2、 Let the body cool down and expose one foot outside the quilt
Why is it always good to sleep in the cold winter? Because when the human body is at high temperature, the sympathetic nerve is operating, and people’s alertness and attention are relatively high. On the contrary, when the parasympathetic nerve is operating, people will relax. Therefore, sleep should be started, and it is a good way to cool the body. As long as the body temperature is slightly lowered by about 1 to 2 degrees, the brain can turn into sleep. Try to expose one foot outside the quilt. When exposed to cold air, other parts of the body will also receive the message to cool down. Instead, they will enter the parasympathetic operation stage that makes the body sleep. The principle of exposing the feet is that there is no sweat hair on the soles of the feet and palms to help keep warm. Besides, it is the junction of the arteries and veins of the body, that is, the heat sink of the body. Therefore, when the soles of the feet are exposed to cold air, the temperature of the blood in the blood vessels will drop, and then through circulation, the temperature of each place will drop.
