Sleep & Nutritional Deficiencies Part II
People sleep better when they have been active all day.
They feel satisfied and their physical rhythms are ready.
What energizes you during the day are also nutrients for repair at night.
Increase energy throughout the day to balance your whole system, not just take something at night for sleep.
Some people can’t sleep if they eat at night, so we do not have to eat everything before bed to get nutrients for repair or for the sleep mechanism to work. In fact, digestion and utilization for repair during rest can be separate in time and space: eat in the kitchen, not in the bed, earlier in the day.
Not taking a long time to wake up, resting a lot and finally having a few good hours to concentrate late at night as fits the pattern of low cortisol in the morning that is finally high at night. That is just one way to measure this pattern, cortisol is not the cause. Adrenals and hormonal anything is not a root cause diagnosis as I have explained before that anyone can easily find.
You may have a dozen supplements, super foods, and sunlight in an individualized diet and protocol just for you take when or before energy is low, for example:
Load up before you slump and can’t think straight and think you need a nap but can’t sleep anyway. It is possible to keep energy high all day and few people know how to identify and address deficiencies and root causes in and individualize way. I explain “how” all the time in publically available writing, so don’t ask how in a comment. There is not general solution, only individualized and complete solutions with all weak links in order of priority to implement as cofactor nutrients.
It’s good to just rest if that is where you are at.
It’s good to get up early to get all the sun’s light, especially in northern winters when the day is short.
This is an example of whole system intervention “for” sleep that can work better than trying to manipulate the mechanism of sleep at night directly.
This illustrates the systems theory principle that cause and effect can be unrelated in time and space. Sometimes the point of intervention is more powerful when it is furthest away, as in the analogy to using a lever: the longer the lever is the more effect it has on the other side of the pivot point on the see saw. If you had a lever long enough, you could single-handedly move the earth, goes the analogy.
Melatonin is a good example of that as people use it the way that is opposite of how it works.
People take melatonin “for” sleep at night as bedtime approaches.
Natural melatonin production begins distantly in time and space at the ass end of night as the sun rises and through the eyes.
If you expose your face to the sun in morning, even on a cloudy day as that light is still better for reading than indoor lights, this begins the process of hormonal regulation to wake up and produce day hormones like serotonin and prepare to produce more melatonin at night if you turn off or dim the lights with orange glasses, light bulbs, screen tints, etc.
The deeper issue is the nutritional deficiencies of sunlight, our most important nutrient.
Sunlight is not just “for” vitamin D, the great supplement pill in the sky.
Sunlight is “for” electrons in our body that are part of all chemical reactions that are “for” everything.
Photons are converted to electrons via Einstein’s photoelectric effect by polarizing the charge of the water in our blood. Dr. Jack Kruse and Stephanie Senoff have explained this. Kruse has explained melatonin and light as a system at great depth, They eye is not just a camera, it is clock for timing everything, quips Kruse.
Similarly, melatonin is not just “for” sleep but is part of total hormonal regulation that effects when and how other nutrients are used. Melatonin is also an antioxidant like glutathione that is in every cell of the body.
Sunlight is both and energy input and regulator of utilization of all inputs.
Sunlight is “for” sleep indirectly, but directly it can wake you up, so you cannot understand it as simple A to B, which is what the word “for” means.
We tend to think in two simple words.
Sleep is “for” being tired.
Tired is a lack of energy.
Sleep is actually an active process to facilitate trillions of bio chemical physics reactions that are different than the trillions that occur in the day. Both depend on each other as a whole system, not as separate spheres of symptoms.
Sometimes to sleep better you have to energize during the day to work on the opposite side of the equation.
Sometimes it is helpful to work on the mechanism of sleep in a narrow sense. Some people depend on sleep supplements and that is fine for now. If it is working your body’s equilibrium may depend on it. That does not mean that better is best. Taking melatonin may disrupt natural melatonin production and you could wake up early because of it, some people believe. Nutrition is often a just-in-time system of production in which customer requirements are satisfied by exactly the right think at the right time in the right amounts, without excess “inventory” clogging and dysregulating the system.
You can begin to address all the weak links in your system by identifying all weak links in nutrition, including physics of nutrition through sunlight and toxic exposures to light from electronics especially ALAN: artificial light at night.
This is a paradigm shift. No one likes abstraction like paradigm, they want examples like I just gave, but some cannot understand that because the only capacity of their brains is the little slot for A to B. Some get it when they read it, but don’t retrain their habits of thinking to look in more complex ways like considering causes and solutions at opposite ends of the system.
The reason people don’t get better is how they make decisions by searching for what they think the answer looks like. And because practitioners are usually limited in the same way.

- Upon waking.
- Late morning for that slump and to prevent the after lunch slump, unless it is a good time to nap, it may help you sleep.
- Late afternoon before you slump, or even to help you nap then if that works.
