Many of us have trouble sleeping, whether that be difficulty falling asleep, not getting enough of it, or waking up in the middle of the night. The longer you suffer from one or more of these symptoms, the more you start to define a new “normal” for yourself and forget what a healthy sleeping pattern actually looks like.
At least, that’s what I have experienced. Even though I don’t have any trouble going to sleep, every so often I’ll wake up in the middle of the night at the same time, and then have no issues falling back asleep again.
To my surprise, there is a perfectly logical explanation for why this happens and how I can overcome this problem. The solution lies within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and it has to do with your “body clock.”
What is a TCM “body clock”?
According to ancient knowledge within TCM, our bodies run on a “clock” that is reflected through our energy meridians. Meridians are essentially energy highways that hold and transport Qi, blood, and fluids throughout the body. Qi is believed to beeverywhere on Earth; when you’re healthy, Qi is flowing freely through you, whereas when you’re unhealthy, you either have a blockage from Qi or your “Qi tank” is low.
