In Chinese medicine, sleep happens when your Shen (spirit) returns to the Heart and rests. When Heart blood is deficient or Kidney yin is depleted, the Shen has no place to settle — it floats, causing insomnia, vivid dreams, and that "tired but wired" feeling. The connection between Heart and Kidney is critical: when Kidney water cannot rise to cool the Heart fire, your mind stays active all night like a pot boiling dry on the stove.
