A good night’s sleep not only strengthens and revitalizes the body, but also protects the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) encourages health “preservation in spring,” “growth in summer,” “harvest in autumn,” and “storage in winter.” How do we achieve growth in summer? The key is good quality, restorative sleep so as not to “hurt the heart.”
