Discussion

Generally, formulas that help people to sleep are believed in China to benefit the Heart energy, as it is defined in Chinese health philosophy. If you have trouble falling asleep, you are said to be Heart Yin deficient. If you have trouble staying asleep, you are said to be Heart Blood deficient. Therefore, if you have trouble falling asleep, you will consume herbs that build Heart Yin – that is, a Heart Yin tonic. If you have trouble staying asleep, you will take a Heart Blood tonic. These formulations are designed to rebalance the situation, not just to knock you out.

Sleep is an essential element of health. Without deep sleep, physical and emotional disorders are inevitable. In order to sleep soundly, you need to be able to relax. If the body and mind are in balance and the systems are in harmony, you should sleep very well. In that case, you should need no special herbs to help you to fall asleep or to stay asleep. Achieving that state of balance is the goal of taking Chinese tonic herbs. Therefore, the following program should be considered only a temporary step on the path toward radiant health.

Certain formulations are very useful when consumed prior to bed time. They are Shen stabilizing formulations that allow you to let go of the problems of the world, at least for the time while you are sleeping.

Other Things to Think About

People’s sleep requirements vary widely. People who exercise heavily, require more sleep in order to repair tissue. When one awakens, they should feel refreshed and eager to begin the new day. They should feel energy immediately upon awakening. If you awaken tired every morning, you are Jing deficient.

It is best not to eat too soon before sleep. It is obviously not a good idea to consume caffeine or other stimulating nutrients within several hours of sleeping. Good exercise always helps people to sleep better.

“An honest person sleeps well. A person at peace with themselves sleeps best.”

Emotions should be stilled so that worry, anger, fear and the other emotions do not prevent sound sleep. The Zen master can fall asleep at will, within moments of making the decision to sleep. They will, however, be able to awaken instantly if they need to. You should be able to do the same

Shen tonics have spectacular benefits for people with insomnia. Over a period of time, you will not require Shen stabilizing formulas or any particular sleep-inducing herb or formulation. But you will need to maintain the three treasures, so a tonic program will be of great value at all times.

If You Sleep Too Much

If your sleeping problem is not insomnia, but oversleeping, you are probably Jing and Qi deficient. See the sections on Adaptability, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Exhaustion. And of course, maybe you’re just lazy, in which case you should refer to the section on Will Power.
