Why You Keep Waking Up at the Same Time Every Night

From a traditional perspective, this time encourages letting go and emotional release. From 3:00 to 5:00 a.m., the lungs dominate. These hours are associated with breath, grief, and internal reflection. Disturbed sleep during this period may reflect sadness or a need for emotional processing. In some traditions, this window is considered a quiet time for self-awareness or gentle spiritual growth.
