A few days ago, I received a letter from a fan, saying that I have been deeply troubled by insomnia in recent years, although there is no problem in falling asleep, but the quality of sleep is very poor, it is difficult to fall asleep, I only feel that I am dreaming all night, and a little noise can wake me up.
Obviously, I also have 6 to 7 hours of sleep every day, but I am always sleepy during the day, I have no energy, I can't lift myself up for anything, I can't check what the problem is when I go to the hospital, and I don't know what is going on.
Insomnia does not only include difficulty falling asleep, dreams and easy to wake up belong to the category of insomnia.
Transient insomnia does not need to worry too much, the body can adjust itself, but if it is long-term insomnia, it must be adjusted in time to avoid affecting health.
【Chinese Medicine's Understanding of the Causes of Insomnia】
1. Yin and yang imbalance
Chinese medicine believes that yin and yang are balanced, and sleep can be normal. The Lingshu Oral Questions mentions that "when the yang qi is exhausted, the yin qi is strong, then the eyes are blind", and the "Lingshu Da Confused Treatise No. 80" mentions: "Wei Qi shall not enter the yin, and always stay in the yang." If you stay in the yang, you will be full of yang qi, and if you are not allowed to enter the yin, you will be weak, so you will not be blind. It can be seen that "yin and yang dissociation" is the root cause of insomnia.
2. Camp guard disorder
Chinese medicine believes that camp qi and guard qi are nutrients of the human body, of which "clear person" is camp qi, "turbid person" is guard gas, and guard qi travels on the surface of the body during the day and in the internal organs at night, which is in harmony with the camp qi, so that the organs are peaceful and sleep smoothly. If the camp guard is out of balance, "the guard qi walks alone in the yang, not in the yin, so it is not allowed to sleep."
3. Dysfunction of the five viscera
