What kind of sleep habits are bad? Many people's sleep habits, but they do not pay attention to the significant impact on their health in the long run. So which sleep habits are not good? The small edge below will introduce it to you.
A person spends one-third of their life sleeping, so if your sleep habits are not good, it can cause great harm to your body. Especially the following habits, women should be absolutely prohibited.
1. Get angry before bedtime
Anger before bedtime can increase one's heart rate, shortness of breath, and a multitude of thoughts, making it difficult to fall asleep.
2. Full meal before bedtime
If you eat too much before bedtime, the gastrointestinal tract should strengthen digestion. A stomach filled with food constantly stimulates the brain. If the brain is excited, people will not fall asleep safely. As traditional Chinese medicine says, if your stomach is not harmonious, you will feel uneasy.
3. Drinking tea before bedtime
Tea contains substances such as caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and make people excited. If you drink tea before bedtime, especially strong tea, the central nervous system will become more excited, making it difficult for people to fall asleep.
4. Vigorous exercise
Intense activity before bedtime can cause the nerve cells in the brain that control muscle activity to exhibit a strong state of excitement. This excitement will not calm down in a short period of time, so people cannot fall asleep quickly. Therefore, you should try to stay calm before going to bed, but you may want to do some light activities, such as walking.
5. Pillow too high
From a physiological perspective, a pillow of 8-12 centimeters is suitable. If it is too low, it can easily cause pillows, or due to excessive blood flowing into the brain, the brain will rise the next day and the eyelids will swell; If it is too high, it will affect the smoothness of the suction tract, making it easy to snore. Long term pillows can easily cause neck discomfort or hunchback.
6. Sleeping with hands on the pillow
When sleeping, placing your hands under your head not only affects blood circulation and causes numbness and pain in the upper limbs, but also increases abdominal pressure. Over time, reflux esophagitis can also occur. Therefore, when sleeping, one should not use both hands as pillows.
7. Cover your head with a quilt
Being masked can easily cause difficulty breathing; Meanwhile, inhaling one's own carbon dioxide is extremely detrimental to health. Babies should not do this, as there is a risk of suffocation.
8. Open mouth breathing
Sleeping with your mouth closed at night is the best way to maintain vitality. Opening your mouth not only inhales dust, but also easily stimulates the trachea, lungs, and ribs to be stimulated by cold air. It is best to inhale through the nose. Nose hair can block some dust, and the nasal cavity can heat the cold air inhaled, which is beneficial for health.
