3am wake-up CAUSED BY LOW CARB DIET ( FIX WITH 5 APPLES AND 2 PEARS )
My 3am wake-up, with a spike of cortisol and adrenaline, was caused by a diet low in carbs, found out yesterday.
Apparently, this is very well known information in online spaces that discuss dieting, a low carb diet is called a keto diet, and it is known to cause insomnia, specifically waking up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep.
I looked into it more, an apple has 25 grams of carbs, and a pear has 27 grams of carbs.
Yesterday night I ate 5 apples and 2 pears, slept amazing.
Might cause some stomach pain if you've been eating a low carb diet for a long time though, since your body is not used to carbs anymore.
Hope this helps!
