What are the taboos for sleeping in summer?

Summer is sultry, and many friends will sleep with their stomachs open and air conditioners blown. Pay attention to taboos. Let me tell you the answer.

Taboo of summer sleep

1, avoid sleeping naked.

Many friends will 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 temperature of these two parts is almost fixed, which will make the abdomen and chest catch cold when sleeping naked, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain and chest diseases.

2, avoid cold water to wipe the mat.

In summer, many old people will use cold water to wipe the mat, which can make the mat colder and sleep more comfortable, but Chinese medicine reminds that people in summer are prone to sweating. If they sleep on the damp mat again, it will make the mat a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria and cause physical discomfort.

3. Avoid turning on the air conditioner too low when sleeping.

With the improvement of living standards, many friends will turn on the air conditioner before going to bed, but don't adjust the air conditioner temperature too low when sleeping, because the blood circulation of the human body will slow down during sleep, and its own resistance will also decline. If the air conditioner in the room is turned on too low, you will catch a cold.

The above are three taboos about sleeping in summer, but some friends say that it is easy to lose sleep in summer. How to adjust at this time? Let's keep looking down together.

Insomnia conditioning method

1, adjust the mentality

Although the weather in summer is rather dull, it is easy to make people feel restless, thus aggravating the symptoms of insomnia, but in fact, mentality is also very important to recuperate insomnia. The life pressure of modern people is relatively high. If these pressures are not discharged in time, they will indirectly cause insomnia. If you have insomnia for a long time in summer, it is better to decompress yourself first.

2. Drug conditioning

In Chinese medicine, there are many Chinese medicines that can regulate insomnia. Lily, acacia flower and other medicinal materials have the effect 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 dialectical treatment and the right medicine can the best drug conditioning effect be obtained.

3, Chinese medicine conditioning

For insomnia, Chinese medicine also has many ways to recuperate. Generally speaking, insomnia in summer is short-lived and temporary. At this time, you can turn to Chinese medicine for help and use Chinese medicine therapy such as massage and acupuncture to help you fall asleep. In addition, Chinese medicine also suggests that you soak your feet more before going to bed. This method of helping sleep can play a role in health care.

Matters needing attention

1, go to bed late and get up early

Summer is characterized by long days and short nights, people go to bed late and get up early, and their sleep time is relatively shortened, which conforms to the principle of conforming to nature. It is too hot to fall asleep easily. Sleeping about half an hour later than usual, getting up at the usual time in the morning, or even getting up about half an hour earlier, has no effect on your health. Sleep time should not exceed 12 in summer, and adults should ensure 7 hours of high-quality sleep every day.

2. Don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed.

In order to fall asleep easily in summer, some people often choose the way of exercise before going to bed. Note that proper exercise can help you fall asleep as soon as possible, but strenuous exercise before going to bed has the opposite effect. Intense exercise makes the brain in a state of extreme excitement, and it will return to normal after stopping exercise for 4-5 hours. It's a little difficult to sleep as soon as possible at this time.

3. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity in the dormitory.

Generally, the comfortable temperature is 20-23℃ and the relative humidity is 50%-70%. Below 20℃, people will feel cold, above 23℃, people will feel hot, showing that it is difficult to fall asleep and even lift the quilt. Besides, the dormitory is well ventilated.

4. Pay attention to the choice of bedding.

Bedding has a great influence on sleep quality, and the bed and quilt should be moderate in hardness. Pillows and cushions play an important role in all bedding. The pillow should not be too high. Repeated use of cotton cloth pillows in hot summer will cause prickly heat on the head and neck, and the pillows 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, bamboo mats made of porcelain and bamboo unique to China, and cool pillows made of bamboo.

5, open the window to sleep carefully "convection wind"

It is sultry and humid at night, and many people like to open the window and turn on the fan to sleep. Pay attention to turn on the air conditioner and sleep at low temperature, because after falling asleep, the human blood circulation slows down, the resistance is weakened, and it is easy to catch a cold. At the same time, don't blow "direct blowing" and "convection wind" when turning on the fan and opening the window to avoid the occurrence of diseases such as facial paralysis. In addition, don't sleep topless. When you sleep at night, your body state is different from that during the day, and your sweat pores are open. If the temperature 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 bed, so that the bedroom can reach the temperature of falling asleep easily, but in order to prevent colds, it should generally not be lower than 26℃. The relative humidity of sleeping should be 60% ~ 70%.

Step 6 take a nap

Pay special attention to taking a nap in summer health. At noon in summer, the sun is shining, which is most likely to hurt people's summer heat. In addition, summer nights are short, and 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

Summer diet should be light, less greasy and easy to digest. In hot summer, you will sweat a lot, so you should drink some drinks to help your body dissipate heat. Supplementing water, salt and vitamins can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Such as watermelon, mung bean and lily. , all have good effects of clearing away 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.
