In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the desire to lie down is seen as a manifestation of internal disharmony. Unlike Western medicine, which might attribute this to general fatigue or lifestyle factors, TCM looks at specific patterns of disharmony that could be causing this symptom. These patterns include imbalances in the body's Qi and Yang energy, and identifying the correct pattern is crucial for effective treatment.
