Pay Attention to THESE Warning Signs When You Wake Up Nights at THIS Time!
Night wake-up calls – what do they mean? Sleep is one of the most important building blocks for physical and mental well-being. When it is out of whack, it not only affects our performance and concentration, our mood dives and our metabolism begins to switch to stress mode, putting our entire body on high alert. We release more stress hormones, our insulin balance goes crazy and signals us that it's time for some extensive appetite changes. The resulting overeating fuels this vicious cycle, which can get us into serious health trouble in the long run. All of this begins with the disruption of our sleep patterns. The problem with this is that even a few nights of sleep deprivation cannot be made up for at a later date, such as on the weekend. Sleep is something that must be sufficiently available to our body on a daily basis. Unfortunately, building up a supply of it or making up for it at a later time doesn't work. It is therefore all the more important to get to the bottom of the causes of sleepless nights. We have summarized the most common findings from psychology, medicine and sleep research for you in this article.
1. Bad start: Problems falling asleep
If you just can't manage to sink into a gentle slumber by 11 p.m. at the latest, you have a classic problem falling asleep. Apparently, your body is having a hard time getting to rest. The reasons for this are usually psychological rather than physical. You're stressed, and a lot of thoughts are driving you around, preventing you from sleeping. The mental cinema that occupies you in bed at night should be characterized by good thoughts and a satisfied review of the past day. To achieve this state, there are some free and very simple tips. Relaxation exercises, meditation or yoga can help you get into rest mode more quickly. If you get into the habit of briefly reviewing your day's experiences every evening and writing down your final thoughts in a journal or diary, you'll have already shed a lot of mental and emotional baggage that you won't have to take to bed with you. In addition, you should not eat any meals, consume alcohol or sugary drinks, and you should dim the lights in your rooms two hours before going to bed. In this way, you help your brain to slowly but surely tune into the upcoming rest mode. You should also say goodbye to your laptop or smartphone in good time. The blue light of their displays tricks your perception into thinking it's daylight, which will keep you wide awake.
2. The gall bladder reports between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Our body is permeated by the so-called meridians. We know them mainly from TCM and their importance there in complementary healing methods such as acupuncture. These energy meridians become active at very specific times, which is why you can assign an awakening at these times to certain physical complaints. Besides its physical function of storing bile and keeping it ready for our digestion, the gallbladder meridian also has an emotional function. It belongs to the emotional constellation of “anger" and related feelings. If you wake up several times at this hour, you should get clear about a few emotional construction sites in your life. Who or what is annoying you? And what can you do to make it stop? No circumstance in the world is worth sacrificing our health and beauty sleep for.
3. The liver rebels between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
The liver has essential physical functions to fulfill but also stands for deep negative feelings such as jealousy or hate. Here again, people have suspected for ages that the liver meridian has something to do with these emotions. If you regularly wake up in this time window, a period of liver fasting would be a good start. But of course, you should also do an internal audit for unpleasant feelings. Is someone annoying you or arousing negativity to such an extent that it’s disrupting your sleep?
4. Between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.: The lungs struggle for attention.
Physically, this time is associated with our lungs and with the energy meridian responsible for them. The lung meridian is responsible for our breathing, the body's defenses and also for our skin. It belongs to the emotion group "sadness". So if some people or circumstances are weighing heavily on our chest, such emotional crises can also make themselves felt at night. But this time window is also of great importance from a spiritual point of view. It corresponds in the daily schedule to what Halloween or All Saints' Day represents in the annual cycle, i.e. a time when the veil between the earthly world and that of the spirits is supposed to be particularly thin and permeable. If you are a sensitive person who can open up to spiritual experiences well and without reservation, you may receive messages at this time of day that are out of this world.
5. Between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.: large intestine alarm.
You may not even notice if you frequently wake up at this time. Most working people have to get up around this time anyway. Half an hour or an hour earlier doesn't make much of a difference, but you should keep an eye on this phenomenon if it happens more often. This time of day stimulates the large intestine meridian, which is the disposal point in our body for everything that is no longer needed or can even harm us to remain in the body. It also belongs to the emotion group of grief. If you awake at this time of day, you may be trying to forcibly hold on to people or things that no longer want to remain in your life. The colon meridian very clearly symbolizes fear of change and clinging to the tried and true.
Today’s Conclusion
Nocturnal Messages - Symptoms of Your Body. We owe the findings just mentioned to the oldest known medical doctrine in the world. TCM, or traditional Chinese medicine, is based on the knowledge of how our body's energy flows and has been successfully healing the body, mind and soul for thousands of years. This knowledge is not alternative mumbo jumbo and is now even widely recognized by strictly orthodox medicine. The connection between body and soul is now also undisputed, even if the evidence here is still difficult. Basically, however, listening to our body is always a good idea. It does most of its daily work on its own, but sometimes it needs our help. If you are too stressed and distracted in your daily routine in order to recognize its signs, you will be jolted out of sleep at night. This is not nice, but it only serves our health, and as we know, health is our highest good, which we should treat in the same way. That's it for today.
