2. Need to get rid of the bad habit of sleeping.

1, get angry before going to bed

Anger before going to bed will make people's heart beat faster, their breath will be short, and their thoughts will be myriad, making it difficult to fall asleep.

2. Have a big meal before going to bed

Eat too much before going to bed, the gastrointestinal tract needs to be digested, and a full stomach of food will constantly stimulate the brain. If the brain is excited, people will not sleep peacefully, just as Chinese medicine says, "stomach disharmony leads to restlessness."

Step 3 drink tea before going to bed

Tea contains caffeine and other substances, which will stimulate the central nervous system and make people excited. If you drink tea before going to bed, especially strong tea, the central nervous system will be more excited, making it difficult for people to fall asleep.

4, strenuous exercise

Intense activity before going to bed will make the nerve cells in the brain that control muscle activity show a very strong state of excitement. This excitement will not subside in a short time, and people will not fall asleep soon. Therefore, try to stay calm before going to bed, but do some light activities, such as walking.

5. The pillow is too high

Physiologically, the pillow should be 8 ~ 12 cm. Too low, it is easy to cause "stiff neck", or because too much blood flows into the brain, it causes brain swelling and eyelid edema the next day; If it is too high, it will affect the smoothness of the suction channel, and it is easy to snore, and long-term high pillow will easily lead to neck discomfort or hunchback.
