Aerobic exercises will improve oxygen consumption and will prepare the body for peaceful sleep. But it should be done at least three hours before going to bed. 有氧运动可促进氧的消耗,为身体进入良好的睡眠状态做好准备。但该运动应在睡前三小时进行。
Taking a nap between 11 am to 1 pm, a traditional practice in China, is healthy, too, although many people have dropped the habit due to their faster-paced life. 中国人习惯在上午11点到下午1点之间午睡一会儿,这也有益于健康,尽管许多人因为生活节奏的加快已经放弃了这种习惯。
"A nap should not be too long. About 15 to 30 minutes are enough," Li notes. "The quality of sleep is more important than the length." 李大夫指出:“午睡时间不宜过长,15至30分钟就足够了。睡眠质量比睡眠时间长短更重要。”
For the elderly, who often have insomnia, perhaps due to chronic diseases, a good night's sleep is extremely important. 对于可能因慢性疾病而导致经常失眠的老年人来说,良好的睡眠是极其重要的。
Li and his colleagues have found that a restful sleep will improve the condition of patients, which will in turn improve the sleep. And vice versa. 李大夫和他的同事们发现,高质量的睡眠会改善病状,而病状的改善又有助于睡眠。反之亦然。

"If patients cannot sleep well, taking some TCM will be helpful, but that must be conducted under a doctors' guidance," Li says.
