Q No matter how much I sleep, I never feel refreshed, and my body feels heavy in the morning. How can I improve sleep quality?
A Regularity and quality matter more than sleep duration. Going to bed and waking at the same time every day, and avoiding smartphones, caffeine, and overeating before bed, brings you closer to sleep that actually restores the body overnight.
Detailed Answer
Deep sleep is the key time when cells recharge energy and the body recovers. Keeping consistent bed and wake times, avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and late-night snacks for several hours before sleep, and reducing bright screen exposure all help. Not overexerting during the day also helps protect the quality of your night's sleep.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Korean medicine holds that heat that has built up during the day needs to be lowered and depleted bodily fluids replenished for deep sleep to follow. At Dongjedang, in the balancing stage, we settle heat that has risen to the upper body and calm an over-sensitized state, helping your sleep time actually translate into energy recovery.
