U definitely too much fire in your eight pillar. I believe you are most active from

11 pm to 1 am - rat hrs

1 am to 3 am - ox hrs

Means you are lacking in water, headache, sore throat, dark complexion, big eyes?

3 am to 5 am - tigert hrs

Meaning you lacking in wood, full head of hair or thinning? Little hair on your body?

3 am is the most yin hr.

I guess u r most tired during 9 am to 3 pm ?

I used to makan snacks at 12 midnite, shower at 1 am & sleep at 3 am.

It's not good. According to TCM, your body need to sleep btw 11pm to 1am.

Yin fire will build up in the body causing pimples, sore throat, etc.

Bad on skin & overall well-being.

This builds up undesirable energies in the body which attracts u-know-what.

Guys, pls learn to luv yourself by developing good sleeping habits.

Chinese back in the old days divide time using the 12 zodiac animals, for the years, months, hours, etc.

But they don't use the characters 鼠牛虎兔龙蛇马羊猴鸡狗猪, instead it's 子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥 representing each of the animals (refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthly_Branches).

Hour-wise, the modern 11 pm is the beginning of a new day. Which is why Chinese parents often advise kids to turn in by 11 pm.

Each 2-hour period is a Chinese shichen (时辰). Hence:

11 pm - 1 am: 子时 rat hour

1 am - 3 am: 丑时 ox hour

3 am - 5 am: 寅时 tiger hour

5 am - 7 am: 卯时 rabbit hour

7 am - 9 am: 辰时 dragon hour

9 am - 11 am: 巳时 snake hour

11 am - 1 pm: 午时 horse hour

1 pm - 3 pm: 未时 ram hour

3 pm - 5 pm: 申时 monkey hour

5 pm - 7 pm: 酉时 rooster hour

7 pm - 9 pm: 戌时 dog hour

9 pm - 11 pm: 亥时 pig hour

If you ever watched traditional Chinese movies, you may find those royal time announcers announcing those as above.
