We all have experienced waking up feeling groggy and tired, even though we slept enough hours. The sensation of an impenetrable helmet covering our heads is common and frustrating. For some of us, this has been going on for years. But what causes this fatigue in the morning? And how can we eliminate it?
According to Dr. Berg, most fatigue we experience in the morning is related to our diet. Eating too many carbohydrates, starches, and sugars can lead to insulin resistance. This issue occurs when there is insufficient insulin in the brain to drive glucose into the neuron cells, which means that we are not providing our brain cells with enough fuel, leading to the sensation of brain fog and tiredness.
Dr. Berg recommends switching from a carb to a protein breakfast, which can make a significant difference. In his own experience, changing to a protein breakfast has lifted the helmet-like sensation from his head, making him feel refreshed and rested upon waking up. This led him to study the ketogenic diet and the benefits of restricting carbs and sugars in our diet.
The problem with consuming too many carbs and sugars is that it can lead to cravings and mood swings. It is likely due to unstable blood sugar levels if we wake up hungry and cranky. The worst thing we can do in this situation is to add more carbs and sugars to raise our blood sugar, as it will only create a never-ending cycle of cravings, more carbs, and resistance.
To eliminate fatigue in the morning, we need to cut down on our carb and sugar intake throughout the day. It might take some time, but we will notice a significant improvement in our sleep quality and overall well-being in the morning. Intermittent fasting can also help us achieve this goal, with the first meal at noon and the second at least five hours before bedtime.
In addition to our diet, there are other factors to consider that can contribute to fatigue in the morning. Sitting in front of a computer or staring at our cell phone or laptop can expose us to electromagnetic fields influencing our body’s well-being. Blue light exposure from electronics can also impact our sleep quality, leading to tiredness in the morning. Dr. Berg recommends buying a tri-filled device to detect EMF and ensure we are not sleeping in an area with electromagnetic fields.
It is essential to take control of our bodies and remind ourselves that we are the boss. We should not let our bodies dictate what we eat and when. Avoiding cravings and giving in to our body’s desires strengthens our willpower, making it easier to make healthier choices in the long run.
In conclusion, waking up tired and groggy is common, but it does not have to be permanent. By changing our diet, cutting down on carbs and sugars, and incorporating intermittent fasting, we can eliminate fatigue in the morning and start our day feeling refreshed and energized. Knowing other factors affecting our sleep quality, such as electromagnetic fields and blue light exposure, is essential. Taking control of our bodies and making healthier choices paves the way for a better quality of life.
