As winter settles in, WBC's Drewmaholland tells us it's a good time to try to understand what keeps us up at night.
Restless nights. Can't sleep through the night, those starts and stops. Yeah, it's not good. Maybe you know the feeling, and one cause could be the hormone cortisol. This essentially has the opposite effect of melatonin, which helps us sleep. Cortisol wakes us up as part of our normal circadian rhythm. If cortisol levels are out of wax so is your sleep.
The waking of itself is not the problem.
The problem comes in when you're unable to go back to sleep in a reasonable amount of time.
