People who are "easy to wake up" in the middle of the night are blocked in these 2 places!
Many people have the experience of falling asleep before 11 o'clock every night and waking up at regular intervals in the early hours of the morning. Some wake up at 1 a.m., and some wake up at 3 a.m.
In this case, sometimes I turn over and fall asleep again; But sometimes I tossed and turned for a long time, and I couldn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn, which was very troublesome over and over again.
◆◆
Why wake up in the middle of the night?
◆◆
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs of the human body correspond to the twelve hours. In the corresponding hour, the qi and blood of this viscera are the most vigorous and the most functional. If there is an abnormality in the internal organs, there will be inexplicable wakefulness and difficulty sleeping.
Therefore, this situation can be solved by unclogging the corresponding meridians, sometimes with immediate results.
◆◆
These two times are the easiest to wake up!
◆◆
I woke up inexplicably at 1-3 o'clock in the morning, mostly caused by a strong liver fire. There are often symptoms such as irritability, irritability or qi depression, and during the time period when the qi and blood flow to the liver meridian are injected, it naturally wakes people up.
Suggestion:
At this time, knock and knead the Yin Bao acupoint and Taichong acupoint of the liver meridian, it will be painful to touch, knock and knead at the pain point for 5-10 minutes, the pain will disappear in 3-5 days, and you can sleep until dawn.
Tap Gestures:
When knocking on the liver meridian, clench your fists and knock with the metacarpophalangeal joints of your little fingers.
Percussion method:
1. After tapping 3-5 times, there will be a strong pain point in the "Yin Bao acupoint" on the inner thigh, which can be kneaded.
2. "Taichong acupoint" is in the depression at the fork of the big toe and the second toe, hook it here with the index finger in the direction of the ankle and then rub it, if there is a pain point that needs to be sorted out.
3. Hit the ground with both feet and tap the inner thigh with an empty fist with one hand.
This time is when the lungs are in order, that is, when the lung function is the strongest, so people with excessive lung fire, insufficient lung qi, and lung fever are more likely to wake up.
Suggestion:
People with bad lungs can eat more foods that moisten the lungs, such as pears, lilies, etc., before going to bed, you may wish to knock the holes of the lung meridian, knead the fish acupoint, and operate at the pain point for 5-10 minutes each time.
After a period of repeated massage, the pain at the acupuncture points will be reduced, and you will find that the symptoms of awakening at night are reduced.
Tapping Method:
-
Knock the hole at the most acupuncture point:
With your palms up, your forearms are raised relaxed, and your other hand is clasped with an empty fist and your lungs are tapped.
After tapping 3-5 times (the forearm must be flat), most people with abnormal lung function will have obvious pain points in the "hole most acupoint". At this time, the pain points can be sorted out by kneading or kneading.
-
Rub the "Fish Point":
"Yuji acupoint" is in the middle of the two bones close to the thumb, when kneading, the thumb should lean on the first metacarpal bone, when the lungs are diseased, the pain will be obvious, but some people do not feel serious pain at the beginning, when the "hole is the most acupoint" dredged, the feeling will appear.

These behaviors worsen insomnia
◆◆
1. Play with your phone
Mobile phone light can stimulate the brain and eyes, causing nerves to be excited, which is not conducive to falling asleep again.
2. Drink cold water
The cold taste is easy to make the nerves more awake, and it is also a huge stimulation to the stomach and intestines, if you want to drink water, it is recommended to drink some warm boiled, it can reduce blood viscosity and prevent thrombosis.
3. Freeze your feet
When getting up at night, you should pay attention to keeping your feet warm, there is a saying called "cold starts from the feet", especially in summer, many families are on the air conditioner, the floor is cold and refreshing, people with weak physique are easy to catch colds, and people who have difficulty falling asleep will be more awake.
4. Turn on the lights
Waking up in the middle of the night and turning on the bright lights, it is more difficult to fall asleep, turning on the lights will give the nerves and the body an "activation" signal, it is best to place a soft and warm night light at the head of the bed, which can be seen clearly and does not affect sleep.
5. Think about things
Disturbed thoughts can interfere with sleep, and when you wake up in the middle of the night and think about everything, not only can you not think about things clearly, but your sleep is also delayed, and you become more and more anxious.

Try to fall asleep at this time

Surveys have shown that sleep between 6.5-7.4 hours has the lowest mortality rate, and less than 4.4 hours will double the risk of death, and the elderly sleep relatively less, but should also be kept at 5.5-7 hours to be healthier~
01
Go to bed at 23:00 p.m
Sub-hour (23:00-1:00): At this time, you sleep enough, and the dark circles under your eyes are not shown.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory says; "The residual qi of the liver is discharged in the gallbladder and gathers into essence." When a person falls asleep before childhood, the gallbladder can complete metabolism. "The brain is as clear as the bile." On the contrary, it will be more likely to form crystals and stones due to poor bile detoxification and metabolism.
02
Ugly at 1:00 a.m
Ugly time (1:00-3:00): It is best to enter the stage of deep sleep at this time.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when it is ugly, it is the liver meridian that is in order, and the liver and blood are renewed. There is a saying in "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "The blood of a person lies on the liver, and the liver can be seen by blood", that is to say, the liver has the function of storing blood and regulating blood volume, especially women with poor qi and blood should pay attention to sleeping well~
03
Don't worry about waking up at 3:00 a.m
Yin Shi (3:00-5:00): This is the beginning of the day's yang energy.
Many elderly people are also most likely to wake up during this time period, which has a lot to do with the lack of qi and blood. Even if you can't sleep after waking up, don't rush to get up, you can move your hands and feet in the bed first.
Tips: It is recommended to follow the "221" principle when getting up with high blood pressure, that is, lie on the bed for 2 minutes after waking up, sit for 2 minutes after getting up, and then sit on the edge of the bed and wait for 1 minute before standing up and moving.
Note: It does not mean that the sleeping time can only be concentrated in the above 6 hours, for example, you can continue to sleep at 6 o'clock in the morning, depending on the situation, as long as you ensure sufficient and regular rest, there is no big problem.
