WW: Wake Up with Energy by Resetting Your Circadian Rhythm

The more I study anti-aging and longevity the more I realize just how important sleep is…

If you are not sleeping well at night or waking up at the right time for your body, you are going to be exhausted and burnt out.

So today I want to help you understand how cortisol production works, why it is important, and the role it plays in having a healthy sleep cycle.

By figuring this out we can begin to understand the best times for us to go to bed and wake up to ensure we optimize our cortisol production.

Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2742 to find out how you can wake up with energy by resetting your circadian rhythm – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. How Does Cortisol Production Work

Cortisol rises in the morning and slowly decreases throughout the day. Your peak cortisol levels should be between 6-8 am. As cortisol begins to decrease in the evening, melatonin begins to rise.

2. What Time Should You Go To bed

If you are going to bed past 10 pm you may be missing the melatonin window and then cortisol may be giving you a 2nd wind. The optimal bedtime would be between 9-10 pm with a waking time of 6 am.

3. How to Fix Your Sleep Cycle

If you find yourself going to bed too late in the evening, try to work your bedtime back by 15 minutes each week. Allow yourself to wake up on your own in the morning or use a wake light to ensure you are not waking up during a REM cycle.
