​Early to bed and early to rise is good for health

Speaking of going to bed early and getting up early, many people often do this. In order to have a good body, many people go to bed early and get up early every day. This practice is very helpful for all aspects of physical rest, especially for young people who often do this. It is very effective in preventing diseases. However, some people don’t quite understand why going to bed early and getting up early is good for the body. Why does this make the body better? Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Early to bed and early to rise is good for health:

After knowing what problems will arise if you stay up late for a long time, you will probably go to bed early. When people are awake with their eyes open, the brain's thinking and the movement of the limbs occupy most of the body's qi and blood energy. At this time, the body's self-healing system has very little energy to allocate and can only do what it has to do. For example, if a part of the body is bleeding, this situation must be repaired immediately, otherwise it will be life-threatening. Any damage that can be put on hold, or regular maintenance work such as daily renewal and elimination of old cells, cannot be performed while the human body is awake. These tasks can only be done after the human body enters deep sleep and the energy of qi and blood occupied by the movement of the brain and limbs is released. When the human body enters deep sleep, it not only carries out repair work, but also converts the food eaten into blood and carries out blood production.

Sleep can be said to be the most important part of maintaining a person's health. If you get enough and normal sleep, the body's self-healing system can repair most problems in the human body. Without good sleep, not only will the damage to the body be unable to repair, the hematopoietic system will not be able to function normally, the body's overall qi and blood energy will inevitably decline rapidly, many chronic diseases will slowly breed, and health will rapidly deteriorate.

Sleep is not only very important for adults, but even more important for children. While children are sleeping, their bodies not only have to take on the tasks of hematopoiesis and tissue repair, but also continue to grow. There is a Fujian proverb: "If you are sleepy, you will grow an inch taller after a good sleep; if you cherish your child well, you will grow a foot taller after a good sleep." It means: "If you sleep well, you will grow an inch taller after a night; if you cherish your child well, you will grow a foot taller after a night." This proverb is absolutely true. Sleep is closely related to the growth and development of children. Good sleep is the most important factor for children's growth.

Under normal circumstances, children should not have sleep disorders. Most of the sleep problems among modern children are caused by family influences, and the most common problem is going to bed too late. Television, computers and the Internet are prevalent in modern families, and people go to bed later and later. In addition, in dual-income families, parents get off work very late, and the children also go to bed later and later.

In addition to causing growth problems in children, staying up late may also cause hyperactivity in children. A friend who lives in Canada has a hyperactive child. In Canada, the relationship between doctors, schools and families is relatively close. The doctor requires parents to pay close attention to their children's sleep and ensure that they go to bed before 9 o'clock every day. At the same time, the doctor also informed the teacher that if the child is particularly active in school, it may be that he did not go to bed before 9 o'clock the night before. This kind of hyperactive child can easily get into trouble at school, and this is the responsibility of the child's parents. Whenever a child gets into trouble at school, the teacher will discuss it with the parents.

From this example, we can understand that even Western medicine believes that there is a close relationship between children's late sleep and hyperactivity. If children occasionally go to bed late, their liver yang will rise. At this time, the child will be more excited, the cheeks under the eyes will be redder, the top of the head will be hotter, and some will even have red ears. If you go to bed late for many days in a row, your body will show signs of excessive heart fire. At this time, the tip of the child's tongue appears bright red, which is a typical symptom of excessive heart fire. The child appears to be full of energy, but in fact he has a tendency to be hyperactive. As the days of staying up late get longer, the hyperactivity disorder will become more serious.

Children who go to bed early have higher qi and blood, their brains function more smoothly, their memory is better, and they can get twice the result with half the effort when studying. On the contrary, children who go to bed late will have insufficient qi and blood, and their brain will not be supplied with enough blood and oxygen. They will have difficulty concentrating, and naturally have poor memory, so their reading efficiency will be half the result with twice the effort.

Different sleep times have different effects on the body. The body's blood production efficiency is best in the first half of the night when sleeping. The body will repair important organs in the second half of the night when sleeping. Daytime sleep only has the effect of replenishing kidney qi and restoring physical strength. The main purpose of going to bed early is to improve the efficiency of the body's blood production. The body needs sufficient blood to grow smoothly.

After understanding that early to bed and early to rise are good for your health, you should go to bed earlier every day. Especially for those who like to stay up late, you should pay attention to not going to bed too late at night, otherwise it will not harm your health. Moreover, going to bed too late will also cause other diseases in the body, which is also something you should pay attention to.
