Why do I keep Waking at 3am?

Your organs need TLC, says nutritionist Karen Newby, for an undisturbed night’s sleep

Do you often wake up at odd hours of the night? Or struggle to doze off before midnight? It could be a sign that one of your major organs is out of whack.

According to Chinese medicine, our organs are each highly active at different times of the day.

Nutritionist Karen Newby explains why – “If they were all majorly detoxing at the same time, that would require a lot of the body’s energy in one go.”

Although this theory isn’t based on a controlled study, Karen adds, “For example, the liver is highly active while we sleep, flushing out the previous day’s toxins and waste products ready for a morning bowel movement, so disturbed sleep when this is taking place could suggest your liver needs some TLC.”
