——摘自老中医的临终馈赠2
--Excerpt from an old, traditional medicine doctor's precious last words 2

大家都知道:宇宙的运行和人体的代谢是相互感应的，
As we all know, the operation of the universe and the metabolism of the human body are mutually inductive.
所谓冬藏春发夏长秋收，人体也一样，
The so-called winter collection, spring germination, summer growth, and autumn harvest of nature also suits the human body.
肾是先天之本，人老肾先衰，
Kidneys are the foundation of innate nature, failure first when people get old.
一年之中，冬天是养肾的最佳时间段，
Winter is the best season of the year to nurture the kidneys,
一天之中，晚上十一点到零晨两点是养肾的最佳时间段，
and the best time of the day is from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am.
如果在这两个时间段不好好休养和休息，
If you do not recuperate and rest well during these two periods,
而是烦恼、忧伤、纵欲、思虑过度、操劳过度，那么，人体的免疫力就会急速下降，
instead of being worried, sorrowed, indulged in lust, overthinking and overworking, your immunity will decline rapidly
各种急性病和慢性病在不知不觉中就发生了。
and all kinds of acute and chronic diseases will occur unknowingly.
当瘟疫来临之时，您就是那个最危险的人。
When the plague comes, you would be the most vulnerable one.
所以，晚上十一点之前，一定要休息；早上我们一定要和太阳一起起床，
Therefore, you shall go to bed before 11:00 pm , and get up at sunrise.
过了这个时间，人的思想已经开始妄动了，
After this time, people's mind has become delusional,
如果那个时候我们还在睡觉，就会开始乱梦颠倒，然后就会越睡越昏，伤身体。
if you still stay in bed, you would have chaotic dreams and get drowsier and drowsier, It damages your health.
时间长了，导致肾阴虚，
Over time, you would have hyperactivity of internal heat, called Yin-deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine
你看肾阴虚的人睡觉为什么容易盗汗呀？
and that is why people with kidney Yin-deficiency tend to sweat a lot at night.
就是因为多梦，在梦里烦恼、恐惧才会出汗。
The reason for it is because they have worries and fears even in dreams while sleeping.

心安的人怎么会出汗呢？
People with peaceful mind would never sweat during sleep.
肾阴虚的人妄念思虑多，
Those with kidney Yin-deficiency tend to have more delusions and worries.
睡觉时心里有很多业翻出来，然后就会盗汗。
Their karmas turn up in mind while they sleep and that cost them to have night sweat.
所以睡觉不要睡过了，睡过了，伤身体啊。
So do not oversleep, it does harm your body.
得道名医有言：冬天不要太暖，晚上不要太晚
Famous doctors say: Don't dress too warm in winter, don't stay up too late at night.
