On an emotional level, it is linked to anger, so you also might repress some anger, frustration, or resentment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">3-5am: Lungs<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The lung is responsible for moving the qi (energy) through the meridians and the entire body, so if you wake up at this time every night, you might have some hidden sorrow and grief you need to cope with. Also, these imbalances might lead to a poor immune system, wheezing, coughing, and asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">5am-7am: Large Intestine<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This means that you need to \u201clet go\u201d things, both, emotionally and physically. You might suffer from dry stools, skin rashes, and constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting a sound and high-quality sleep every night will improve the quality of your life, while the effects of sleep deprivation include high blood pressure, weight gain, inflammation in the body, high blood sugar levels, increased cortisol levels, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">According to the National Sleeping Foundation, the following tips will help you establish a healthy sleep routine:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u201d-<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Stick to a sleep schedule of the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>If you have trouble sleeping, avoid naps, especially in the afternoon.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>-Exercise daily, and even light exercise is better than no activity.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Design your sleep environment to establish the conditions you need for sleep.
