conditioning.
1. Regulate the liver
This type of person presents with difficulty falling asleep and is a relatively common insomnia. Yang does not enter yin, and the intersection of yin and yang is blocked, causing mental restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, which is its pathogenesis.
Therefore, such insomnia can be supplemented with a little more liver-regulating foods, such as mustard greens, mulberries, black sesame, ejiao, jujubes, spinach, wolfberry, duck blood, etc., to regulate the problem of liver blood deficiency and improve insomnia from the root.
Usually, you can also moxibustion Liver Yu, Taixi and Taichong acupoints, which can well mobilize the vitality of the liver meridian, make the liver function run healthily, and play a role in nourishing the liver and protecting the liver.
2. Regulate the spleen and stomach
The spleen is mainly wet, and the main lips are the lips. Saliva is excess water, easy to drool, which directly indicates that the temperature of the spleen and stomach is insufficient, which is similar to the principle of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold mentioned above. It also has symptoms such as greasy mouth, light mouth, anorexia, and irregular stool, which are mostly caused by disharmony between the spleen and stomach. If the stomach is not congruct, the patient can eat more yams, hawthorn, glutinous rice, sweet potatoes, coix seeds, etc. It can be eaten with yam, coix seeds, and japonica rice to cook porridge. It can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen and stomach, and is suitable for loss of appetite, abdominal distention, insomnia and dreams caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach.
In addition to adjusting the diet and relaxing the mood, people with a bad spleen and stomach can also be conditioned by moxibustion acupuncture points. Moxibustion can be used in the middle of the belly, Shenque, and Zusanli, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish the middle and invigorate the qi, activate the meridians, dispel wind and dampness, and help correct and dispel evil.
3. Regulate the kidneys
The kidneys are where people's essence, qi, and spirit reside. After the kidney qi fails, it will cause restlessness, and the lack of kidney essence in the human body will cause lack of sleep, resulting in poor sleep quality.
Yam, wolfberry, and japonica rice can be used to cook porridge together, which can nourish the kidneys and help you fall asleep. It can also moxibustion Kidney Yu, Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Sanyin Jiao, Taixi and other acupuncture points, which can warm yang and invigorate qi, nourish the kidney and spleen, cultivate and replenish vitality, and prolong life.
Due to the great differences in the human body, the above moxibustion prescription is for reference only, the symptoms are serious, if you need to seek medical attention, please consult a regular professional doctor.
