There are 14 main meridians that run through the body, 12 of which are aligned with the 24-hour clock. This means that there are two hours a day when a meridian – which runs through a certain part of your body – becomes the main one.
The meridians are related to body parts and processes, as well as emotions and experiences. In fact, the time you wake up can tell you which meridian is disturbed.
The time of night greatly determines what happens when you wake up. It is also important to consider how often you wake up at night. If you wake up every night between 3 and 5 a.m., it may mean that you are experiencing a spiritual awakening.
This is especially true if you never wake up during the night and there is no obvious reason (like going to the bathroom) why you woke up.
Spiritual significance of waking up at 1:00 a.m.
Physical: You may have circulation problems (especially your heart) or your gallbladder.
Mental: It means you have too much worry in your heart and mind. And these worries and resentments are now testing you.
Spiritual: You need energy. You are giving more than you are getting, and it is wearing you down. You may not be open to receiving, but you also may not know how to make yourself happy, so you rely on the idea of goals or the approval of others to do it for you.
Spiritual Significance of Waking up at 2 a.m.
Physical: You may be having digestive problems, either related to your small intestine or your liver. You may be eating or drinking too much or too little.
Mental: This is usually due to unresolved pockets of energy that you accumulated in early or middle childhood. When you were young, your inability to process what they meant made you either avoid or resist the circumstances in which they arose. Even today, it still has an impact on you.
Spiritual: You need to eliminate those old, limiting, inherited beliefs and ideas you have about yourself that you acquired before you were even aware of what was going on.
Spiritual meaning of waking up at 3 a.m.
Physical: You may have problems with your lungs. It may simply be an inability to breathe deeply and relax.
Mental: You need guidance and direction. Although you are beginning to have an awakening in your life, many things are still very new to you, so you are literally waking up in the spiritual “witching hour” (which is not necessarily a bad thing) to absorb more of the information you need.
Spiritual: Since 3am is the time when the veil between dimensions is at its lowest, it is possible that energies are trying to communicate with you (past loved ones, guides, etc.). It is also possible that, because you are becoming more sensitive to subtle energies, your body is waking up when there is more going on in the physical world. Stay awake and write down any messages you receive or ideas that pop into your head at this time.
Spiritual significance of waking up at 4 a.m.
Physical: You may have bladder or sweating problems. This is the time when your body temperature is lowest, so you may be too hot or too cold.
Mental: you may be too “hot or too cold” in your personal life, feeling both very fulfilled and sidelined by doubt. Know that this is part of the process, and will help you understand balance and duality.
Spiritual: You are in a time of ascension, upliftment and great change in your life. As you usher in the new, you must strive to accept letting go of the old.
Spiritual significance of waking up at 5am.
Physical: You may be having problems with your large intestine, or with your diet and nutrition.
Mental: You may not be convinced that you deserve the love of others or your own well-being. You are probably too caught up in your self-critical state of mind to really embrace all the amazing things you have built for yourself.
Spiritual: You are reaching a high point in your life where you are finally empowered, positive and thriving.
Waking up between 3 and 5 am can be a sign of a spiritual awakening.
My Sister’s Boyfriend Was Mocking the Family Cookout I Hosted — He Received a Reality Check Soon
When my sister Amanda brought her new boyfriend Jeff to our family cookout, we expected a laid-back afternoon of burgers and laughter. Instead, Jeff’s arrogant critique of our setup led to an unforgettable showdown at the grill, revealing more about him than any of us anticipated.
My sister Amanda brought her new boyfriend, Jeff, to our family cookout yesterday. It was a casual get-together with about thirty people. Everyone contributed something for the sides.

Amanda only brought a single bag of store-brand potato chips. Jeff, on the other hand, made himself at home by grabbing a beer right away before even saying hello to anyone.
We were having hamburgers and hot dogs, just relaxing with the family. Nothing fancy, just the way we liked it. The first plate of hot dogs was done, and we were waiting on the burgers when Jeff asked, “Is this it?”

My wife, Sarah, smiled and said, “The hamburgers will be ready soon.”
Jeff didn’t seem to care. “At my family’s barbecues, we have BBQ chicken, steak, shrimp, and many other options.” His voice had a hint of pride, and he looked around as if he was appraising our efforts.

I could feel my blood boiling, but I kept my cool for Amanda’s sake. Jeff kept talking, his condescending comments filling the air. “You know, you guys should come to my place next time. I can show you how a real barbecue is done.”
Sarah glanced at me, her eyes asking for patience. Amanda was busy chatting with our cousins, oblivious to Jeff’s attitude.

