Sleeping until dawn sounds like a simple thing to do, but it is very difficult for some people. Because no matter how early they go to bed at night, they will always wake up suddenly in the middle of the night.
Especially from one to three o'clock in the morning, after waking up, I want to fall asleep but I can't sleep over and over again, and I don't fall asleep until dawn, resulting in insufficient energy the next day, affecting the efficiency of work and learning on the second day, causing mental atrophy over time, reducing resistance and immunity, and the body cannot resist foreign pathogenic bacteria, thus inducing diseases.
Why do you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night?
If you often wake up suddenly between 1 o'clock and 3:00, it is likely that there is a liver problem. During the time period from 1:00 to 3:00 a.m., the body's qi and blood are perfused from the bile meridian to the liver meridian, which is the golden time for deep sleep.
In TCM, the main function of the liver is to store blood from the whole body and help regulate the speed, direction and flow of blood in the body. During deep sleep, blood flows into the liver, making the liver's blood more abundant, thus moisturizing the eyes and allowing the eyes to see more things.
If you wake up when the liver qi and blood are at their best, the blood cannot be attributed to the liver but is constantly circulating in various meridians, and the liver is in a state of high load for a long time, which will lead to blurred viewing, dry eyes, numb limbs, etc.
At the same time, in traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is mainly drained, and poor drainage will lead to many problems such as irritability, emotional difficulty control, head swelling and chest rib pain, often irritability and depression because of small things; the liver and brain thinking ability are closely related, the liver qi is sufficient, and the human brain thinking activity will be more active and more agile.
