Understanding the Roots of Poor Sleep
Sleep disturbances are often manifestations of specific imbalances in the body's organs and energy systems.By identifying the underlying pattern, targeted practice can help restore restful sleep.
1. Difficulty Falling Asleep
· Primary Pattern: This is often due to an excess of heart fire and overthinking. These individuals tend to overuse their minds in work or daily life, focusing intensely on details and pursuing perfection.

2. Waking Easily During the Night & Inability to Fall Back Asleep

· For waking between 3-5 AM: Often related to Lung Meridian imbalance or Lung Qi deficiency, commonly accompanied by low mood, lack of joy, and labored breathing.

3. Excessive Dreaming & Light, Non-Restorative Sleep
· Primary Pattern: Insufficiency of heart function and a deficiency of heart blood can prevent the spirit from fully settling deep within the body. A part of the spirit remains adrift externally, leading to excessive dreaming and poor sleep quality.

4. Poor Sleep Due to Indigestion or Bloating

6. Poor Sleep Due to High Stress & Mental Tension
