Sleeping every day is the same as going on a free trip, as soon as you fall asleep, you start, your mind is like a movie, it won't stop all night, it's more difficult to fall asleep, sleep is shallow, and you have many dreams. Sometimes I can't sleep all night, it's really uncomfortable.
So how can insomnia have anything to do with the kidneys? Because the kidneys are subordinate to water, and the heart is subordinate to fire. The normal state is when the yin and yang of the human body are balanced, the water in the body is heated and goes up, the water is not cold, and the body is not cold; When the fire is cold, it will not be too hot, and there will be no fire in the heart.
The fire of the heart is like the sun in the sky, and the water of the kidneys is like the vast ocean. The sun must warm the earth, evaporate water vapor, and then rain, so that all things can grow and the body will be healthy, which is also the intersection of water and fire, yin and yang. In a state of yin and yang, people sleep more soundly.
However, if the kidney is deficient or the heart fire is too excessive, the heart and kidney are not connected, the heart fire will be too prosperous without water inhibition, and the false fire will disturb people's minds and minds, and the thoughts will be disturbed and more exaggerated at night, and people will have insomnia, and they will not be able to sleep.
