Small changes can improve your sleep
Sleep issues seem to be on the rise and can be due to a myriad of things, such as stress, elevated cortisol, anxiety, hormonal fluctuations, decreased serotonin and therefore decreased melatonin production, the sleep hormone.
In addition, nutrient deficiencies such as vitamin D, magnesium, zinc or B vitamins, excess sugar and high glycaemic carbohydrate intake, dietary stimulants such as alcohol and caffeine and the use of electronic devices can all worsen sleep.
Diet and the gut microbiota also plays an important part in restorative sleep, and lacking tryptophan, fruits, whole grains and vegetables can all contribute to insomnia.
Unfortunately sleep deprivation can cause weight gain, insulin resistance, elevated cortisol and one’s satiety and hunger hormones leptin and ghrelincan become dysfunctional, thereby increasing hunger, especially for high fat, high energy foods. Insomnia can also increase risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus and depression.
Luckily there is an abundance of things one can implement dietary, lifestyle and supplement wise, to support normal sleep patterns¹.
