Raised vertical lines on nails

Many health experts have said that the condition of nails can reflect many physical problems, but people often ignore the condition of nails in daily life. Everyone's nails are different. Some people's nails are very hard, some people's nails are very soft, and the half-moons on the nails are also different. Let’s understand what the raised vertical lines on the nails mean.

1. What are the vertical lines on the nails?

Nails can be said to be a "mirror" that reflects potential health problems in the body. What does it mean when you find vertical lines on your nails? If the surface of the nails is not smooth enough and there are obvious vertical lines on the nails, it means that you are overworked, lack of sleep, and over-using your brain. You should try to take more time to rest and absorb more vitamins and protein.

2. What to do if there are vertical lines on your fingernails

As mentioned above, vertical lines on the nails may be caused by lack of sleep, poor sleep quality or excessive brain use. So how can we improve the quality of sleep and improve the vertical lines on the nails?

3. How to improve sleep quality?

1. Stick to a regular schedule and don’t sleep too late on weekends. If you go to bed late on Saturday and get up late on Sunday, you may suffer from insomnia on Sunday night.

2. Don’t eat or drink too much before going to bed. Eat a small dinner about two hours before going to bed, and don't drink too much water, because constant going to the toilet at night will affect the quality of sleep; don't eat spicy and oily foods at night, because these foods will also affect sleep.

3. Stay away from coffee and nicotine before going to bed. It is recommended that you avoid drinking coffee eight hours before going to bed.

4. Choose a time to exercise. The best time to exercise is in the afternoon to help you fall asleep, and regular physical activity can improve the quality of your sleep at night.

5. Keep the room temperature slightly cool. Keeping your bedroom cooler can help you sleep better.

6. Sleep deeply at night. Napping during the day may lead to sleep deprivation at night. Daytime sleep time should be strictly controlled within 1 hour, and you cannot sleep after 3 pm.

7. Keep quiet. Turn off the TV and radio, as quietness is very beneficial for improving sleep quality.

8. Comfortable bed. A comfortable bed provides you with a good sleeping space. Also, you need to make sure that the bed is spacious enough.

9. Take a bath before going to bed. A hot bath before bed can help relax your muscles and help you sleep better.

10. Don't rely on sleeping pills. Be sure to consult your doctor before taking sleeping pills. It is recommended that you do not take sleeping pills for more than 4 weeks.
