. Many people feel cold and uncomfortable when they sleep at night. Especially in winter, they are cold and can’t sleep. What’s the matter? Let’s have a look with you.
What are the causes of sleeping cold feet?
1 or insufficient Yang Qi
Yang Qi is the foundation of life, and warming the body is one of its important functions. If Yang Qi is insufficient and cannot be transported to the extremities of limbs and trunk such as hands and feet, cold fear and cold hands and feet will occur. Therefore, if you sleep at night, even if you have done a good warm keeping measure, or your feet are cold, you should be vigilant about whether it is lack of Yang.
2 or poor peripheral nerve circulation
cold feet when sleeping at night in winter is a normal physiological phenomenon, because the decrease of temperature will shrink blood vessels and weaken the ability of blood reflux, resulting in poor blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips and toes, and poor peripheral nerve circulation. In this case, wearing more clothes, eating warm food and moving more can promote reflux and alleviate the problem.
3, or heart weakness
sleeping cold feet have a great relationship with the heart and blood vessels, because the blood is sent out by the heart and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. After the oxygen is burned, it can produce heat energy and warm hands and feet. Once the function of the cardiovascular system is impaired, it will affect the operation and transportation of blood, and the blood cannot be supplied to the peripheral parts of the body, which may also cause cold feet in sleep.
4, or hormone affects

what harm does cold feet do?
1. Affecting work
sleeping feet are cold, the whole body shrinks into a ball, and people can’t sleep for a long time. Lead to insufficient sleep time, lack of sleep, energy will be greatly reduced the next day, and work efficiency will naturally be affected.
2. Insomnia
in the long-term evolution process, human beings have formed a unique best sleep time (nocturnal animals sleep during the day and come out at night), that is, from 11 pm to 7 am, sleeping feet are cold, resulting in long-term inability to sleep. Missing the best sleep time for a long time will lead to insomnia.
3. Cause visceral diseases
there are twelve meridians on the hands and feet (the so-called original acupoint is the acupoint that plays a leading role on this meridian. The corresponding viscera are very important, and the Gallbladder Meridian & mdash& mdash; Qiu ruins; Liver Meridian & mdash& mdash; Taichong; Small intestine meridian & mdash& mdash; Wrist valley; Heart Sutra & mdash& mdash; God gate; Stomach Meridian & mdash& mdash; Chong Yang; Spleen meridian & mdash& mdash; Too white; Large intestine meridian & mdash& mdash; Hegu; Lung Meridian & mdash& mdash; Taiyuan; Bladder Meridian & mdash& mdash; Beijing bone; Kidney Meridian & mdash& mdash; Taixi; Sanjiaojing & mdash& mdash; Yang pond; Pericardial meridian infusion point and original point are the same & mdash& mdash; Daling), and the hands and feet are the farthest organs from the centrifugal viscera. The cold hands and feet for a long time make it impossible to spread the Qi and blood to the original acupoints. If the Qi and blood at the original acupoints are not enough, its control effect on the corresponding meridians will be weakened, and its corresponding viscera will be affected, resulting in corresponding visceral diseases. This is also the reason why there are more patients in winter than in other seasons, Most old people die in winter.
4. Lead to rheumatic diseases
long-term cold of hands and feet directly leads to poor operation of Qi and blood of hands and feet and slow metabolism. The metabolites produced by the human body cannot be excreted, and the nutrients needed by the human body cannot reach the hands and feet, which is easy to cause rheumatoid diseases, such as rheumatoid heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
