Most of us go to sleep seeking rest and renewal, but if you often wake up during the night, it might mean more than just a restless mind. It could point to built-up negativity or stress.
This typically happens when the body reaches its lowest temperature—a time meant for deep rest. If you frequently wake up between 3 AM and 5 AM, it’s worth paying attention.
This period, sometimes called the “Witching Hour,” is associated with heightened awareness or spiritual awakening. Between 3 AM and 4 AM, the Lungs Meridian, linked to feelings of freedom and release, is most active.
If you’re feeling anxious or stuck, it might reflect this activation.
Consistent waking during these hours could also involve the Large Intestine Meridian, tied to detox and digestion in Chinese medicine. Issues like digestion troubles, allergies, or even emotional stress may contribute.
Understanding these patterns can help you identify whether your nighttime awakenings are connected to emotional, physical, or spiritual causes—and guide you toward finding balance.
