Some people must soak their feet before going to bed, some people must turn on the lights when sleeping, some people don’t like to sleep on the pillow, and some people must take off all their clothes before going to bed.

Regardless of lifestyle and bedtime habits, people spend an average of nearly 1/3 of their lives in bed.

The few hours every night when you crawl into bed, turn off the lights, lie on your side and look at your phone are the time in your life that truly belongs to you.

You know, some people have to lie at home for 2 days on weekends, so today we are going to talk about "the knowledge about bed that adults must know".

No.1 Modern Sleep Science

1. Nude Sleeping Health

Sleeping naked, as the name suggests, means not wearing a single piece of clothing. Of course, wearing only underwear is also considered sleeping naked, but it is not completely naked enough.

Sleeping naked has no conditions and the enjoyment is not limited. Some people say that sleeping naked is one of the greatest pleasures in life, and it can be summed up in one word: awesome!

In addition to the physical comfort, sleeping naked actually has health-preserving functions:

Because when sleeping naked, the body's muscles and skin are in a relaxed state. Sleeping naked can relieve daytime muscle tension and keep the skin's metabolic channels unobstructed, which can promote blood circulation, reduce stress, and beautify the skin in one step.

In addition, sleeping naked can help the skin better sense the temperature of the environment, thereby regulating the body temperature and making the sleep rhythm more normal. In other words, it can improve the quality of sleep. Without the restraint of underwear, the reproductive organs can be more breathable and comfortable during sleep, and intimate contact can be more relaxed and natural. Therefore, sleeping naked has also made an indelible contribution to promoting the health of both sexes and responding to the national two-child policy.

2. Bed recognition psychology

When you arrive at a new place, you have trouble sleeping. Ordinary young people call this "bed-settling", while scientific young people call this the "first night effect".

Because you are in a new environment, your brain cannot be sure whether this place is safe.

So half of the brain will sleep, and the other half will not sleep so deeply.

In this way, if something comes to steal your money, kill you, or even eat you, there will be no hindrance.

Therefore, during the process of evolution, the brain has retained a certain degree of vigilance towards unfamiliar environments and can wake you up immediately.

It is simple to solve this problem. One way is to go out often when you have nothing to do and stay in a hotel. Your brain will gradually get used to it.

Another approach is: don't solve the problem.

The reason why the "first night effect" is called "first night" is because of this situation. It will generally disappear on its own by the second night, so it would be better to stay a few more nights.

No.2 Serious knowledge in bed

1. Wash and change bed sheets frequently

If you don't have the good habit of changing your sheets regularly, mites will settle down in your bed, and their descendants will be endless. Mites will also crawl on your body when you sleep, giving you goose bumps. It's even more of a disaster for fairies with sensitive skin. Unexplained itching and redness, and large areas of acne on the back are largely caused by mites.

Be sure to wash and dry your sheets and pillowcases frequently! The frequency of washing and changing is generally every 2-3 weeks. After changing to clean sheets, you can sleep more peacefully (you can also change to more beautiful four-piece sets). High-temperature washing or exposure to the sun is a good way to remove mites from sheets. When washing sheets, add antibacterial laundry detergent to improve the mite removal effect.

It is recommended to replace the pillow core once a year

It is best to replace the mattress every five years

2. Getting up early and folding the quilt is not necessarily a good habit

People excrete 260 ml of water when they sleep every night. If you fold the quilt immediately after getting up, the water will be rolled into the quilt and cannot evaporate, which can easily breed bacteria.

Leaving the quilt spread out will help moisture dissipate and reduce bacterial growth.

Xiao Tang can say responsibly: As long as my mother doesn't find out, there is basically no other problem if I don't fold the quilt after getting up in the morning.

3. Is it better to sleep on a hard or soft bed?

A bed that is too soft or too hard is bad for your health, so a good mattress is very important.

A soft bed can cause spinal deformation; while a hard bed prevents muscles from relaxing when sleeping, which can lead to back pain.

Mattresses are also divided into thick and thin types. When choosing, it is best to meet the 3:1 standard:

That is, a 6cm mattress can sink 2cm, and a 9cm mattress can sink 3cm.

This ratio is moderate in hardness and softness.

4. When sleeping on a cool mat in summer, be sure to clean it frequently.

It is said that in places like Guangdong, many people's summer is like this: withered vines, old trees, crows, air conditioners, cool mats, and watermelons.

However, people who like to sleep on a cool mat should still pay attention to cleaning, because sweat likes to get into the gaps of the cool mat, and unknowingly, a large number of bacteria will breed:

For the sake of health, it is best to wipe the mat once a day, wash it and dry it once a week.

5. The pillow is not a pillow, it is used to support your neck!

Have you ever had this experience: you were fine before going to bed, but when you woke up in the morning, you had a stiff neck. Your neck hurt so much that you couldn't move. You tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. No matter how you lay down, you felt uncomfortable. When you woke up, your back and waist were sore, as if you had just slept for a while. You may have used the wrong pillow. If you want to have a good sleep, of course you must first have a pillow that suits you. There has always been a misunderstanding that pillows are used to support your head, but in fact, they are not. The function of pillows is to support your neck.

Therefore, the traditional flat pillow is not healthy. It can only support the head, leaving the neck empty and without a support point, which can easily aggravate cervical spine problems. A pillow that is too high will also affect the health of the cervical spine.

If the pillow is too low, the neck will be in an extended position. Many people snore when they sleep, partly because the pillow is too low.

I recommend pillows such as B-type pillows and bread pillows. They fit the neck and have a natural curve. They can provide sufficient support whether you sleep on your back or on your side. I give them full marks for comfort.
