A great number of people experience difficulties regarding adopting habits that may enhance their sleep quality so instead of feeling energized when they wake up, they feel exhausted and moody.
The truth is that many people wake up a number of times during the night but they don’t even notice that because they fall back asleep quickly. Some of those awakenings are around a second long, but some are longer and cause the person trouble falling asleep again.
If you belong to this group, it’s crucial that you figure out what causes you to wake up and what to do to prevent it from happening over and over again.
These awakenings may have to do with the sleep cycle which goes from wakefulness to sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement and is the part of the sleep cycle where we will have the most dreams. These REM cycles happen more often as we approach the morning hours.
Some believe it has to do with ageing, and others blame sleep apnea for it.
But it turns out that there is yet another explanation why someone wakes up between 3 and 5 am. It is believed that at this time the most mysterious phenomena, called the ‘Witching Hour,’ occurs. This means that you can sense mysterious energy around you, or what is known as the “awakening.”
According to the ancient Chinese theories of Qi Energy, the energy meridians of the body are also connected to a clock-like-system that energizes different parts of the body at different times of the day. So, awakening between this particular time every night is a sign that energy in certain areas of the body connected to those meridians is either blocked or weak.
What’s most, during this time, the Meridian of Lungs which is considered the most ‘magical’ one and is related to the sense of freedom is activated.
Another meridian activated at this time is the Meridian of Large Intestine which is responsible for our body’s “detox” system.
What you should ask yourself in case you experience these awakenings is whether there is something that bothers you that your meridian is trying to warn you of.
