Do you wake up every night at the same time, as if your body has an internal clock? According to traditional Chinese medicine, this pattern can reveal valuable information about your health. The so-called “Chinese biological clock” associates different time slots with specific organs in the body, and nighttime awakenings can be signs of physical or emotional imbalance.
Below, we analyze each interval and offer you tips to improve your rest.
