Goal: "Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon "(黄帝内经 : hereinafter simply “Neijing”) on sleep is discussed according to the physiology and pathology of sleep, diagnosis and treatment, and it’s content is complete, a sleep disorders disease records is relatively complete, and puts forward relevant treatment prescription on sleep. Records associated with the application of theory of sleep in the" Neijing”, there is research value in the content, but also has the research value and feasible in the development of research and application. The purpose of this paper is to provide available reference for the clinical treatment and health related sleep disorders of sleep, based on the " Neijing " correlation analysis of sleep theory summary.Materials and methods:Based on the method of literature, collected "Neijing" and later literature on sleep, summarized and analyzed the theory related to sleep. The Song Shadow Academy Press 2008 “heavy wide Huangdi Neijing Suwen note”, Ming- Gu Congde moment “heavy wide Huangdi Neijing Suwen” and Ming- Zhao Fu Ju Jing Tang edition of "M iraculous P ivot " are used as the original selection model of the “Neijing”. With the commercial press 2003 edition “the C ollective T raining”, Zhonghua Book Company version 2008 release “S parse C ards”, Shanghai Ancient Books Press 1981 edition "Shuowen Jiezi" are used as the main lexicon reference. The main content in this paper, the theory related to sleep finds mention earlier in the Chinese medical foundation of the "Neijing". Related records including "inability to sleep(不得眠)", "cannot lie(不得卧)", "addicted to lying(嗜卧)", "don’t feel sleepy(目不瞑)", "dream(梦)", and "heavy eyes(寤)" are mentioned as a sleep state. In sleeping mechanism Y in and Y ang theory and a theory related to sleep are mentioned; Ying Wei operation theory and sleep are discussed; Zang Fu viscera theory and sleep related physiological and pathological discussion are found. Special formula, P inellia Decoction is applied for treatment of insomnia."Neijing" sleep related physiological adjustment and pathology and pathogenesis theory of sleep and its treatment method has a profound influence on later generations. In this paper, from the theory of the "Neijing" theory and it’s application to sleep made special study by induction and analysis level. Main content of this paper, include a main interpretation of the related words of sleep; induce and analyze into the theory of Y in and Yang, Ying and Wei operation theory, Zangxiang theory on sleep. Analysis of Pinellia Decoction of Pinellia ternata, sorghum drug, made progress on principle of combination of theory and therapy of tonifying deficiency and purging pathogenic. In the second part of this paper, the "Neijing" theory of sleep related clinical application is quoted. At the same time, the “Neijing”sleep related health theory were summarized and combined with the practical application of the theory of the later sleep health are analyzed in this paper, in order to help find ing in the “Neijing” value of sleep theory.Results:1. On the "Neijing" vocabulary related to sleep: Lie down(卧), sleep(眠), sleeping(寝), dream(梦), fine(精), heavy eyes(寤) indicate a sleep state.. People “lie down”, lie down lie said, or lie down, or lie down to sleep, can have a sleep state, can be expressed in the waking state. “Sleep”, sleep state of consciousness is unconscious. In the "sleep ing" only appeared two times, and horizontal synonymous, through a night to sleep, a place for the sick and sweating, refers to the sick in bed. The “dream” is a kind of manifestation of human consciousness in sleep state, is a normal physiological and pathology, in the "Neijing" dream as the diagnostic reference. As the sleep state of consciousness of "fine" express smart, be full of go, “bright” indicate a sense of righteousness.2. Induction from the physiological basis of the "Neijing" : I n sleep related the theory of Y in and Yang: sleep Y in and Yang day night master, l ord and master. In sleep related theory of Ying and Wei, sleep awakening belong to Yin, Yang;yin deficiency and yang deficiency were more and more insomnia, somnolence. Ying Qi Yin and Wei Qi belongs to Yang and sleep, awakening. Sleep and awakening of the body of the rhythm of day and night with Ji(纪), by running rhythm and Ying and Wei two qi is closely related