Introduction
Have you ever noticed yourself waking up at the same time every night—1AM, 2AM, or even 3AM—without any clear reason? Many people assume it’s just random insomnia, stress, or poor sleep habits. But according to ancient wellness traditions, these nighttime awakenings may carry deeper meaning.
In the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body follows a natural 24-hour energy cycle known as the Chinese Meridian Clock. During this cycle, different organs and energy pathways—called Meridians—become most active at specific times of the night and day.
