Reasons Why We Need to Sleep Early


Many of us loves to call ourselves as a "Night Creature", "Hooter", "Night Owl" or other terminologies that depicts a person who is awake at night especially for those who lives in the city where life start when darkness fall. I also consider myself as a "Night Person" especially when i was still a bachelor and living in the city. Even now that im already married and lives in the countryside, my internet shop requires me to sleep late(around 11 pm)and in effect, to wake up late.

Several days ago, i received a forwarded email from a friend about reasons why we need to sleep early and wake up early. I want to share it with you hoping that it might somehow help convince us to do so.

Evening at 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am:
detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.

For a person like me who have liver problems, i need to hit the haysack atleast before 10 pm to help with liver detoxification. I'm thinking of ways how can i follow this routine without compromising my bread and butter.

How about you, are you a "Night Person"?
