How to prevent falling pillow?
① pay attention to strengthening physical exercise.
take part in physical exercise, especially strengthen the neck movement, and avoid the shoulder and neck muscles being restrained for too long due to the fatigue of long-time office and study.
② pay attention to sleep posture and strengthen warmth preservation.
long time study and work will make the body feel tired and fall asleep immediately after falling into bed. However, before going to bed, you must adjust your sleep posture. You should put your shoulders against the lower edge of the pillow and cover your shoulders with towels and clothes to prevent cold from invading the body from the shoulders and neck; Adjust the position of head and neck at night to make the blood circulation smooth; Don’t expose your shoulders and neck. Sleep in an air-conditioned room with air conditioning on for a long time. In winter or in low temperature weather, we should do a good job in keeping shoulders and neck warm.
③ keep warm and walk more.
usually & ldquo; Sigh & rdquo; Air conditioning is an incentive to fall asleep. Don’t blow the cold wind directly at people. If you work for a long time, you should keep warm and walk around after working for a period of time to improve blood circulation. Also be careful when sleeping. Due to the cold weather, people tend to sleep more heavily and turn less. They keep their neck bent for a long time. If the quilt doesn’t cover the neck, once the neck gets cold, it will cause poor blood flow and lead to pillow.
④ to avoid pillow falling, first keep a good sleeping position and choose a suitable pillow.
pillow height is 5 & mdash; 10 cm is enough, preferably flat with the shoulder. The pillow is too high, which will make the anterior inclination of the cervical spine too large, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the head. Secondly, the pillow should be elastic. The pillow core can be grain shell, kapok, hollow high elastic cotton, and equipped with pure cotton pillow towel. Strong pillows will not relax the local muscles of the neck, and it is easy to feel tired after sleeping; Too soft pillows are easy to & ldquo; Sink & rdquo; If you go down, it won’t cushion up.
⑤ prevent the repeated occurrence of pillow fall, which can avoid the possible cervical spondylosis caused by repeated pillow fall. Therefore, good work and rest habits should be developed.
when reading and practicing calligraphy, the neck should not maintain the same posture for too long. You should exercise more and do more pitching and rotation activities of the head and neck, so as to relax the muscles and activate the collaterals and enhance the muscle strength of the neck. Old people with weak Qi and blood can eat some blood tonic products.
