3. 1-3 a.m.: Gallbladder detoxification, similarly requiring deep sleep.
4. 3-5 a.m.: Lung detoxification. This explains why coughing intensifies during this period as toxins reach the lungs; avoid medication to prevent inhibiting waste elimination.

6. 7-9 a.m.: The small intestine's peak nutrient absorption period. Breakfast should be eaten. Those recovering from illness should eat early, before 6:30 a.m. Health-conscious individuals should eat before 7:30 a.m. Those who skip breakfast should change this habit; eating as late as 9 or 10 a.m. is better than skipping it altogether.
