The Sleep Detective podcast: why you can't sleep and how to fix it

210. Why You Wake Up at 3AM Every Night (+ The 3 Hidden Causes Your Doctor Missed)


Listen Later

Stop me if this sounds familiar: It's 3AM, your eyes snap open, your mind starts racing, and you're wide awake for the next hour or two, watching the clock tick by. You've probably been told it's just stress, or that you need better sleep hygiene, or maybe you should try more melatonin. But what if I told you that waking up at 3AM isn't random at all - and it's definitely not "just in your head"?

Today, I'm going to reveal the three most common biological reasons why your body is jolting you awake at 3AM like clockwork - and more importantly, exactly how to fix each one. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why your blood sugar, liver detox processes, and gut health might be sabotaging your sleep in ways you never imagined. Plus, I'll share how one of my clients went from 13 years of sleep struggles to sleeping 7.5 hours straight - and how she got excited about bedtime again.

This isn't about counting sheep or buying blackout curtains. This is about detective work - finding the real clues your body is giving you and solving the mystery of your 3AM wake-ups once and for all.
