On World Sleep Day 321, let’s talk about “sleep”

Once upon a time, I fell asleep instantly with my pillow glued to my pillow, and I didn’t know why I had “insomnia”. It wasn't until two or three years ago that "difficulty falling asleep" occurred unexpectedly, and I understood the true meaning of what I heard the old man say when I was young: "I can't wake up in the first thirty years, and I can't sleep in the next thirty years." Life is like a multi-car train moving forward. When entering the corresponding car, people will encounter similar problems and their own difficult situations. As long as life has not gotten off the train, you cannot be said to be successful. For example: Zhang Yue, the internet celebrity blogger "Zhang Yide's father" who is now being denounced over and over again on the Internet, was considered a success before his child's accident, but it was only after the incident that happened that people understood that he was a "failure". So on the road of life, although we cannot predict everything that may happen, we can find some patterns to avoid us taking detours.

Today is World Sleep Day. I would like to ask you how is your sleep? Have you found the cause of poor sleep? Don't worry, on March 18, the China Sleep Research Association, Mousse Bedding, and Keep jointly released the "2021 Exercise and Sleep White Paper", which shows that more than 300 million people in China currently have sleep disorders. As of the end of 2020, China's total population is about 1.4 billion, which means about 1 in 5 people has sleep disorders. The proportion of insomnia among sports people is only 10%. Exercise is the rule that helps us avoid insomnia detours. So let’s talk about sleep!

Poor sleep leads to low immunity, and various diseases will follow. Poor sleep can also make you irritable during the day, making it difficult to get along with colleagues and complaining with family members. I remember that there was an emergency at the company in 2010, and I worked a whole night shift to prepare materials. A normally gentle person like me couldn't control my temper and shouted loudly at the leader.

1. High-quality sleep is the best way to increase immunity and have a good mood and good temper. That is, lying down to "win" fully illustrates the importance of sleep to people.

2. Exercise sleep-promoting function

(1) Exercise promotes regular work and rest

Starting from 2019, I either have difficulty falling asleep at night, or wake up in the middle of the night after falling asleep. Difficulty sleeping. From then on I started to resume exercise, but after three days of fishing and two days of netting, the results were good and bad, irregular and not very consistent. With the sudden COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, exercise has become even more irregular. Starting from New Year's Day in 2021, I started to insist on "weekend running". There are no special circumstances on every weekend. I keep running regardless of rain or shine. I have been running for almost 3 months now. Since insisting on "weekend running", I no longer sleep in on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I get up at 8:30 at the latest in the morning, so I have to fall asleep between 10:00-11:00 every night. Of course, in order to make it easier to fall asleep, some soothing ingredients are also added at night, such as longan, lily, day lily, etc. To avoid getting up at night, drink enough water during the day and drink less water at night to basically achieve a good night's sleep.

(2) Regular exercise leads to better sleep

Regular exercise every weekend promotes sleep, and you start to feel sleepy after 10 o'clock every night. At the same time, in order to sleep better, I keep my mobile phone away from me after 10 o'clock in the evening, and tighten the curtains in the bedroom to prevent any light from entering the room. In this way, you can achieve 1-2 hours of deep sleep every night, feel refreshed every day, and even your colleagues rarely get sleepy!
