Difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep or waking too early are common. You may not be aware that poor liver health could be to blame.
➡️Your liver is a vitally important organ because it performs more than 500 functions, such as detoxifying harmful substances, breaking down fat, storing nutrients and metabolising hormones. Liver conditions such as cirrhosis and fatty liver are often linked to disrupted sleep and insomnia, but even a mildly sluggish liver can cause a noticeable change to your sleeping habits.
➡️According to Chinese medicine, sleep disturbances between 1 and 3am are often linked to liver problems.
➡️If you suffer with stress or anxiety, your blood level of cortisol becomes elevated, thereby increasing your liver’s workload to break it down. If your liver health is poor, excess cortisol may remain in your bloodstream for longer, interfering with sleep.
➡️During your sleep, glycogen normally gets released into your bloodstream to keep your blood sugar stable for many hours while you’re not eating. People with a liver condition can run out of glycogen during the night and this can cause them to have a light, broken, unrefreshing sleep.
