Im not the only one.

Id frustratingly cry out during my daily early morning rise.

Enter Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system that is more than 2,500 years old.

In TCM, the body is governed by something called the organ body clock.

The balanced relationship between the two allows us to have quality rest.

TCM breaks down the12 main organs of the bodyand divides them into two-hour segments.

Out of the 12 organs, its the heart that runs the show.

Its Amazing How Its All Connected.

The liver is responsible for the nervous system and the detoxification of the blood, says Brindle.

The liver is also the organ of anger, frustration, resentment, and planning, Brindle says.

When viewed this way, 3:20 a.m. my wake-up calls finally made sense.

Many TCM practitioners suggest structuring your day to take advantage ofyour bodys natural rhythm.
