Sleep, Salt, & Soup

Stop the 3-4am Wake Up

It’s between 3 and 4am. Once again, you’re awake for seemingly no reason.

In the darkness, you sleepily stumble to the bathroom, thinking your bladder must be to blame for this undesired wake up.

But before we start pointing fingers (poor bladder), let’s look at additional reasons as to why people wake up in the dead of the night. I’ll also address why it’s often a struggle to fall back to sleep.

Salt: Friend or Foe?

So what’s the deal with salt?

Does it cause high blood pressure, dehydrate the body, increase hydration, or support the body during times of stress?

Yes. All of the above.

If you want salt to work to your advantage, you have to select the right type of salt and use it appropriately.
