《千金方》云∶凡人有四正∶行正、坐正、立正、言正。饥须止，饱须行。
又云∶凡行立坐，勿背日月。
又云∶寒跏趺坐，暖舒脚眠，峻坐以两足作八字，去冷，治五痔病。
又云∶或行及乘马不用回顾，回顾则神去人。
《养生志》云∶旦起勿交臂膝上坐，凶。
《养生要集》云∶内解曰∶卧当正偃正四肢，自安无侧无伏无劬无倾，常思五脏内外昭
明。欲卧，无以人定时加亥，是时天地人万物皆卧为一死与鬼路通，人皆死吾独生矣。欲卧，
常以夜半时加子，是时天地人万物皆卧 ，为一生生气出还，不与人同卧息，常随四时八节。
春夏蚤起，与鸡俱兴；秋冬晏起，必得日光。无逆之，逆之则伤。
《千金方》云∶春欲兴卧早起，夏及秋欲偃息侵夜乃卧早起，冬欲早卧而晏起，皆益人。
虽云早起，莫在鸡鸣前。虽言晏起，莫在日出后。
又云∶人卧，春夏向东，秋冬向西，此为常法。
又云∶暮卧常习闭口，口开即失气，又邪恶从入。
又云∶屈膝侧卧，益人气力，胜正偃卧。
又云∶睡不厌KT ，觉不厌舒。（凡人舒睡则有鬼物魇邪得便，故逐觉时乃可舒耳。）
又云∶丈丈夫头勿北首卧，卧勿当梁脊下卧讫勿留灯烛，令魂魄及六神不安，多愁怨。
又云∶行作鹅王步，眠作师子眠。（右胁着地屈膝。）

《千金方》说：大凡人有四种端正的仪态：行走端正、坐姿端正、站立端正、言语端正。饿了应当停止进食，饱了应当散步活动。
又说：凡是行走、站立或坐着时，不要背对着太阳或月亮。
又说：寒冷时盘腿而坐（跏趺坐），温暖时舒展双腿睡觉；端坐时两脚呈八字形分开，可以驱除寒气，治疗五种痔疮疾病。
又说：或者走路以及骑马时不要回头，回头则神气会离开身体。
《养生志》说：早晨起床时不要交叉手臂和膝盖坐着，这是不吉利的。
《养生要集》说：《内解》中提到：睡觉时应当正仰卧躺，四肢端正，身心安宁，不要侧卧、俯卧、过度劳累或倾斜，常常思考五脏内外清晰明亮。想要睡觉时，不要在亥时（晚上9点至11点）入睡，此时天地人及万物都进入睡眠状态，如同死亡并与鬼路相通，如果别人都死了而我独自活着，是不好的。想要睡觉时，最好在子时（晚上11点至凌晨1点）入睡，此时天地人及万物都处于睡眠状态，但一股生气开始生出并回归，不与常人一同昏睡，应常顺应四季八个节气的变化。春夏季节早起，与鸡一起鸣叫起床；秋冬季节晚起，一定要等到见到阳光。不要违背这个规律，违背它就会受伤。
《千金方》说：春天想要起床睡觉，应该早起；夏天和秋天想要休息，直到深夜才睡，早上起床；冬天想要早睡但晚起，这些都对人有益。
虽然说早起，但不要在天鸡鸣之前。虽然说是晚起，但不要在大日出之后。
又说：人睡觉时，春夏朝向东方，秋冬朝向西方，这是常规方法。
又说：傍晚睡觉时常习惯闭口，张口就会流失气息，而且邪恶之气会从口中进入。
又说：弯曲膝盖侧卧，能增加人的气力，胜过正仰卧躺。
又说：睡觉时不嫌蜷缩，醒来时不嫌舒展。（大凡人舒展地睡觉则有鬼物魇邪趁机作祟，所以只有在醒来时才舒展身体。）
又说：男子头部不要朝北卧，睡觉时不要躺在房梁脊骨下方，睡完后不要留灯烛，以免使魂魄及六神不安，多生愁怨。
又说：行走时做鹅王步态，睡觉时做狮子卧姿。（右侧卧，着地，屈膝。）
又说：凡是睡觉，先让心安定，然后身体才能安睡。
又说：人睡觉一夜，通常翻身五次左右。
又说：人睡醒后，不要张口，久了会导致消渴症，以及失去血色。
又说：不能睡得太死，否则会使人失气。
又说：夜晚睡觉不要蒙住头，这样可以长寿。
又说：夜晚睡觉耳朵不要对着风口，否则会导致耳聋。
《枕中方》说：不要在冬天的甲子日夜间睡觉。
《千金方》说：大凡人打哈欠时，不要点燃灯火叫他，这样一定会导致因惊吓而死，暗中叫他吉利，也不得靠近并急促地呼唤。
又说：人睡觉时，不要把脚悬空踩在高处，久了会导致肾水亏虚及损伤性功能，足部发冷。
又说：夏天不要在屋顶上露天睡觉，会让面部皮肤容易长癣。（另一种说法是面风。）
又说：人头旁边不要安放火炉，每天承受火气，会导致头重、眼睛红赤及鼻子干燥。
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: Generally, humans have four upright postures: walking upright, sitting upright, standing upright, and speaking upright. One should stop eating when hungry and walk about after being full.
