Description
When the lightbulb was invented, our relationship with sleep began to change. Research from the National Institutes of Health reveals that Americans are suffering from a lack of sleep, which is linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. Our bodies have an innate biological rhythm that regulates hormones and neurotransmitters, influencing appetite, fertility, and overall health. However, when we rely on artificial light to extend our day, we disrupt this natural balance. This can lead to storing fat, slowing metabolism, and even premature aging. The consequences are stark: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, infertility, mental illness, and premature aging. This book sheds light on the shocking findings that have been hiding in plain sight. It reveals the role of sleeplessness in these diseases, the limitations of carbohydrate-rich diets, and the lifesaving information that can turn things around.
