| 睡眠的十大忌1)忌仰睡
可免手放在胸部，壓迫心肺，而且仰臥時舌根部往後墜縮，影響呼吸， 容易發出鼾聲。此外，伏臥會壓迫胸腹，左而臥會壓迫心臟，均屬不當。惟有『右臥如弓』最能使全身肌肉鬆弛、肝血流增多、呼吸通暢。
2)忌睡前思緒萬千：
宋代蔡季通 〈睡訣〉 中說：「早晚以時，先睡心，後睡眼」。現代研究約80﹪的失眠是精神疾病所造成，因此，懂得舒解壓力，以及避免杞人憂天等情緒， 是很重要的。
3)忌說話：
孔子雲：「食不言，寢不語」，蓋因睡前嘮叨不絕會使思緒興奮，大腦不得安寧，因而影響入睡。
4)忌飲酒飽食：
古人認為「胃不和則臥不安」，今人認為睡前三小時不進食，可使胃部獲得充份休息，但有時一杯熱牛奶可免因飢餓而睡不好。至於喝少量的酒， 則可以鬆弛減少緊張，過量的酒則適得其反，況且酒精會加速腦細胞的老化，因此中年酒癮患者的睡眠型態與不喝酒的老年人相似。
5)忌睡中開燈：
中國醫學認為，從寤入寐，進入睡眠狀態，是一個引陽入陰的過程。醒時屬陽，睡時屬陰，光亮屬陽，黑暗屬陰。
6)忌蒙面睡：
古人有「夜臥不覆首」的說法，因為睡覺時用被子蒙住頭面，會使人吸入大量的二氧化碳，發生呼吸困難。
7)忌當風而睡：
古書 〈瑣碎錄〉 說，臥處不可當風，當風「恐患頭風，背受風則嗽，肩受風則臂疼，善調攝者，雖盛暑不可當風及坐臥露下。」現代生活中的電風扇，在睡眠中亦當小心，因為人在睡眠中，生理機能較低，抵抗力較弱。
8)忌張口呼吸：
中國古代藥王孫思邈說：夜臥常習閉口」因為張口呼吸，空氣未經鼻腔「預熱」、「過濾」處理，容易引起咽乾咳嗽或其它感染。
9)忌睡中忍便：
現代研究認為，憋尿忍便對人體均有害處, 也會影響睡眠。
10)忌貪睡懶覺：
〈內經〉 中早有「早睡早起」「久臥傷氣」的告誡，故而睡眠應以醒為度， 睡懶覺對人體是有害的 |
