The influence of the earth's magnetic field on sleep The earth is a huge magnetic field, and its magnetic lines come out from the North Pole and cross the earth's surface into the South Pole. So, is sleeping in the east and sleeping in the west a taboo? Most of the rooms in China are placed with beds in the east-west direction, that is to say, when people sleep, their heads face east or west, perpendicular to the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines. People think that the earth's magnetic field will affect the bioelectric current of human body. In order to achieve a new balance, the human body must consume a lot of heat energy to improve its metabolic ability, and sleep is disturbed, so it is not good to sleep with your head facing east and your feet facing west.
1, TCM view on sleep
Chinese medicine says that the human body should? Vertical pulse? 、? Upright? . This? Standing? In fact, it means that the direction of qi pulse in the body is consistent with the direction of nature, so that blood vessels are unobstructed. We know that the terrain of our country is high in the west and low in the east. Along the mountain and water potential, the direction of airflow is northwest to southeast. Therefore, when people sleep, their heads face northwest and their feet face southeast, so that the qi pulse of the human body is consistent with nature. The second direction is that the head faces west and the feet face east, or the head faces north and the feet face south.
2. It is recommended to take a nap.
You can take a nap at noon, but the time is best controlled at around 1 hour, and it is best not to sleep after 3 pm. Regular work and rest is not only beneficial to sleep, but also can improve your attention and work efficiency. Even for busy professionals, it's not impossible to stick to a regular schedule, just whether you are willing or not.
3. Correct sleeping position
Scientific research shows that people's correct sleeping direction is that their heads face north and their feet face south. This is based on traditional residential buildings, paying attention to sitting north facing south; Indoor beds are usually placed in the east-west direction. Because many experts believe that sleeping with your head facing south or north and south is good for your health. Because the earth is a big magnetic field, the magnetic lines run through the north and south.
When you sleep with your head facing east and your feet facing west, your body direction is perpendicular to the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines, so the bioelectric current in your body will be affected. So as to achieve a new equilibrium state, people often consume huge heat in the body. However, massive calorie sleep will interfere with the quality of sleep, which is also contrary to the principle of establishing pulse and regulating qi in traditional Chinese medicine. So, is sleeping in the east and sleeping in the west a taboo? It is recommended to try not to sleep like this.
