Yoga: The last magic weapon to save sleep

Mr. Zhang, a company executive and a legendary gold-collar family, has a full schedule every day. Continuous meetings and frequent business trips are commonplace every day. On days when he didn't work overtime, he would enjoy delicious food with his friends after work, and sometimes he would go for running and aerobic exercise. Every day after returning home, I would lie on the sofa watching TV, surfing the Internet, and occasionally drink some beer.

In this way, after passing a few hours, the hour hand was already pointing to 12 o'clock. With tired sleepiness coming, he went to bed to prepare for a rest.

Unfortunately, he couldn't fall asleep, and his mind accidentally imagined the meetings during the day or the recent personnel changes at work... Although he was so tired and the night was so quiet, he still couldn't sleep.

There are not a few "urban insomniacs" like Mr. Zhang. During the day, they are the backbone of the company and live a comfortable life with a good income, but at night they have no sleep.

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. It is a lack of sleep caused by difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, and waking up prematurely or intermittently. Studies have shown that excessive stress in high-level brain activities can affect the function of the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems. Strong and lasting psychological stimulation that exceeds the limit will cause certain functions of the body to be continuously high, leading to abnormalities in various aspects such as the nervous and endocrine systems, and even causing brain damage or organ dysfunction. The regulation of brain function is abnormal, and insomnia and other diseases are often prone to occur. Therefore, psychological factors are closely related to insomnia.

How to bid farewell to the annoying insomnia that follows me and regain the slumber of a baby? The ancient yoga gives us many useful insights.

To save your sleep, first adjust your schedule as well as possible, fall asleep before 10 o'clock every day, and don't eat any more for two hours before going to bed.

Second, practice yoga poses. Different yoga have different effects. It is best to practice under the guidance of a professional yoga teacher. High-temperature yoga better discharges toxins from the body, scientifically stretches and massages one's body and internal organs, and subtly changes the practitioner's mentality, from impetuous to calm and calm. Practicing yoga regularly every week and alternately focusing on different yoga poses every other day can effectively balance your mind and emotions.

Third, daily meditation is more ideal than the effect of drugs.

Fourth, practice deep abdominal breathing to make your body more relaxed and energetic.

Happy or painful, fat or thin, strong or frail, enterprising or sluggish, full of knowledge or ignorance, life or death... Sleep affects us too much. Give yourself a comfortable sleep and start practicing yoga! (Editor in charge: Teng Yun)
