As the days get longer and we get more sunlight ☀︎ inspired by East Asian Medicine and supported by Nobel laureates Hall, Rosbash, & Young for energy management. The Sun strengthens and the Moon nourishes, just as activity and rest are vital for internal harmony. Adjust this schedule accordingly to find your daily rhythm ~
🌅 6 AM to 10 AM: Rise with the Sun. Clear your system (oil pulling, salt rinse, bowel movement, hydrate).
*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cooked/warming foods are recommended and the ideal breakfast time is from 7 AM to 9 AM. From 9 AM to 11 AM your Spleen Qi is most active for transforming food to energy.
🍲 10 AM to 2 PM: Manage stress. Digest your largest, most nutrient-dense meal during the body’s peak metabolic window for optimal absorption.
༄.° 2 PM to 6 PM: Check in with your hydration levels. Conclude work activities and start winding down.
🌙 6 PM to 10 PM: Settle with the Moon. Be with yourself (explore hobbies/interests) and spend quality time with loved ones (share a meal), fur babies included.
🛌 10 PM to 2 AM: Begin your bedtime routine to prepare for deep rest and sleep by 11 PM.
*In TCM, deep sleep is crucial from 1 AM to 3 AM when your Liver Qi is most efficient for cleansing the blood, processing emotions, and detoxing your whole system.
🌄 2 AM to 6 AM: Quality rest and slow, fluid breaths. Maintain a consistent wake-up time.
Connect with your heart beat, practice patience as you observe what works, and align to what preserves your soul’s essence ☯︎ we’re all worthy to be here & thrive 🫶🏼
