To Eat, Perchance To Sleep

When you eat, perhaps as much as what you eat, has a direct impact on sleep and wake cycles set by the brain.

Hypnotherapy for Sleep can help increase deep restful sleep.

Melatonin, Magnesium, Theanine, and Tryptophan bring Sleep.

The natural human circadian rhythm cycle is 24.2 hours long.

Sleep is closely connected to Anxiety, Depression and Stress.

Theanine can be found in tea.

fMRI: 2 key regions of the brain : Amygdala which directs emotional responses, in the prefrontal cortex, is responsible for emotional regulation, decisions making, and critical thinking. 

Deep-sleep stage called slow-wave sleep, is linked to strong activity in the Prefrontal Cortex and lower anxiety.  

Slow-wave sleep resets the a balance between the sympathetic nervous system (guardian of the fight or flight response), and the Parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).

Stress and anxiety during waking hours activate the sympathetic system. But the parasympathetic system dominates slow-wave sleep, when heart rate slows and blood pressures drops. Sleep disturbances rob our body of this soothing cycle.

Circadian rhythm is governed by the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus, a group of cells in the hypothalamus that receive input from light-sensitive neurons.

The right amount of sleep varies by a person’s age, adults from 18 to 64 need seven to nine hours per night, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

It typically takes an adult between 10 to 20 minutes to fall asleep.

A night of poor sleep lowers pain tolerance the following day by 15%.

10% of Americans experience chronic insomnia, according to the CDC.

Keeping the same sleep schedule every day, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, maintaining a cool bedroom, and avoiding screen time before bed all aid sleep.

Hypnotherapy for Sleep can help increase deep restful sleep.
