The ancients had a saying that "it is better to lie alone than to take medicine", which means that it is better to sleep peacefully than to take tonics.
If a person does not get enough sleep, or the quality of sleep is not good, he or she will often feel sluggish, lack of concentration, headaches, dizziness, muscle aches, and fatigue.

There are four precepts of sleeping, which may seem tedious but can make your whole body healthy and completely relaxed, and at the same time improve the quality of your sleep and allow you to work energetically.
Rule 1: Be sure to go to bed before the child
In the Taoist concept of health preservation, sleep is the first major event in life. If you don't sleep before the end of the day (equivalent to 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.), many old doctors will say, "I won't treat you." "In fact, it's not that it can't be cured, but that it can't be cured.
People who stay up late for many years, whether male or female, directly hurt the liver, hurt the kidneys for a long time, and gradually cause a loss of qi and blood in the body, and they will feel gray when they look in the mirror every day. At this time, it is daily nutrition and daily exercise, which cannot undo the damage caused by lack of sleep or poor sleep.
So, it's okay to wake up early, but it's definitely not okay to go to bed late. Many people who are not energetic have the habit of going to bed late, which is often easy to hurt the liver, sperm and gall. Such people often have poor eyes, are depressed, and do not have many happy times (the reason why lung qi is also affected and cannot be effectively publicized for a long time).
There are also people who think that if they sleep late at night, they can make up for it during the day, but in fact, they can't make it up at all, either they can't sleep all the time, or they don't sleep enough, even if they feel that they have made up for it, in fact, most of the body's qi and blood have been damaged.
Rule 2: Sleep without thinking
"Treat this body as if it were nothing, or like sugar in water, first melt the big toe, then the other toes, and then the feet, calves, and thighs gradually melt, and finally melt into nothing, and fall asleep naturally." This is the ideal state of mind when the Taoist doctor falls asleep. Many times, insomnia stems from lingering distractions when falling asleep.
At this time, don't toss and turn in bed to avoid distraction and make it harder to fall asleep, and the best thing to do is to sit up for a while before falling asleep. In fact, for modern people, it is also crucial to go to bed early to brew emotions if they want to go to bed before 11 p.m., so as to give the mind some time to calm down. "Sleep your heart first, then sleep your eyes", that's what he said.
If it still doesn't work, you can try to simply press your legs before going to bed, and then sit cross-legged or prostrate on the bed, fold your hands on your legs, breathe naturally, feel the pores of your whole body close with your breathing, if you can cry and yawn, the best effect is to fall asleep when you want to sleep.
Rule 3: It is advisable to take a nap or sit quietly at noon
At noon (equivalent to 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), if the conditions are limited and you cannot sleep, you can sit quietly for a quarter of an hour, close your eyes and recuperate. Masters who meditate are accustomed to taking a nap in the middle of the day. In fact, as long as you close your eyes and really fall asleep for 3 minutes at noon, it is equivalent to sleeping for two hours, but you must be right at noon. At night, you should fall asleep at the right time, and 5 minutes is equal to 6 hours.
Rule 4: Sleep must be early to sleep
Even in winter, they will not get up more than 6 o'clock in the morning, and try to get up before 5 o'clock in spring, summer and autumn. For human health, getting up early is good for the body's metabolism.
The advantage of waking up early is that, on the one hand, it can excrete the metabolic turbidity from the body, and if you get up too late, the large intestine will not be fully active and cannot complete the excretion function well.
In addition, the body's digestion and absorption function is most active from 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning, which is the "golden hour" for nutrient absorption. Therefore, don't lie in bed, dizziness and exhaustion are caused by snooze.
