Abstract：This paper focuses on extreme environments and systematically analyzes sleep disorders caused by multiple pathogenesis,including circadian rhythm disorder,yin-yang imbalance and qi-blood disorder under weightlessness,emotional depression due to environmental changes,abnormal diet and excretion,and six excesses pathogenic factors,in accordance with the theory of correspondence between nature and human.It proposes harmonizing yin and yang as the core therapeutic principle and guiding framework,with specific methods including calming rebellious qi-blood,regulating qi movement,harmonizing heart and kidney,and dredging and regulating blood vessels,thus forming the"one guiding principle and four specific methods"treatment strategy.Additionally,by integrating the modified application of classic formulas,a diagnostic and therapeutic approach targeting multi-dimensional pathogenesis is established.This study aims to promote the in-depth integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)in extreme environmental medicine through TCM theories and innovative application of prescriptions,provide TCM-characterized solutions for health management of workers in extreme environments,and facilitate the transformation of extreme environmental medicine toward the modern medical model of"prevention-treatment integration".
