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?

       

Ah, this takes us back to when we were just wee High School kids running amok in Shanghai. After a night of partying, one of our crew realized he had nowhere to go back to, since the person whose house he was supposed to be “sleeping over” at had left hours ago. The rest of us being female and 17 (with somewhat conservative parents), couldn't offer him our couches.
