Dr. Eric Berg DC, who shares educational content online about health and wellness, has encouraged people to take note of when they wake up at night, not just how often.
Dr. Berg’s experience
In a recent YouTube video, Dr. Berg explained that cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone—should normally be at its lowest point between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. However, for some people, cortisol actually spikes during this period, disrupting sleep and negatively affecting daily functioning.
He also pointed out that magnesium helps regulate cortisol levels, suggesting that sleep problems linked to early-morning waking may be connected to a deficiency. He advises anyone struggling with persistent sleep issues to consult their GP.
