Is insomnia due to high cortisol?
Sleep is the best restorative of the human body. In fact, we spend about one-third of our lives sleeping, reflecting the importance of sleep in natural design. Studies have shown that long-term insomnia increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer, while sleeping less than four hours per night significantly increases the risk of depression. In addition, sleep deprivation is also associated with cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies.
Normally, cortisol levels in our bodies are higher during the day, which helps to cope with stress and increase alertness. At night, cortisol levels should drop and melatonin is secreted, which helps us get into a resting state. However, the stresses of modern life often keep people in a high-stress state at night, affecting the normal secretion of melatonin.
