People spend 1/3 of their lives in sleep, and high quality sleep is the basis of physical health. During sleep metabolism slows down, each system gradually smooth, each organ gets enough blood, nutrients and oxygen nourishment, conducive to repair of damaged tissues and improve the essence. However, Chinese medicine warned 3 kinds of sleep can not sleep, or will affect health.
What kinds of sleep can not sleep?
1, Drunkenness sleep
From the point of view of Chinese medicine, wine is a warm food, especially medicinal wine can invigorate blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of rheumatic diseases. However, long-term heavy drinking or alcoholism can harm the liver and gastric mucosa, easily causing alcoholism or alcoholic hepatitis, gastric ulcers or gastric bleeding, and may also cause cardiovascular disease. Many people believe that a small amount of alcohol can promote sleep, which is a misconception, as the concentration of alcohol decreases can temporarily play a sedative effect, so that people produce drowsiness, but it will disrupt the normal sleep rhythm, can not enter a deep sleep state, can not eliminate fatigue. Alcohol can stimulate too much insulin secretion after alcohol abuse, which can easily trigger alcoholic hypoglycemia, and failure to resuscitate in time may result in increased intracranial pressure and cerebral edema. In addition, the swallowing reflex and movements become sluggish after drunkenness, the pharyngeal muscles become relaxed, the airway is easily blocked, and lying down to sleep may produce mis-aspiration, which may cause aspiration pneumonia in the lighter cases, and in the heavier cases may lead to cerebral hypoxia and even sudden death.
2, Anger sleep
Excessive mood swings, excessive anger can damage the internal organs of qi and blood function. According to Chinese medicine, the liver is the main organ of drainage, and anger can affect the drainage of the liver, resulting in liver qi stagnation, the main symptoms of which are congestion in the chest and diaphragm and fullness of the two sides; it may also develop into liver fire on inflammation, the main symptoms of which are bitterness and dryness of the mouth, irritability and irritability, and redness and swelling of the eyes. Sleeping with sullenness can lead to a lack of liver blood and liver qi, which over time can cause disruption of qi and blood flow, affecting sleep quality and even causing endocrine disorders, damaging liver health.
3, Black and white sleep reversal
Some people are accustomed to sleep and stay up late on holidays or weekends, and sleeping upside down can affect health. Chinese medicine believes that 22:00~6:00 is the best time period, only at night when sleeping growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone began to secrete, growth hormone can promote growth and development; adrenocorticotropic hormone can promote sugar metabolism, beneficial to muscle development. Frequent late nights can affect the liver and gallbladder, leading to physical fatigue, poor gastrointestinal digestion and reduced immunity, and can even cause amnesia and anxiety disorders.
