What are the taboos when sleeping

Good sleep quality is essential for good health, but there are some important taboos to avoid before and during sleep.

Before going to bed, you should be careful to take or avoid taking some drugs that may affect sleep. For example, diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide can cause increased urination at night and disrupt sleep; antihypertensive drugs such as clonidine can cause low blood pressure at night and affect sleep; some antidepressants may also cause insomnia. Especially the use of sleeping pills, although they can help you fall asleep, long-term use may cause dependence, and overdose can lead to poisoning, so you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions.

Drinks or foods containing caffeine can stimulate the nervous system and affect sleep.

Strong exercise will put the body and brain in a state of excitement, which is not conducive to falling asleep.

The blue light from electronic screens can inhibit the production of melatonin and affect sleep quality.

Eating a large amount will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and affect sleep. Although drinking alcohol may make people feel sleepy in a short period of time, it will actually destroy the sleep structure and lead to a decrease in sleep quality.

In short, in order to maintain good sleep quality, you should avoid the above taboos, create a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment, and establish good sleeping habits.
