Waking up early is also a form of insomnia.
Insomnia is a common urban ailment that not only affects daily life but also has long-term health consequences. Insomnia is not only characterized by difficulty falling asleep, but also by insufficient sleep or the inability to enter deep sleep.
Waking up early is often overlooked, mistakenly thought to be a sign of going to bed early and waking up early. In fact, waking up early is also a type of insomnia; if you wake up in the early morning and can't go back to sleep, it might be a warning sign from your body. According to the 12 meridians' health clock, if you wake up between 1 and 3 a.m., your liver might be sending you a message to pay more attention to emotional regulation and avoid excessive anger, worry, and stress. If you wake up between 3 and 5 a.m., it might be a warning from your lungs, indicating a deficiency in lung yin, so you should focus on nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.
If you experience insomnia, you can use 10 grams each of Jujube Seed (Suan Zao Ren) and Oriental Arborvitae Seed (Bai Zi Ren). Wash the ingredients, place them in a thermos, and steep with hot water for 15 minutes before drinking. This tea helps nourish the heart and calm the mind, and is especially suitable for people suffering from insomnia, frequent waking, early waking, or excessive dreaming caused by vexation due to deficiency.
Jujube Seed (Suan Zao Ren) has a sweet and slightly sour taste, a neutral nature, and acts on the heart, liver, and gallbladder meridians. It can nourish the heart, calm the mind, and has astringent properties to stop sweating. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "When Jujube Seed is used cooked, it treats insomnia due to gallbladder deficiency, vexation, thirst, and night sweats; when used raw, it treats excessive sleep due to gallbladder heat." It is particularly suitable for people suffering from insomnia, frequent waking, or excessive dreaming caused by vexation due to deficiency.
Oriental Arborvitae Seed (Bai Zi Ren) has a sweet taste, a neutral nature, and acts on the heart, spleen, liver, and gallbladder meridians. It has a sedative effect, can nourish the heart, calm the mind, and help improve sleep quality.
Tea therapy is not medicine and can only be used as an auxiliary. If you have chronic insomnia, it is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for early treatment and targeted medication.
