Sleepy Dust

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep? The reason for middle of the night wake ups is usually a reaction to excessive amounts of stress hormones. When your stress hormone levels spike, it triggers a response that disrupts sleep patterns. The Solution: Sugar and salt. Yup. Sugar signals the body to shut down the stress hormones + salt helps maintain a homeostatic state in which adrenaline doesn’t spike.
