Sleeping is an important way for people to recover their strength, ensure health, and enhance immune function. The cool climate in autumn improves the sleeping conditions for people. However, if not properly attended to, the quality of sleep can be affected. Next, we will introduce what taboos there are for sleeping in autumn.
Avoid eating before bed.
Eating before bed can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to indigestion and harm to the body. It can also affect sleep. If you are very hungry before bed, you can eat a small amount and rest for a while before sleeping.
Avoid drinking tea.
The caffeine in tea can stimulate the central nervous system and cause excitement. Drinking strong tea before bed can make it difficult to fall asleep due to fatigue. Drinking too much tea can cause frequent urination at night, affecting sleep.
Avoid emotional excitement before bed.
Emotional excitement before bed can cause disorders in Qi and blood, leading to insomnia and harm to the body. Therefore, it is important to avoid anxiety or emotional excitement before bed, especially avoiding agitation of the liver.
Avoid excessive entertainment before bed.
Excessive entertainment activities should also be avoided before bed, especially activities that are tense and stimulating for a long time. These activities can keep the nerves excited and cause emotional excitement, making it difficult to fall asleep and affecting sleep quality.
Avoid excessive talking while sleeping.
It is not advisable to talk too much while sleeping. Talking too much while lying down can damage lung Qi and also make a person mentally excited, affecting sleep.
Avoid covering the face while sleeping.
Covering the face with a blanket while sleeping can make it difficult to breathe and cause the body to lack oxygen, which is extremely detrimental to health.
Avoid sleeping with your mouth open.
Sleeping with your mouth closed is the best way to preserve vitality. If you open your mouth wide to breathe, the cold air and dust that you inhale can damage the lungs, and the stomach can also catch a chill.
Avoid sleeping in a draft.
The body's ability to adapt to environmental changes is reduced during sleep, making it susceptible to wind invasion. Therefore, it is important to keep warm while sleeping and avoid direct exposure to drafts.
