The Spiritual Meaning of Waking Up at 1 AM, 2 AM, or 3 AM
Have you ever noticed waking up at the same time night after night, staring at the ceiling, and wondering if it’s more than just restlessness? Modern science often points to stress, irregular sleep patterns, or health concerns. Yet ancient traditions, especially Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offer a different perspective.
The Body’s Internal Clock
According to TCM, the body follows an internal rhythm connected to 14 meridians, with 12 cycling over a 24-hour period. Each two-hour window corresponds to a specific organ system and emotional state. Disturbances during these times may signal deeper imbalances in body, mind, or spirit.
