Famous writer and longevity guru Dave Asprey, 50, claims to have solved the reason why many people wake up at 3am. He believes that all is to blame for fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This UNN writes with reference to Daily Mail.
Details
According to Asprey, falling glucose levels trigger the release of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which awaken people from sleep. In his Instagram video, he elaborated on this.
In most people who wake up between 3 and 5 a.m. and can't go back to sleep, it's usually due to a drop in blood sugar levels
He explained that cortisol and adrenaline cause the release of extra glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles. But at the same time, cortisol and adrenaline wake up the brain.
He recommended a small snack before bedtime. Like a little honey.
Recall
To fall asleep faster, the expert sleepologist recommends to choose 1-2 relaxing activities before bedtime and avoid gadgets, smoking and alcohol. It is important to create a ritual that is repeated daily to develop a conditioned reflex to fall asleep.
