Most people are familiar with the terms diurnal and nocturnal. Diurnal means active during the daytime, while nocturnal means active during the nighttime. Together the two make up a 24-hour cycle known as a day. But, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this 24-hour cycle is viewed as much more than just a day in the life. The 24 hours of the day are viewed as increments of time and every two-hour section is associated with a specific energetic meridian that runs through the body. This is known as the Qi clock.
Do you wake up every night or every morning about the same time? Have you ever wondered why? Some people call that an internal clock. In Chinese medicine, this gives a much deeper look into how the body functions though. Chinese medical theory divides the body based upon the 12 energetic meridians. Each of the meridians is assigned a two-hour time slot.For example, the liver meridian is associated with the hours of 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. If you wake up during this time frame, then there is an issue with your liver meridian. So knowing this information can be very important to an acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner.

During a 24-hour period, your energy or Qi (pronounced “chee”) moves through the organ systems in two-hour intervals. Qi draws inward to help restore the body between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. The liver cleanses the blood and performs other functions, such as getting the blood ready to travel outward into the rest of the body.Over the next 12 hours, Qi cycles through the organs that assimilate, digest and eliminate food through the body or our diurnal organs. By mid-afternoon, the body begins to slow down again in preparation for the nocturnal phase. The nocturnal phase is all about restoring and maintaining. So when one organ system is at its peak, its counterpart, on the opposite side of the clock is at its lowest point. An example is 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., which are the hours of the stomach. This is when the stomach is at its peak and also why it is recommended to eat a big breakfast. On the opposite side of the clock lies the pericardium, which is associated with the pituitary, hypothalamus and reproductive organs. The pericardium is at its weakest point between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Here’s a brief summary of the 24 hour Qi cycle:
- 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. is Lung time
- 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. is Large Intestine time
- 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. is Stomach time
- 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. is Spleen time
- 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. is Heart time
- 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. is Small Intestine time
- 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. is Urinary Bladder time
- 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. is Kidney time
- 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is Pericardium time
- 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. is Triple Burner time
(associated with the thyroid and adrenals) - 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. is Gall Bladder time
- 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. is Liver time
So if you have recurring problems at the same time every day, then there is a good chance that the organ/meridian associated with that time is in distress. This is why Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners ask so many questions and also why they look at the body as a whole instead of just one particular organ. By understanding that every organ/energetic meridian has a maintenance schedule to keep daily, you can then treat your body properly so you achieve the ultimate health and well-being and acupuncture can help you achieve that goal. Acupuncturists treat the body based on things like your symptomology, your pulses, your tongue and the 24-hour Qi clock indications you exhibit. The goal is to bring the body back into balance and knowing when the meridians are at their peaks and valleys is a great place to begin.

Summary: The Qi Wireless Charging Alarm Clock Bluetooth Speaker is indeed a smart device!
As smartphones become more integrated into our lives, we rely less on other devices like digital alarm clocks. However with the Qi Wireless Charging Alarm Clock Bluetooth Speaker from Laser, this is more than just a traditional digital alarm clock as it successfully incorporates a variety of features into this product, particularly from a smartphone perspective. So whether it’s located in your bedroom, office or kitchen, you’ll soon find this system the go to place for your smartphone(s)… even playing your favourite music.
Best described as a multi-purpose alarm clock, this clever product from Laser offers Qi wireless charging (e.g. cable free charging), 3 USB charging ports, the ability to listen to music via tap-and-go NFC or Bluetooth plus a digital clock, two alarms, temperature display and FM/AM radio. So as you can see, the Laser Qi Wireless Charging Alarm Clock Bluetooth Speaker perfectly amalgamates a variety of technologies together in order to maximise your experience and more importantly, usefulness.
Although the Laser Qi Wireless Charging Alarm Clock Bluetooth Speaker looks like your traditional digital alarm clock that boasts a sturdy yet simplistic design, all the controls are well located and the display information is set out well. Also, the positioning of the USB ports work well as does the wireless charging on top of the device. Further to this, I like how all the ports are located at the back of this device, including the AUX port (3.5mm audio connection) as it keeps everything nice and simple. As mentioned, the product supports Qi wireless charging so if you have a new Apple or Samsung device, you simply place your smartphone on top and it automatically commences charging.
The ‘classic’ features of this multi-purpose alarm clock features the ability to set two consecutive alarm clocks which can either use the radio or the built-in buzzer. Given that we are so reliant on digital technology, it’s nice that this product gives you access to FM radio which is a refreshing change. To help with sleeping, the device even has three built-in audio tracks that last for 30 minutes and could best be described as lullabies which are quite soothing.

Setting up the Laser Qi Wireless Charging Alarm Clock Bluetooth Speaker is a relatively simple process and once you have powered the device, the next step is to pair it with your smartphone in order to establish a Bluetooth connection. Once the connection has been established, this will automatically play music from your phone to the multi-purpose alarm clock or you can use the NFC feature or use the 3.5mm input to connect an external audio device. The only additional setup is searching for your radio stations.

The audio quality of the product is far superior to standard digital alarm clocks and given the size, it does a well enough job with its audio levels. As the product uses Bluetooth, you can make and receive calls while your smartphone is charging. As there are two buttons on the top which act as a dial, these are the main controls on the device and after using it for a day or so, navigating the product becomes second nature. If Bluetooth is enabled on the product, the bottom of it will glow blue which can be a little bright at night.