It further states: When walking, standing, or sitting, do not turn your back to the sun or the moon.
It also states: In cold weather, sit in the lotus position (Jiafu Zuo); in warm weather, sleep with legs extended. Sitting upright with feet spread in an "eight" shape dispels cold and treats five types of hemorrhoids.
It also states: When walking or riding a horse, do not look back; looking back causes the Shen (Spirit) to leave the body.
The *Yangsheng Zhi* (Records of Nourishing Life) states: Do not sit with crossed arms and knees upon rising in the morning; this is inauspicious.
The *Yangsheng Yaoji* (Essentials of Nourishing Life) states: The *Neijie* (Inner Explanation) mentions: When lying down, one should lie flat on the back with limbs straight, remaining at peace without side-lying, prone-lying, overexertion, or tilting. Constantly contemplate the clarity of the internal and external aspects of the Five Zang Organs. When intending to sleep, do not fall asleep during Hai Hour (9 PM–11 PM). At this time, heaven, earth, humans, and all things enter sleep, akin to death and connecting with the path of ghosts. If others die while you alone live, it is unfavorable. When intending to sleep, it is best to fall asleep during Zi Hour (11 PM–1 AM). At this time, although heaven, earth, humans, and all things are asleep, a breath of Sheng Qi (Vital Energy) begins to emerge and return. Do not sleep in the same manner as ordinary people; instead, constantly follow the changes of the Four Seasons and Eight Solar Terms. Rise early in Spring and Summer, waking with the roosters; rise late in Autumn and Winter, ensuring sunlight is present. Do not go against this rule; going against it causes injury.
The *Qianjin Fang* states: In Spring, when desiring to rise from bed, wake up early; in Summer and Autumn, when desiring to rest, lie down late at night and wake up early; in Winter, sleep early but wake up late. All these practices benefit the person.
Although it says wake up early, do not do so before the rooster crows. Although it says wake up late, do not do so after the sun has risen.
It also states: When sleeping, face East in Spring and Summer, and West in Autumn and Winter; this is the standard method.
It also states: When going to bed in the evening, habitually keep the mouth closed. Opening the mouth causes loss of Qi, and evil pathogens may enter.
It also states: Sleeping with bent knees in a lateral position enhances physical strength and is superior to lying flat on the back.
It also states: Sleep does not disdain curling up; waking does not disdain stretching out. (Generally, if one sleeps stretched out, evil spirits or nightmares may take advantage, so one should only stretch out upon waking.)
It also states: Men should not sleep with their heads pointing North. Do not sleep directly under the ridgepole of the roof. After sleeping, do not leave lamps or candles burning, as this unsettles the Hun (Ethereal Soul), Po (Corporeal Soul), and the Six Spirits, leading to sorrow and resentment.
It also states: Walk with the gait of a King Goose; sleep with the posture of a Lion. (Lie on the right side, with knees bent.)
It also states: Regarding sleep, first calm the Xin (Heart/Mind), then the body will settle.
It also states: A person typically turns over about five times during a night's sleep.
It also states: Upon waking, do not open the mouth; doing so for a long time leads to Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst Diabetes) and loss of blood color.
It also states: One must not sleep too deeply, as this causes loss of Qi.
It also states: Do not cover the head when sleeping at night; this promotes longevity.
It also states: When sleeping at night, do not let ears face drafts/holes; otherwise, deafness may result.
The *Zhenzhong Fang* states: Do not sleep on winter Jiazi days at night.
The *Qianjin Fang* states: When a person yawns, do not call them by lighting a lamp; this will surely cause death from fright. Calling them secretly is auspicious. Also, do not approach closely and call urgently.
It also states: When sleeping, do not hang feet high up; doing so for a long time depletes Kidney Water, damages sexual function, and causes cold feet.
It also states: In summer, do not sleep outdoors on the roof; this makes facial skin prone to tinea (ringworm). (Another view suggests facial wind-stroke.)
It also states: Do not place a charcoal stove near the head; daily exposure to fire Qi causes heavy head, red eyes, and dry nose.
