Do you wake up every night at a specific time, as if your body had its own secret alarm clock? What if it was hiding an important message? According to traditional Chinese medicine, each nighttime slot is linked to a specific organ. Understanding these signals can help you improve your sleep and, consequently, your overall well-being. Let’s decipher these mysterious nighttime slots together.
From 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.: When your body sets the stage
Your body starts the evening by activating the endocrine and lymphatic systems, which regulate hormones and help eliminate toxins. If you have trouble falling asleep at this time, it could signal a hormonal imbalance or emotional stress.
Symptoms to watch for: anxiety, feelings of guilt, mental fatigue.
Solution: Adopt a calming bedtime routine. Try meditation, a warm bath, or reading a book to find serenity before 10:30 p.m.
