The pressure of work, study and social intercourse of modern people is often great, and the resulting physical and mental fatigue and mental ill health also occur from time to time. Some friends would like to go to bed immediately after a day's work, but they will encounter many sleep quality problems. It is believed that many people will wake up suddenly at about 3 or 4 a.m. when they sleep, and then become difficult to sleep. As a result, they are still tired when they get up, affecting their normal work efficiency.
Always wake up in the middle of the night, and be sure to pay attention to it. The underlying cause of this sleep disorder may be the type of disease. If you have similar symptoms, please go to the doctor for examination in time and do not delay.
Insufficient Qi and blood
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is about 3:00 a.m. when Qi and blood are distributed through the lung meridian. At this time, the basic metabolic efficiency of the body has slowed down, and the speed of blood circulation and material transport is relatively slow. If you have anemia symptoms, it is easy to have insufficient red blood cell transport capacity and decreased oxygen supply of internal organs at this stage, and then stimulate the peripheral nerve bundles to restore brain perception. Anemia is a common symptom of modern people, especially the middle-aged women after the age of 40. Because of the changes in their hormone secretion and mineral absorption efficiency, they are more likely to have this kind of performance. Don't forget to fully supplement iron and exercise properly at ordinary times, so as to regulate the health of Qi and blood.
Myocardial ischemia
Friends who wake up in the middle of the night may often feel a palpitation and panic after waking up, and in serious cases, they may have arrhythmia and weak heart muscle. Due to overwork at ordinary times and inappropriate conditioning methods, modern middle-aged and old people generally have problems in myocardial blood supply. Due to the lack of muscle vitality near the heart, the blood pumping and return flow are affected. At this time, the blood supply efficiency of the body is reduced and the nerves are stimulated. Naturally, signals will be transmitted to the brain center to wake up the brain function to regulate and cause alarm. If you have similar conditions, please treat them as soon as possible.
Excessive liver fire
1-3 a.m. is the time period for the liver to repair itself. At this time, the efficiency and activity of liver function will be reduced, so as to ensure the work intensity during the day. However, if you eat food with high heat and high oil before going to bed at night, or deliberately stay up until the early morning, the night work load of the liver will suddenly increase. At this time, the liver repair efficiency will be reduced and the liver fire will be weak, which will easily lead to the decline of sleep quality and the wake-up in the middle of the night.
Climacteric syndrome
Middle aged female friends who often wake up in the middle of the night may also have entered the menopause stage. Menopause is a relatively general term. During this period, women often feel powerless and depressed due to their reduced secretion of estrogen and progesterone, as well as degenerative changes in other physiological structures, and even their sleep quality will be affected. Moreover, this negative and low mood may also induce a variety of mental diseases, cause people to have psychological changes such as anxiety and depression, and further affect the quality of sleep, forming a vicious circle.
Therefore, no matter what kind of situation causes a wake-up call in the middle of the night, it should not be ignored. Timely recuperation should be carried out, and if necessary, medical treatment should be taken. Perhaps only in this way can we be prepared.
