I have no difficulty falling asleep, but frequently wake up during the early morning hours (Sleep maintenance disorder).

This is because you are unable to enter deep sleep (Non-REM) stages and only experience shallow sleep. In Traditional Korean Medicine, it is understood that "Eumheo (Yin Deficiency)" or "Damjeok (Phlegm Accumulation)" can cause internal heat that interferes with sleep, or can lead to waking up due to the urge to urinate.

잠을 자도 잔 것 같지 않은 이유는 다음과 같습니다.

  • 체온: 수면 중에는 체온이 떨어져야 하지만, 속열이 있으면 더위 때문에 잠에서 깹니다. 이때는 열을 식혀주는 치료가 필요합니다.
  • 야간뇨: 밤에 화장실을 가느라 자주 깬다면, 신장 기운을 돋우는 약을 통해 소변을 농축시켜야 합니다.
💡 술

술을 마시면 빨리 잠들 수는 있지만, 알코올이 분해되는 과정에서 각성 효과가 나타나 새벽에 깨게 됩니다. 술은 숙면의 적입니다.
