Do You Wake Up at 2 am? Is it Depression? Or is it...? by Jonni Good

am wake-up problem, for the same reason.)

Too much sugar (or too much alcohol) in the blood stream is

a dangerous situation, and your body will pull out all it's

forces to fight the "enemy." Unfortunately, the battle is

fought too aggressively, so by 2 am your blood stream has

too little glucose. And your brain needs glucose. Your brain

realizes that there's a big problem, so you need to wake up.

Protein can be reprocessed into glucose to feed the brain,

but it takes time. In the meantime, you lie there awake,

with an imbalance in your brain chemistry that tends to

cause a rehashing of everything negative from your day.

Your brain is looking for the cause of the problem but can't

find it, unless you understand that the 2 am wakening might

be caused by sugar or alcohol. The chances are fairly high

that your doctor will not ask you what you ate or drank if

you go to him for help. Since you don't know to look at your

diet for a clue to the problem, your brain looks everywhere

else - at the state of your marriage, at your financial

situation, at your children's school grades, at your career

prospects...

Next time you wake up too early, think about what you ate

and drank last night. By finding the real cause of your

insomnia, you may be able to save yourself a trip to the

doctor. You might even give yourself an excuse for a healthier

lifestyle at the same time.
