Doctors share 5 ways to sleep deeply without medicine by keeping warm: 1) Keep the feet warm: Soak feet in warm ginger water nightly to boost vitality and relax the body. 2) Eat warm foods: Avoid cold or spicy late-night snacks to keep digestion calm and support deep sleep. 3) Avoid late-night cold: Don’t shower late with cold water; it chills the body, disrupting sleep energy. 4) Create a cozy bedroom: Use soft, natural bedding and keep the room at 20-23ºC [68–73°F] to comfort the mind. 5) Breathe deeply: Practice slow belly breathing before bed to calm the mind (Đạo Dưỡng Sinh)

According to traditional Chinese medicine, certain actions at specific times can drain your yang [active] energy, leading to fatigue and poor health. Here are 4 critical times to avoid harmful habits, linked to specific organs’ peak activity:

1) 5–7 AM (Large Intestine): Yang energy begins to rise, and the large intestine is most active, clearing toxins. Avoid sleeping in or using electronics. Wake up, drink warm water, and move gently to activate digestion and clear toxins, boosting yang energy for the day. 2) 11 AM–1 PM (Heart): The heart’s yang energy peaks during this time, needing rest to pump blood effectively. Avoid overworking, eating quickly, or arguing. Eat calmly, rest for 15–20 minutes, and relax to protect your energy and maintain mental clarity. 3) 5–7 PM (Kidneys): The kidneys, the root of yang energy, recover during this time. Avoid intense exercise, cold drinks, or stress. Opt for light activities like walking, warm food, and foot soaks to nurture kidney yang energy and preserve long-term vitality. 4) 9 PM–1 AM (Gallbladder, Liver): This is when yang energy retreats to the liver and gallbladder for detoxification and renewal. Avoid late-night eating, phone use, or staying up late. Sleep by 11 PM to ensure proper restoration of the body’s energy.

By aligning daily habits with these time periods— waking early, eating mindfully, resting strategically, and sleeping on time— you can help preserve yang energy, improve health, and enhance longevity without relying on supplements or complex treatments (Đạo Dưỡng Sinh)
