Ever jolt awake at 3 AM, heart pounding, for no clear reason? Science has explanations—stress, aging, health issues—but some believe there’s more to it. In spiritual traditions, this time is known as the “Witching Hour,” a period when the veil between worlds is thin.
The Lungs’ Meridian Connection
In Chinese medicine, 3-5 AM is linked to the Lung Meridian, a time of emotional release. If you’re waking up then, it might signal unresolved grief, anxiety, or a need to “let go” of something weighing on you.
A Call to Detox
This window is also tied to the Large Intestine Meridian—your body’s natural detox phase. Constantly waking up? It could be a sign you’re holding onto negativity—whether emotional or physical (think digestion issues or allergies).
Is It Anxiety or Something More?
While stress is a likely cause, some wonder if these wake-ups carry a deeper message. Are you avoiding a truth? Is your subconscious trying to tell you something?
Before dismissing it as random insomnia, consider: What might your body—or spirit—be urging you to address?
