The Time You Wake-Up Can Reveal About Your Body and Emotional Health

Problems with Liver: 1 to 3 am
The liver helps in the smooth flowing of energy, blood or Qi, as per TCM. That’s why any kind of obstruction to this free flow of energy can lead to anger issues. So, if you have had a terrible day and have been pushing your anger down, then you might be waking up all of a sudden during this time. Drink a cold glass of water to calm yourself down.

Problems with Lungs: 3 am to 5 am
As per TCM practice, lungs help in our immune system and in directing our energy flow. Emotions are generated in our lungs so any kind of toxins that get accumulated in our lungs can end up causing excess emotional negativity to our body and mind. So, if you are suddenly waking up during this period, then you might be suffering from some deep-seated grief which you need to address.

Issues with Large Intestines: 5 to 7 am
There are many early risers, but if you are waking up at 5 am, then you might have some issue related to large intestines. According to Dr Wareham, this is the part that helps you release your emotional distress and helps you to let go of emotions. So, if you feel like there is a kind of emotional block, then try some stretching exercises in the bathroom and go back to bed.

The ancient TCM is not a forgotten art and it does relieve you from certain issues that you are facing while you sleep. Remember, sleep is essential, so you must do whatever you can to get the 6-8 hours of sound sleep to remain your most productive all day.
