Do you often wake up between 3 am – 5 am? If you wake up at the same time every night, it could be because your body is trying to send you a message. A lot happens when you sleep.

However, we are going to examine this phenomenon from a different perspective!
Do you often wake up between 3 am – 5 am? Here’s what it means!
According to the ancient Chinese Medicine Body Clock, energy runs through a different meridian of your body at different times of the day. These meridians are like channels which send energy to different organs in order to promote health and vitality. When there is a blockage in these channels, however, energy cannot pass through causing stagnation or a buildup of energy. This can then disturb your sleep and wake you up. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, if you wake up at the same time every night, it could indicate a sign of weakness in the corresponding meridian or organ.
