Why you wake at 2AM

Hi there,

Ever woken at 2 AM, wide awake?

You lie there for hours, restless.

By morning, you’re foggy, heavy, and tired - even after “a full night’s sleep.”

Most women blame age.

But the real trigger starts earlier in the evening.

It’s dinner.

And the surprising part?

It’s not what you eat, but when.

Eating too close to bedtime keeps your body in “work mode.”

Digestion keeps your heart rate higher.

Melatonin, your sleep hormone, gets delayed.

Your core temperature never cools the way it should.

The result?

You miss out on deep, restorative sleep.

Here’s the fix:

👉 Finish your last meal 2–3 hours before bed.

Why it matters:

• Your body finishes digestion before sleep, so it can focus on recovery.

• Blood sugar stays steady, so you don’t wake up at 2 AM wide awake.

• Your body temperature drops naturally, helping you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Think about when you’ll eat your last bite tonight.

Shift it up just half an hour — and see what happens tomorrow morning.

One small shift at a time.

With you every step,
