Sleep & Nutritional Deficiencies Part I
Insomnia can be caused by nutritional deficiencies of any kind:
1. Your body needs all the nutrients to repair while it is sleeping,
2. If it does not have them there is no point so it will
A. stay awake to eat more until it is ready to sleep
B. wake up early to eat more.
C. You might not feel hungry, especially if you are too acidic, but deficiencies could still be present.
I call this functional down-regulation: the body’s response is working, the mind just doesn’t get the message and tries to manipulate the symptoms back to normal by assuming the mechanism of sleep is not working. This is the distinction:
1. Mechanism of sleep not working: take melatonin, sleeping pills.
2. Function not working: nutrients missing to perform functions of repair and detoxification: investigate complex root causes specific to each individual. This can also things that interfere with digestion like food excesses and allergies and infections.
It can be both, but people generally only understand the first smaller problem because it is within the allopathic medicine paradigm of “taking this for that” matching solutions to symptoms.
