Do you toss and turn every night unable to fall asleep, only to barely drag your heavily weighed-down body out of bed in the morning? Have you ever spent the whole day in a daze, feeling your chest thumping or tight, and sensing an irregular pulse at your wrist? All of this is deeply connected to a lack of sleep. When you are short on sleep, your heart, the most vital organ in the body, becomes exhausted.

Did your body feel heavy as lead this morning, feeling stiff and unrested even after sleeping deeply? If you have ever felt your strength drain away and muscle pain worsen whenever you lacked sleep, consider the connection closely.

Do you grind your teeth throughout the night and wake up in the morning with a stiff jaw and a headache? You might have also experienced dreams of being chased last night. Sleep bruxism is one of the most common concerns brought to Korean medicine clinics. Rather than dismissing it as a simple sleeping habit, it may be a warning signal sent by your body.
