Why Do I Always Have Poor Sleep in Spring?
In spring, yang energy begins to rise. The body needs to gradually wake up from the "storage" state of winter. Many people feel sleepy during the day and have trouble sleeping at night, which is commonly known as "spring sleepiness." In fact, this often occurs because the sleep schedule does not match the changes in the seasons.
A Simple Tip: Brush Your Hair in the Morning to Awaken Yang Energy
Today, I only share one simple and gentle habit for better sleep in spring - brushing your hair in the morning. Don't underestimate this action; it aligns with the characteristic of spring "yang energy rising upwards," helping you stay alert during the day and sleep soundly at night.
How to Do It Specifically?
- After waking up in the morning, first drink half a glass of warm water, then sit by the bed or by the window.
- Use a wide-toothed wooden comb (or directly use your fingers) starting from the center of your forehead, slowly combing towards the back of your head, with gentle pressure.
- Brush 50-100 times, about 3-5 minutes, until your scalp feels slightly warm.
- While brushing, breathe deeply and look into the distance outside the window, experiencing the morning natural light.
Why Does This Help You Sleep Better?
According to traditional Chinese medicine, "the head is where all yang energies converge," gathering multiple yang meridians. Brushing your hair in the morning is like refueling the body's yang energy, helping it rise smoothly, keeping you energetic during the day; when yang energy rises well during the day, it naturally converges into yin at night, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully. This is a balanced mechanism that follows nature, gentle and without any risks.
Summary
The golden rule for good sleep in spring is not taking supplements or forcing yourself to go to bed early, but waking up according to the seasonal changes, brushing your hair, and feeling the sunlight, allowing your body to find balance in rhythm. By sticking to this small habit, you can enjoy peaceful sleep every night, and naturally have more energy.
