From the perspective of Chinese medicine, meridians occupy an important position, and the twelve meridians and ugly stones that should belong to the human body correspond to what we call 1:00 am to 3:00 am. Meanwhile, the liver stores blood. When people lie down, blood is stored in the liver. When the liver meridian is blocked, blood is blocked from returning to the liver.
Meanwhile, the liver controls the soul. It is also easy for people to wake up at this time. However, from the perspective of sleep, whether the liver meridian is blocked is one-sided, and the following symptoms may also appear: greasy hair, frequent hair loss, white temples, indigestion, frequent farting, irritability, and bad temper. It is best to go to the hospital for examination in time.
- The lung meridian is blocked, and it is easy to wake up when it is cloudy
Within 12 hours, the meridian corresponding to Zhongyinshi is the lung meridian of the human body. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, when the lung qi is insufficient, the insomnia usually occurs when the kidney qi is insufficient, especially Yin is easy to wake up suddenly.
The lungs govern the qi. If a person has insufficient air in their lungs, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and fatigue can easily occur. In addition, the lungs are mainly fur, and the lung qi is insufficient. At the same time, it will be accompanied by skin wrinkles, dry skin and itching. Especially in the dry season, nourishing the lungs is the most important.

The sequence from elbow to wrist is about 5 times. Where the pain point is obvious, you can press and knead it for a few minutes, mainly to dredge the lung meridian.
If time permits, you can massage the lung meridian. . For example, the Yuji point is located on the palm and palm of the thumb. Gently rub the joint depression with your fingers for 3 to 5 minutes, feeling sore. You can also massage the thenar point in the depression behind the metacarpal joint of the long thumb.
