LYING IN BED WIDE AWAKE AT MIDNIGHT? YOUR BRAIN IS RUNNING ON THE WRONG FUEL SWITCH IT IN 5 MINUTES

30-Day The Drainage Protocol; https://laurachen.gumroad.com/l/drainage-protocol Wide awake at 3 AM with a racing heart and no idea why? You've probably been blaming stress, worry, or "just getting older." But for many people over sixty, that sudden middle-of-the-night waking isn't a mind problem at all — it's a fuel problem. In this video, Dr. Laura Chen explains how your liver feeds your brain overnight, why the tank can run out around two to four in the morning, and how an adrenaline surge meant to save you ends up jolting you awake. Then she walks you through the simple, slow-fuel switch you can make in about five minutes before bed. ⚠️ This video is educational and is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. If you take medication for diabetes, do not change your routine on your own — speak with your doctor or pharmacist. See a clinician for snoring/gasping in sleep, frequent nighttime urination, chest pain, night sweats, or any persistent sleep problem. 🔗 SOURCES & FURTHER READING National Institute on Aging — Sleep and Older Adults: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/sleep/sleep-and-older-adults Diabetes Care (American Diabetes Association) — The Impact of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia on Sleep: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/38/11/2151/37651/The-Impact-of-Nocturnal-Hypoglycemia-on-Sleep-in PLOS Medicine — Defective Awakening Response to Nocturnal Hypoglycemia (epinephrine rises before waking): https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0040069 StatPearls / NCBI Bookshelf — Biochemistry, Glycogenolysis (liver fuels the brain during fasting): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK549820/ ScienceDirect Topics — Liver Glycogen Level (the overnight reserve and how long it lasts): https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/glycogen-liver-level MedlinePlus (NIH) — Sleep Disorders in Older Adults (other causes & when to see a provider): https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000064.htm ⚕️ DISCLAIMER The information in this video is for educational and informational purposes only.
