| "Aerobic exercises, such as jogging, playing badminton and swimming, are also beneficial to good sleep," Li adds. |
李大夫補充說：“有氧運動，如跑步、羽毛球和游泳，也有助于睡眠的改善。”。 |
| Aerobic exercises will improve oxygen consumption and will prepare the body for peaceful sleep. But it should be done at least three hours before going to bed. |
有氧運動可促進氧的消耗，為身體進入良好的睡眠狀態做好準備。但該運動應在睡前三小時進行。 |
| Taking a nap between 11 am to 1 pm, a traditional practice in China, is healthy, too, although many people have dropped the habit due to their faster-paced life. |
中國人習慣在上午11點到下午1點之間午睡一會兒，這也有益于健康，盡管許多人因為生活節奏的加快已經放棄了這種習慣。 |
| "A nap should not be too long. About 15 to 30 minutes are enough," Li notes. "The quality of sleep is more important than the length." |
李大夫指出：“午睡時間不宜過長，15至30分鐘就足夠了。睡眠質量比睡眠時間長短更重要。” |
| For the elderly, who often have insomnia, perhaps due to chronic diseases, a good night's sleep is extremely important. |
對于可能因慢性疾病而導致經常失眠的老年人來說，良好的睡眠是極其重要的。 |
| Li and his colleagues have found that a restful sleep will improve the condition of patients, which will in turn improve the sleep. And vice versa. |
李大夫和他的同事們發現，高質量的睡眠會改善病狀，而病狀的改善又有助于睡眠。反之亦然。 |
|
"If patients cannot sleep well, taking some TCM will be helpful, but that must be conducted under a doctors' guidance," Li says.
