Waking at 2 AM often linked to health issues

Health expert Dr. Eric Berg explains that waking up between 2 AM and 3 AM may be linked to imbalanced cortisol levels, magnesium deficiency, or unstable blood sugar. Common causes include high-carb diets, excessive screen time, and overstimulation. Dr. Berg notes that low magnesium can lead to muscle tension and nighttime awakenings. He suggests considering magnesium supplements and improving diet by reducing sugar and late-night snacks to stabilize blood sugar levels. Other factors affecting sleep include blue light from screens, overstimulation from media, and liver detoxification processes. Adjusting evening habits and nutrition may help improve sleep quality.