“Everyone has their own way of doing things,” Sarah said, trying to be diplomatic.
Jeff just shrugged. “Sure, but there’s always room for improvement, right?”
I clenched my teeth and took a deep breath. “Jeff, why don’t you sit down and enjoy what we have? It’s all about being together with family.”

He nodded but didn’t seem to take the hint. Instead, he kept sipping his beer and critiquing everything. “The setup is a bit basic, don’t you think? At my family’s cookouts, we have a whole setup with tents and a proper grill.”
“Yeah, well, we like to keep things simple,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “It’s about the company, not the presentation.”

Jeff looked like he was about to say something else, but Sarah cut in. “Amanda, why don’t you tell us more about your new job?”
Amanda turned, her face lighting up. “Oh, it’s been great! I’m really enjoying the new responsibilities.”
Jeff didn’t let the conversation shift for long. “You know, Amanda, we should host the next cookout. Show everyone how we do it.”

Amanda smiled awkwardly. “Maybe, Jeff. But let’s just enjoy today, okay?”
I couldn’t believe this guy. He hadn’t even bothered to introduce himself properly, and here he was, acting like he was better than us. I caught Sarah’s eye again. She gave me a small nod, silently telling me to stay calm.
My brother, Mark, walked over, holding a plate of burgers. “Burgers are ready!” he announced.

“Finally,” Jeff said under his breath.
I shot him a look, but he didn’t seem to notice. Everyone started grabbing plates and loading up on food. I made sure to get a burger and sat down next to Sarah.
“Just let it go,” she whispered. “He’s new.”
“I know,” I replied, trying to keep my voice low. “But he’s really pushing it.”

By this point, everyone was noticeably uncomfortable, and my wife was giving me the “please do something” look. I finally had enough when Jeff said, “Man, you guys really need to step up your game. This is kind of embarrassing.”
Without missing a beat, I turned to him and said, “You know what, Jeff? If this is so embarrassing, let’s go to the store right now, and you can show us how it’s done. We’ll buy everything you mentioned, and you can cook it yourself.”

Jeff looked a bit taken aback but didn’t back down. “Fine, let’s do it,” he said confidently.
I grabbed my keys, and Jeff and I headed to the store. We bought BBQ chicken, steaks, shrimp, and all the fancy sides Jeff had bragged about. When we returned, I handed him an apron and said, “Alright, Jeff, the grill’s all yours.”

Jeff started fumbling with the grill, clearly out of his element. It became quickly apparent that he had no idea what he was doing. He overcooked the steaks, turning them into tough, leathery messes. The shrimp were rubbery and over-seasoned. The BBQ chicken was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.
As we all stood there, trying not to laugh, I raised my glass and said, “To Jeff, for showing us how it’s done.” The whole family burst into laughter, and even Amanda couldn’t help but chuckle.

Jeff turned beet red and muttered something about the grill being faulty, but the damage was done. His bravado was shattered, and he spent the rest of the evening sulking in a corner.
The next day, Amanda called me, apologizing for Jeff’s behavior. She admitted she hadn’t realized how arrogant and clueless he was until that cookout. A few weeks later, she broke up with him, realizing she deserved someone who respected her family and wasn’t all talk.

“Hey, remember Jeff?” Mark said at our latest cookout, flipping a burger with a grin.
“Oh, how could we forget?” Sarah replied, shaking her head with a laugh.
“I still can’t believe he thought he could show us up,” Amanda added, smiling but with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“That was something,” I said, raising my beer. “To Jeff, the BBQ master.”
Everyone laughed, clinking their glasses together.
“You know,” Amanda continued, “I learned a lot from that day. It’s not just about what people say they can do, but what they actually do. Actions speak louder than words.”

“Absolutely,” Sarah agreed. “And you deserve someone who can really follow through on things.”
“I do,” Amanda nodded. “And I’ve found someone who does just that. Maybe I’ll bring him to the next cookout.”
“That’s great to hear,” I said, genuinely happy for her.

We all continued to reminisce, sharing stories and laughing. The memory of Jeff had become a funny, albeit embarrassing, chapter in our family’s history. It served as a reminder that no matter how fancy someone tries to make things, it’s the genuine effort and love put into something that truly matters.
“Who knew that one disastrous cookout would teach us so much?” Mark mused, taking a sip of his drink.

“Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons,” I said. “And sometimes, the best lessons come from the most unexpected places.”
“To family,” Sarah said, raising her glass.

“To family,” everyone echoed, smiling and enjoying the moment.
And so, even years later, the story of Jeff’s BBQ fiasco lived on, a legend within our family. It was a tale we would tell for years to come, always ending with laughter and a sense of togetherness.
