Many people are troubled by insomnia and dreaminess. Poor sleep at night will not only affect the mental state of the day, but also do great harm to the body in the long run.
Is there any way to solve it? Professor Man Shu Zhen made a detailed analysis for everyone.
1. What's wrong with sleeping and dreaming?
Most dreams are a state in which people feel dizzy and tired after sleeping. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of dreaminess lies in the internal changes of the body. According to ancient records, many reasons can lead to dreaminess, such as deficiency of qi and blood, emotional damage, deficiency of yin and blood, phlegm-heat disturbing the liver and gallbladder, overwork, eating disorders and so on.
Modern medicine explains that neurasthenia, a lot of mental work lead to excessive excitement of brain nerves, and incorrect sleeping posture can also lead to dreaminess.
First, how to sleep and dream?
If insomnia and dreaminess are caused by insufficient heart-qi, the treatment principle should be nourishing blood and benefiting qi, calming the heart and calming the nerves. Ginseng, Radix Astragali, Poria, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Semen Nelumbinis, Fructus Amomi, Lignum Aquilariae Resinatum, Lignum Santali Albi, Glycyrrhrizae Radix, etc. Conditioning treatment should be chosen. Shenfu, Zhuru, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Coptidis Rhizoma, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Glycyrrhrizae Radix, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, Fructus Jujubae, and Concha Margarita can be used for clearing away heat and resolving phlegm.
If it is because of excessive brain use or anxiety, then we should concentrate on eliminating psychological factors. You can participate in sports activities properly, wash your feet with hot water before going to bed, massage your feet, and drink hot milk before going to bed. If the sleeping position is incorrect, it can be corrected in time to avoid the continuous occurrence of dreaminess.
Third, the reasons for sleeping and dreaming at night
(1) Little is known about sleep and the relationship between sleep and dreams.
(2) Sleeping and dreaming at night is related to people's emotional state.
(3) Too much concern for one's health and dreams leads to the enhancement of dreams. In turn, it will aggravate health concerns, fear of insomnia, and even form a vicious circle.
(4) It is easier to recall the contents of dreams during REM sleep and late awakening.
(5) Differences in individual functional states. Different individuals have different dreams, and even the dreams of the same individual are different in different periods and different functional states, so some people will feel MUBI for a period of time and have fewer dreams for another period of time.
4. What's the harm of sleeping and dreaming?
Sleepiness and insomnia are common diseases of modern people. Don't think that insomnia and dreaminess are common sleep disorders and will not cause serious harm to the body.
The survey shows that people who often lack sleep and dream more are more likely to suffer from serious physical diseases such as digestive system diseases, menopausal syndrome, hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes than those who sleep normally.
During sleep, some protein which helps to regulate gastrointestinal function is the most active. But if you don't get enough sleep, it will endanger the production of this substance, thus greatly increasing the incidence of gastritis, stomach, duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis and other diseases.
American researchers conducted a questionnaire survey on 70,000 insomnia patients without coronary heart disease. After 10 years, 934 people were found to have coronary heart disease, of which 27 1 person died. The incidence of coronary heart disease in women who sleep less than 5 hours a day is 45% higher than that in normal people.
Experiments show that if a person is trapped by sleep disorder and doesn't sleep for two consecutive nights, autonomic nerve dysfunction that regulates blood vessels and nerves may occur, leading to sympathetic nerve excitement, which will lead to his blood pressure increase; If you only sleep for 4 hours every night, insulin secretion will decrease; If this situation lasts for a week, it is enough to make healthy people have pre-diabetes.
In addition to physical diseases, common sleep disorders such as insomnia and dreaminess can also induce serious mental diseases such as depression and anxiety.
A 40-year follow-up survey of insomnia and non-insomnia people shows that pr
Take part in Qigong, Tai Ji Chuan and other sports that emphasize mental exercise to improve the ability of nerve regulation.
Live regularly, sleep regularly, don't eat too much at dinner, and don't drink tea, coffee and other stimulating drinks before going to bed. It is not advisable to wash your hair before going to bed. Shampooing before going to bed will stimulate the nerves in the brain, lead to excitement, and thus affect the quality of sleep. The correct time to wash your hair should be half an hour after waking up, which can restore your energy.
You need to relax. You shouldn't care too much about dreaming. Don't think or read between half an hour and an hour before going to bed. You should do proper physical activities to avoid nervous mental activities.
You can also eat some foods to prevent insomnia, such as milk, fruit, sugar water, millet porridge, jujube porridge, lotus seed porridge and so on. Don't use hypnotic and sedative drugs easily, because it has side effects such as drowsiness after getting up in the morning, addiction and rebound after stopping taking drugs. So it is not suitable for long-term use. If you dream more, first find the reason from your own psychology, or seek the help of a doctor.
Professor Mann Shu Zhen reminds everyone that although sleeping and dreaming is a common situation, if we don't take timely treatment measures, it will lead to a huge health crisis.
Therefore, in daily life, in addition to paying attention to the above methods of nursed back to health, effective nursing work should be carried out to enhance immunity, so as to really get rid of the trouble of dreaminess.
