What to do if you suffer from insomnia and forgetfulness

Modern people are under a lot of pressure, and the pressure is very great, such as work pressure, life pressure, study pressure, etc. If these negative emotions cannot be relieved in time, it is easy to cause insomnia. Insomnia is a very common phenomenon in life. Occasional insomnia generally does not affect physical health, but frequent insomnia will not only lead to forgetfulness, but also affect people's physical health.

From a medical perspective, insomnia is a sleep disorder that refers to the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, leading to insufficient sleep, including difficulty falling asleep, shallow sleep, early awakening, insufficient sleep, and poor sleep quality.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotional discomfort, liver depression, heat, and disturbing the mind can cause insomnia; excessive worry and anxiety can damage the spleen and produce phlegm and heat, which can also disturb the mind and cause insomnia; long-term illness and exhaustion can lead to deficiency of the heart and spleen, and mental malnutrition is also an important cause of insomnia; if the kidney yin is deficient below and cannot restrain the heart yang, the heart fire is alone above, which is also a common cause of insomnia. Modern people face pressure from study, work, life, etc. Many negative emotions cannot be resolved and released in time, and over time they become the culprit of insomnia.

In addition, poor spleen and stomach function is also a common cause of insomnia. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states: "If the stomach is not in harmony, sleeping is not comfortable." Modern people's pace of life is fast and their diet is irregular, which can easily cause spleen and stomach dysfunction, leading to poor sleep quality.

Insomnia is not a serious disease, but long-term insomnia will bring many health risks to the body and seriously affect the patient's normal life and work. If you don't sleep well at night, you will be lack of energy during the day, have low work efficiency, be nervous and irritable, depressed and annoyed, and in severe cases, it will lead to pessimism and pessimism. Long-term insomnia will also lead to a decrease in the body's own immunity and the ability to resist various diseases. If it is not treated in time, it will lead to memory loss, headaches, lack of energy during the day, dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, neurasthenia, etc.

Insomnia is caused by emotions, which damage the internal organs. To have a good sleep, you must soothe the liver and purge fire, remove phlegm and clear heat, nourish yin and reduce fire, strengthen the spleen and calm the heart, warm the gallbladder and replenish qi, and replenish the deficiency and purge the excess. Insomnia can be treated by nourishing the body internally with medicine and food and regulating the meridians externally.
