Do you ever wonder why you wake up at the same time every night? We all have the occasional sleepless night, especially when our brains are overworked. But when it keeps recurring, your body may be trying to tell you something important about your mind, body, and life.

There are fourteen major meridians that run through the body, twelve of which align with the twenty-four-hour clock. That means there are two hours each day in which a specific meridian is primary. Meridians are linked to parts of the body as well as to thoughts, emotions, and experiences. The hour that you keep waking up might be telling you which meridian is out of balance:

1:00 to 3:00 a.m. (Liver)

Physical: You may be experiencing issues with circulation, digestion, and metabolism. It’s possible you are drinking too much or too little.

Mental: You may be struggling to feel safe in life, worried about how to step forward, or concerned with weight. It can also indicate an inability from childhood to process circumstances. Ask yourself if you are avoidant or resistant in your daily interactions.

Emotional: You are in need of energy. Are you giving more than you’re getting? You may be relying on the need of another’s approval. You might need to relearn how to digest, process, and properly absorb lessons and situations in your life.

3:00 to 5:00 a.m. (Lung)

Physical: Lungs are where we hold grief, which can impair breathing. It may be an inability to inhale deeply and relax. Your body temperature is at its lowest here, so you may be too cold.

Mental: It is likely that several different things are going on. You may be in need of guidance and inspiration. It can signify a new beginning and a spiritual awakening for you. It can also mean that you are running too hot or cold in daily life: feeling fulfilled one minute, then doubting yourself the next.

Spiritual: 3:00 a.m. is a time when the veil between dimensions is the thinnest. Consider that a passed loved one has a message for you or that you are on the threshold of making great strides in your life. It is a wise practice here to keep a notepad by your bedside so you can write down impressions you may have at this time. Also, be willing to shed old ideas and limiting beliefs so you can assimilate better thought patterns and habits into daily life.

These are merely possibilities. In my experience as an energy alignment practitioner, these are a few key reasons for disturbed sleep. Please keep in mind that there are many reasons you don’t sleep well: relationship issues, substance abuse, napping too much, depression, etc. What’s important is that you trust what intuitively feels correct to you. Ask yourself what’s going on in your life. Then, trust your instincts!

Just as important as your awareness is about waking up at odd hours, realize also when you’re sleeping through the night; it may mean that some part of your life that was previously unresolved has been healed or has recovered. You are learning and making progress in life. Sweet dreams!
