The Chinese Body Clock: Organ-Clock Guide to Deep Sleep, Steady Energy, and Your Natural Daily Rhythm

Do you wake up at 3 AM and can't fall back asleep? Do you sleep seven or eight hours but still feel exhausted? Does your energy crash at the same time every afternoon? If so, your body might not be broken. It might be trying to tell you something. Most people blame stress, a bad mattress, or too much caffeine. But there is another possibility most sleep guides never mention: your body runs on natural rhythms that shift throughout the day. Ignore those rhythms and your sleep suffers. Work with them, and something changes. In traditional Chinese medicine, the hours between 1 and 3 AM are linked to the liver. Your afternoon slump may follow a predictable daily cycle.
