Parade Magazine Interviews Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM: What Does It Mean if You Wake Up at 3 a.m.?

Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, provides several insights into why someone might wake up at 3 a.m. for PARADE Magazine. The Symbolism and Spiritual Meaning—Explained

From a spiritual and energetic standpoint, he notes that "1 to 3 a.m. is the time that the Hun, or etheric soul, is active," describing the Hun as the "creative, artistic part" of the soul.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), he suggests recurring awakenings could signal "a disharmony of the Qi" or a "deficiency of energy". He adds that waking at this time aligns with the energy moving from the liver to the lung channel in TCM, which might cause physical symptoms.

However, Dr. Tom emphasizes that "Most likely, the person is staying up too late and getting exposed to bright light well past sunset," suggesting practical sleep disruptors like phone use are often the main cause. He also points to other common sleep issues like "Varying temperatures, snoring partners and dogs needing to pee". 😊
