Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the

journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

So I have a question. What do you think would happen to your body if you actually did not sleep for 72 hours?

Let's talk about it. Well, at 24 hours of no sleep, you're going to feel a lot of drowsiness. You're going to feel irritable. You're going to have impaired judgment. It's going to affect your memory.

You're going to have more muscle tension, more stress,

and you're actually going to be at risk for accidents if you're driving.

Okay.

Now, at 36 hours, your cortisol is going to go up, which is going to release a lot of sugar in your body and your liver, which is going to affect your insulin.

So your cortisol is going to go up, your insulin's going to go up, but your growth hormone is going to go down.

And that's directly related to your ability to repair muscle and also repair all your proteins in your body and also lose weight.

So growth hormone was like the anti-aging hormones, so you might age faster than you should.

Your appetite will go up. I've noticed this. If I don't get enough sleep like I'm hungrier your metabolism will go down

I've seen this with a lot of people who are trying to lose weight but they're not sleeping

well your metabolism goes down when you're not sleeping moodiness okay higher stress levels

you're going to be extremely tired hormonal imbalance poor reasoning decreased motivation

and so if you have poor reasoning or you feel like you don't have enough more motivation

or you're tired it could be that you're just not getting the quality of sleep, because it's not just the quantity of sleep, it's the quality of sleep.

So if you have any of these symptoms,

you want to watch my videos on increasing the quality of your sleep.

Okay, at 48 hours, two days, staying up, not sleeping.

Your body might be shutting down periodically

for 30 seconds just to get what's called a micro sleep.