to the operation each other..3. In the viscera correlation theory, in the heart, sleep belongs to the category of mental activity, heart blood, heart of god(神), sleep and heart related mainly in the blood and the relationship of god. Sleep and Lung Association is mainly reflected in the lungs to respirate. Sleep and liver storing blood relationship is mainly reflected in the liver and liver soul(魂). Sleep and stomach contact mainly influence of Wei Qi and Qi of the spleen and stomach. Sleep and the kidney is the link function and kidney essence of Yin and Yang of the fundamental relationship.4. In the theory of sleep and emotion, emotion is the largest contact sleep and emotional belong to the same mental activities. Five will and the seven emotions extreme disorder will affect sleep are to some extent.5. On the relations between the constitution and sleep, is the main difference of human nature in the body shape and size and blood and extent, affect Wei energy movement situation, resulting in sleep and awakening, lead to different effects of sleep and circadian rhythm.6. A total of three sorghum, millet view: the waxy, sorghum, glutinous rice. The sorghum is millet, sorghum, rice, which through the literature research it is difficult to determine, but one thing is certain, the key is the effect of waxy rice. During the Dragon Boat Festival is also Chinese North waxy Huang Xiaomi dumplings, glutinous rice taste and the taste of southern rice dumplings difference. See also the effect is roughly the same, can be used. In short, millet sorghum rice is difficult to verify, but in practical application, glutinous millet, sorghum, glutinous rice can be used.7. In the treatment of insomnia of Yin and Yang, sweating is the signs of disease curability. As Li Dongyuan said, is sweating, Yin and Yang and natural gas, sweating too. Sweating is not the goal, Yin and Yang’s harmony is the purpose. Cassia, ginger Pinellia ternata as power, white peony root, jujube, licorice, such as rice. Its purpose lies in regulating Ying and Wei, Yin and Yang, and the illness.8. In the " Neijing " influence on the later for the treatment of insomnia, the Yin and Yang, Zang Fu viscera, Ying and Wei, emotion theory and formula are direct solution influenced the treatment of sleep disorders.Conclusion: 1. On the "cannot lie(不得卧)", "don’t feel sleepy(目不瞑)", "inability to sleep(不得眠)", "lying with an uneasy(卧不安)", "lying with surprising(卧则惊)" can be said that the phenomenon of sleep disorders, China useful refer to the original usage, cannot be too rigidly adhere to the original meaning of the text. So the above words can be understood as the sleep disorder and insomnia, but the difference is not significant on the text, have a role in the etiology and differential machine, which can provide reference for the treatment of.2. " Neijing " theory of Yin and Yang, the camp have a common link between Wei Zang Fu theory, theory of visceral manifestation and sleep, the influence of interaction of the three interdependent. Yin and Yang in physiology can be used as a functional category or concept. The material basis of Yin and Yang is Qi and Blood, Ying and Wei.3.On the relationship between the constitution and sleep in the “Neijing”, mainly reflected in different constitutions of Yin and Yang Qi and blood and the blood lead and sleep; different affect Wei energy movement cycle of sleep, stomach; organs of different sizes, different skin and smooth circulation of Wei qi in how much sleep different. Along with the development of the society in recent years, people’s dietary structure, lifestyle and human body are changed. Human’s constitution is also changed with eutrophication. The hyperlipemia people’s blood is viscous, Wei Qi flows slowly; phlegm dampness constitution people, wet sticky, Wei Qi operation is also for later. Because of its physical cause, this kind of constitution of the people, Qi for later, its difficulty falling asleep, awakening is difficult, often have an absent-minded during the day, do not sleep at night, early morning awakening spirit is not so good.4. China medicine in treatment is to balance Yin and Yang as the fundamental law. Sweating and evidences for disease of the Yin and Yang. The perspiration is the healing sign, for balancing Yin and Yang. Sweating is not the goal, Yin and Yang harmony is the purpose.
