Traditional Chinese Medicine experts are suggesting that people sleep one extra hour each day during hot weather periods, according to Shanghai Daily. Generally, sleeping between midnight and 4am is best, since the organs need that time to rest, and an one hour nap at noon can decrease the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in seniors. Personally, we'd love to take that allotted one hour nap time (especially considering the temperatures these days)... unfortunately, noon's about the time that the endless construction around the city - and our building - starts. Do TCM practitioners have any tips for sleeping through drilling noises so loud they shake our apartments?
Sleeping an extra hour in hot weather good for your health

I wonder how my internal organs know what time it is? When you travel, do you stick with Beijing time, or adjust the timing?
TCM = TBS
One extra hour?!?
Thats all Chinese people do is sleep. I walk in the office and they are sleeping at their desk. I go out for my lunch and they turn off the lights and go to sleep at their desk. I ask them what they are doing over the weekend and they respond "watch a dvd, catch up on sleeping".
