The Key to Maintaining Health: Getting Good Sleep

In traditional Chinese medicine, it's believed that sleep accounts for 70% of a healthy body. While we may not always know if what we eat is truly necessary, a good night's sleep can leave us feeling energized when we wake up.

If you find yourself experiencing suboptimal health and facing the following issues, it might be time to consider adjusting your sleep:

1.Short temper, easily irritated by trivial matters, feeling dissatisfied with everything.
2.Lack of energy, easily feeling exhausted.
3.Poor complexion, prone to blemishes, dark circles, tear troughs, deepening nasolabial folds, and morning puffiness.
4.Struggling with weight loss despite efforts.

Here are some ideas on how to get good sleep:

1.Develop a habit of taking naps. Ensure you go to bed before 11 p.m. for a well-rested night's sleep. You can also take a nap between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
2.Start winding down before bedtime. Leave work and worries for tomorrow. Engage in relaxing activities to clear your mind and signal to your brain that it's time to rest.
3.Avoid eating after 8 p.m. Your digestive system also needs rest at night, and eating late can burden it and affect your sleep.
4.Don't go to bed with unresolved emotions. Going to bed with emotional baggage can lead to difficulty falling asleep.
5.Engage in activities that promote sleep before bedtime, such as light exercises, soaking your feet in warm water, or listening to soothing music.
6.Early to bed, early to rise. Oversleeping can lead to fatigue, and sleeping in the morning can disrupt your sleep cycle.

We often hear some women talk about getting "beauty sleep." Indeed, sleep not only beautifies but also nourishes the body.

So, go ahead and get some sleep!
