Professor Bai Biao pointed out that the above eight acupoints should not be rubbed too hard, so as to promote the movement of tissues under the acupoints. Moreover, the speed of kneading should not be too fast, but should be carried out as slowly as possible at a constant speed! If you still can't sleep after pressing and kneading once, you can press and knead again!
