I'm not sure that you know this or not, but intermittent fasting can potentially greatly

improve your sleep cycles, your circadian rhythm. Now inside your brain you have a circadian clock,

and when I'm talking about circadian, I'm talking about certain rhythms, okay? It's a timing

mechanism. The name of that clock is called super chiasmatic nucleus. Now this clock, which is

located in the brain, is highly influenced by eating, temperature, stress, light, and darkness.

So when the temperature is cold, guess what? You get hungry when your body is stressed. You're

not going to sleep. If you're too much light, it's going to inhibit a hormone called melatonin,

which is going to keep you up. And the winter time, it gets dark, so we get this spike in melatonin

Now the times that you're not sleeping, or let's say you're traveling to another part of the world,

where you have jet lag, and the time zones are off, your appetite majorly goes up in a big way.

And eating in general creates stimulation of your organs, especially your liver, and your muscles,

and that's going to keep you from sleeping. Also a diabetic, which usually has a problem with insulin,

has a higher incidence of sleep apnea, okay? And this comes from high levels of insulin,

and what triggers insulin? Frequent eating and eating too many carbs. The absolute worst time to

eat is right before bed, and now you know why. But this nighttime snacking is the worst. Try to

get a good night's sleep when you're completely bloated. When you consume sugar, for example,

you have a spike of insulin. Now here's the thing, when insulin goes up, you're going to feel tired,

and this is why diabetics, for example, after lunch, need to take a nap. Now I remember when I was

in my 20s, I had a serious time sleeping, and I would actually consume, I'm not kidding, a pint,
