Insomnia related to insufficient qi and blood? The transition from summer to autumn improves sleep from 3 o’clock. Sleep better in the future.

Insomnia, that is, when the quality of sleep fails to meet the body’s normal needs, manifested as difficulty falling asleep, light sleep, easy awakening, or early awakening, is a common problem for modern people, affecting their daily life, work, and study. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is related to insufficiency of qi and blood. Insufficiency of qi and blood means that the body’s vitality and nutrients are not abundant, which may lead to weakened organ functions, thereby affecting the peace of mind and sleep quality, forming a vicious cycle. With the transition of seasons from summer to autumn, climate changes can often affect one’s qi, blood, and sleep. To alleviate this issue, you can start from three aspects: 1. Dietary adjustments: Traditional Chinese medicine advocates “harmonious stomach leads to peaceful sleep”, and a reasonable diet greatly benefits sleep. In the autumn, it is suitable to consume ingredients like lily bulbs, longan, lotus seeds, which can help calm the mind, nourish the heart, and nourish the blood. At the same time, increasing calcium-rich foods such as milk, tofu, benefits sleep, but reducing intake of spicy foods, caffeine, and avoiding late dinners can prevent sleep disturbances. 2. Cultivating good sleep habits: Maintain a regular schedule to allow the body to adapt to a fixed sleep pattern. Establish bedtime rituals, such as avoiding electronic screen interference, creating a comfortable sleep environment. Moderate daytime exercise promotes the circulation of qi and blood, but strenuous exercise before sleep is not advisable. Relaxing methods like taking a bath, foot soak, listening to light music can assist in falling asleep quickly. 3. Attitude and mental relaxation: Mental stress and pressure are common causes of insomnia. During seasonal transitions, it is particularly important to adjust one’s mindset, use deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and other methods to reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. Insomnia and insufficiency of qi and blood interact with each other, especially during seasonal changes. By adjusting diet, habits, and mindset, sleep can be effectively improved. However, if insomnia is severe and affecting quality of life, seeking professional medical help promptly is necessary to avoid self-medication or treatment, as it may lead to adverse consequences. Under the guidance of a doctor, traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as herbal medicine to tonify qi and blood, acupuncture, or massage can scientifically restore bodily health.
