"I'm Selling Night by Day" 03
I nodded quickly and patted the old lady's hand: "Don't worry, grandma, we are doing this."
The old lady stood aside excitedly and wiped the tears shed.
The old lady's eyes were sunken, and there were deep dark circles inside.
There was a bamboo chair next to the recliner. I smiled and said, "Grandma, there is an event today. I buy one free one. Can the bamboo chairs over there be lying? You can lie down, and I promise to sell them to you for the full night."
The old lady walked to the bamboo chair in disbelief and staggered down: "I don't have a good sleep, so I'm a little better than the old man."
"I understand, it's okay." I walked to the sea.
Dahai pointed his head and naturally knew my little thoughts.
If it is an ordinary customer, we will let them skip rope for ten minutes to relieve their energy first.
But at this time, the two old men's grades were here, and I began to help the elderly with rehabilitation.
Open and close his hands back and forth, and push and pull his legs back and forth back and forth up and down.
In ten minutes, the old man was also panting while lying on the bed.
The sea also follows my approach, and its techniques are much more skillful than mine.
The elderly have shorter sleep than the younger ones, and they are more likely to suffer from insomnia and wake up easily.
I understand this because our company has been established for more than a year, but in fact, it has been taking care of my grandfather for about half a year.
Grandma passed away half a year ago, so grandpa became even more difficult to fall asleep.
In the six months since the company was established, almost everything was tested on my grandfather.
When we can make our grandfather sleep peacefully for four or five hours every day, one day, grandfather closed his eyes and never opened them again.
After that we started serving others, but we also understood that our sleep therapy was not suitable for everyone.
Dahai and I skillfully took out the earmuffs and eye masks from our bags, and put a disposable non-woven fabric on it to cover the old man's eyes and ears.
The earmuffs are Dahai's improved headphones, and the long white noise begins to play.
At first we used the low cicadas to scream, which grandpa liked very much. But after formal work, many animals and insects had already died because of the coldness of the earth. So in fact, except for the older generation, many young people did not know what we were playing.
This time I patted Dahai lightly: "Switch to the first version."
The sea lit his head thoughtfully, changing the white noise to the cicadas.
"It's a cicada, my wife." The old man said excitedly.
Dahai replied softly in the old man's ear: "Sorry, you can't speak during the treatment."
The old man shut his mouth, and we took out two canvases.
One in front and the other behind, two old men were surrounded and fixed with folded poles.
After doing all this, I looked back at the old man, and I gave Dahai a thumbs up and the old lady was already asleep.
In fact, there are at least hundreds of sleep institutions like ours in our area, but in fact, many of them use sleeping pills and banned injection drugs.
Some sleeping pills are used as daily sleep aids and have long been resistant to sleeping pills. As for banned drugs, they can make patients addicted and expensive. Dahai and I have always followed the most natural way of sleep.
Young people like to use drugs, so they naturally think that we are useless. So our business is actually very bleak. Who would have thought that a village so far away would actually receive a business?
The old man was not asleep yet and was restless.
I walked to the side of the sea, and the sea stretched out his hand.
Massage the head is almost the last move of the sea, and I can only watch from the side.
The old man was just restless, but after a while, he started to struggle.
I understood that I failed and patted Dahai: "Forget it, I won't try."
Dahai shook his head: "Do you remember our Yunmeng machine?"
I looked at the sea: "Has it been successful? Have you brought it?"
Dahai took out the machine, which was also a helmet.
This thing Dahai was invented in half a year and has only been tested on myself. It can make people fall asleep quickly. However, improper operation has strong side effects.
Dahai took off the old man's eye mask and opened the ear mask all the time.
"Grandpa, let's do the second therapy. This thing is called Yunmeng Machine. Next I will ask you to bring it with you. Remember not to open your eyes. Never open it, no matter how great the stimulation it is." Dahai explained.
The old man took the helmet given by Dahai with skepticism, and the contact position of the equipment was aimed at the old man's eyelids.
Why do humans wake up after being sleepy at night and awake during the day? Why do people wake up after being exposed to strong light when they are asleep?
The secrets of all this come from the brain, which is the hypothalamus position behind the eye socket, and the neural tissue called VLPO and TMN.
VLPO is ahead, TMN is relatively back. They just want to have a seesaw that controls humans to wake up or sleep well.
VLPO manages sleep, while TMN ensures wakefulness.
During the day, sunlight stimulates VLPO to wake us up, while at night, VLPO will secrete melatonin and cover it up.
The sea’s method is to directly stimulate the fundus with strong light, making the VLPO at the front end too nervous.
After the strong light stimulation is over, VLPO will no longer be so sensitive to sunlight.
Melatonin is then secreted, causing the body to feel sleepy.
This thing in Dahai was originally called Dream Haunting Machine. I thought the name was a bit scary and asked it to be renamed Yunmeng Machine.
The machine was placed in place and the sea pressed the button.
The strong light penetrated the old man's eyes. The reason why he did not let his eyes open was because he was afraid that the strong light would directly stimulate the pupils and cause insomnia.
The sea put an observation hole in it and confirmed that the old man had not opened it.
The old man who was originally struggling relaxed at this time, Lu Qiao put down his equipment and brought back his eye mask.
I looked at Dahai and smiled: "Is Yunmeng Machine successful?"
"In the testing phase, I don't have a good solution yet. I have thought about sticking eyelid patches so that I can't open my eyes. But it will make my eyes uncomfortable, so I'll use them less in the future." Dahai explained.
I nodded my head and sat on the steps with Dahai.
Dahai and I were waiting for the old man to wake up because there was no other business.
The small trees in the yard are now appearing in front of us, but they are a little beautiful.
The old lady woke up first, and when she got up, she quarreled with the old lady.
The old lady looked at the clock on the wall and said in surprise: "Have we slept for four hours?"
I clicked my head and smiled: "We charge by hour and by minimum working hours. It doesn't matter if I can't sleep, so I buy one and get one free."
"One hundred and eighty, cash, scan the code or swipe the card?" Dahai asked with a smile.
"That's so cheap?" The old lady smiled and took out the money from the plastic bag around her waist. The price is soaring today. This price is indeed not expensive.
We didn't make much money, but it was all for the sea and my thoughts.
Sometimes there is no order a day, and at most, there are only two or three orders a day.
Dahai and I bowed to the two old men, then put away our equipment and left.
One hundred and eighty, on the way back, there were only a few dozen yuan of change left for a snack in Dahai.
Put it in the box where you save money and use it to pay the rent by the end of the month.
I probably have to ask my parents for subsidies next month, but at least Dahai and I are happy on such days.
Who is in the rental house with Dahai? Dahai and I are looking at the sunlight outside the window.
I planned to sleep on myself, while Dahai began to debug the Yunmeng machine. Dahai wanted a safer and more effective method, and I knew that if this thing was successful, it would definitely benefit mankind.
Before I knew it, it was night, and the sun outside the window was as fierce as the sun.
I was called by my cell phone.
"Hey? Grandma? Buy one free one? And what are you talking about? A village business?" I said in surprise.
