Q Even after sleeping a long time, I never wake up feeling refreshed and my body just won't come alive. How can I improve my sleep quality?
A Regularity and quality matter more than sleep duration. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, getting morning sunlight, and avoiding your smartphone and caffeine before bed all help your morning alertness become more natural.
Detailed Answer
In what's called adrenal fatigue, it is common to sleep without feeling refreshed and for the body not to fully wake up. Keeping consistent bed and wake times, getting sunlight in the morning to set your alertness rhythm, and avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and bright screens for several hours before bed all help. Not overexerting yourself during the day also helps protect the quality of your nighttime sleep.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
In Korean medicine, lowering excess heat that has risen during the day and replenishing depleted bodily fluids are seen as necessary for deep sleep. At Dongjedang, during the balance-restoring phase, we settle heat that has risen to the upper body and calm an overstimulated system, helping your sleep time translate into real recovery and restoring natural morning alertness.
