The REAL Reason You Wake Up At 3AM

Dr. Stasha Gominak, a neurologist who practiced for over 20 years and trained at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, believes she has uncovered a hidden cause behind a cluster of modern health problems, and that it traces back to a single change in how we live. She explains that after leaving neurology practice, she has worked with thousands of patients on sleep, and she noticed something the standard advice couldn't explain. The usual sleep treatments (blackout curtains, white noise, consistent bedtimes, treating the bedroom as a place for sleep) had failed all of them. They had tried everything. Her investigation started with young, thin women suffering daily headaches, who turned out to have almost no REM sleep in the first half of the night. Chasing that thread, she landed on the brainstem, the region that runs the autonomic nervous system, paralyzes us during REM sleep, and governs the balance between fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest. Her patients weren't getting the REM sleep that consolidates memory and regulates mood, which is why she'd been prescribing them antidepressants without addressing the root cause.
