What to do if you can’t sleep in the hot summer

Summer is the season with the highest temperature, which will cause great pressure on people's health. In particular, the high temperature makes people feel very uncomfortable in the environment, which greatly affects people's daily routines. For example, the hot weather greatly damages people's sleep, causing many people to suffer from insomnia due to high temperatures. Let's take a look at what to do if you can't sleep due to the hot summer?

The key is to follow the "rhythm of summer" in your lifestyle and live scientifically to achieve the goal of health preservation.

Summer nights are hot and humid, and many people have trouble sleeping, tossing and turning in bed, feeling very uncomfortable. If you reduce your sleep time because of this, you will often be in a very bad mood. In fact, the characteristics of summer are long days and short nights. People go to bed late and get up early, and the sleep time is relatively shortened, which is in line with the health-preserving principle of conforming to nature. Chinese medicine experts said: "The weather is too hot, and it is not easy to fall asleep. You can go to bed about half an hour later than usual and get up at the usual time in the morning, or even half an hour earlier. It will not affect your health." What you just need to do is to be careful not to fall asleep later than 12 o'clock at night.

1. You can take a warm bath before going to bed, then lie on the bed and listen to lullabies or light music, relax your whole body, and don't think about anything else. You will fall asleep in a short while.

2. Chinese jujube kernel and red ginseng powder: Take 20 grams of Chinese jujube kernel and 5 grams of red ginseng, grind them into powder and take it once a day. Red ginseng has the effect of improving immunity and assisting sleep, while Chinese jujube kernel has the effect of nourishing blood, calming the mind, clearing away heat and relieving restlessness.

3. Milk: Don’t eat too much before going to bed every day, as this will make you unable to sleep. Also, don’t drink any stimulating beverages. Just drink a glass of milk one hour before going to bed, because milk contains tryptophan, a substance that can promote sleep.

4. You can go to the hospital to see a Chinese medicine doctor to check your body. The doctor is a professional. He can check the cause of your sleep problems and then prescribe the right medicine. You can ask him to prescribe some tranquilizers and sleep-aiding medicines for you. This is both safe and effective.

5. Many people like to play with their mobile phones while lying in bed. The more they play, the harder it is to fall asleep. So if you want to sleep, you should put down your mobile phone and concentrate on sleeping.

6. Self-hypnosis: Lie on the bed, relax your whole body, calm your mind, take a deep breath, and say silently in your heart: I am already asleep, I am already asleep, and imagine yourself already asleep. This is also effective.
