Wake up early: waking up early is a common feature of the elderly. The reason why the elderly generally wake up early is related to the frequent deficiency of both qi and blood, kidney deficiency and physical aging. The phenomenon of waking up early is to remind the elderly that their bodies are deficient in qi and blood and their bodies are beginning to age. It is necessary to take timely measures to replenish energy for the body and protect, keep warm and protect the kidneys in time. Early risers should be carefully distinguished. Some people go to bed late and get up early, while others go to bed early and get up early. It is not normal to go to bed late and wake up early. If it's because of going to bed early and getting up early, it's normal. Early to bed and early to rise is a good habit. After getting up early, eat a digestible and nutritious breakfast, and then go out for morning exercise. A healthy day starts now, which is very beneficial to health. Of course, going to bed early and getting up early also has a problem. The key is to ensure adequate sleep. Generally speaking, the elderly can sleep for 6-7 hours, even if they have enough sleep.

Therefore, staying awake for a long time after waking up in the middle of the night is a sign of aging, and aging is related to deficiency of both qi and blood. For those who often wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep for a long time, my suggestion is: we must strengthen diet therapy and eat more digestible, stewed or nutritious paste food. If these people are accompanied by nocturia, it means that they have kidney deficiency. At this time, we must pay attention to tonifying kidney and warming kidney, don't catch cold or eat cold food, and eat more kidney-tonifying food. After a period of careful conditioning, we will find that they will fall asleep soon after waking up in the middle of the night, and the number of nocturia will gradually decrease.

When someone tells me that they can't sleep long after waking up in the middle of the night, I also suggest that they can get up and eat something. What should they eat? Eating a spoonful of angelica powder, or eating a spoonful of solid cream, or eating a few biscuits, or eating a piece of chocolate to replenish energy for the body, and then going to sleep, it is easier to fall asleep. If you still can't sleep, soak your feet with warm water after eating and wait until your whole body is hot before going to sleep. It seems troublesome to do so. It takes more than half an hour to eat and soak your feet, but it's worth it than lying in bed for hours without sleeping. So when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep for a long time, don't lie in bed, get up and give your body some energy. Soaking feet can promote blood circulation and temporarily improve sleep.

People who can't sleep for a long time after waking up in the middle of the night can also try to massage Baihui point on the top of their heads, leading their blood to their heads, and massage Baihui point for about 100 times, just like combing their hair. Many people will fall asleep slowly after combing Baihui point. Of course, to solve the problem fundamentally, we should strengthen diet therapy, replenish blood and kidney, and avoid the phenomenon that we can't sleep for a long time after waking up in the middle of the night. Even if these situations occur, we can adjust them in time.
