Sleep quality trumps sleep quantity
"I have been in a bad mood recently. I don't seem to have energy for anything. I have dinner after work and go straight to bed. After 10 hours of sleep daily, I still feel tired. I wake up easily in the middle of the night and dream a lot. What can I do?"
CheckCheckCin: Chinese medicine theory believes that nourishing your body through food is better than medicine, and sleeping well is better than eating well. Sleep is an important thing in life, and it is ideal to have enough quality sleep so that you can be energized and have energy. From Chinese medicine perspective, difficulty falling asleep, easily awaken from sleep, difficulty going back to sleep after waking are all considered a form of insomnia. Insomnia is mostly related to these three organs- heart, liver and kidneys. If insomnia is accompanied by irritability, depression, bitter mouth, dry eyes, reddish and short urination and other symptoms, you likely have stagnation of liver qi and liver depression which can cause heat in body. You should drink more floral tea to relieve depression, and pay attention to the following tips to improve sleep quality.
Tips for better sleep:
- Do the right amount of cardio exercise during the day
- Do not become too hungry or too full before going to bed
- Put down the phone for at least half an hour before going to bed
- Avoid drinking tea, coffee, milk tea, alcoholic drinks before going to bed

Ever wonder though the emotions might be body constitution related? Those who often experience irritability, abdominal pain and gas, frequent farting, or stool that changes from solid to runny in same bowel movement, you may have qi stagnation body constitution!
