Did you know 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems?

Here's the problem.

• Melatonin supplementation is common, causing a deficiency in natural production of melatonin
• Blue light exposure from night-time cell phone use can cause sleep issues
• Respiratory problems can prevent deep sleep, and many young adults now smoke
• Stress often negatively impacts sleep - and stress levels are peaking
• Micronutrient deficiencies can cause lack of sleep, and diets are becoming more nutrient void
• Weight gain can cause sleep issues, and the obesity rate is climbing

Within a minute of falling asleep, notable changes start to affect both the brain and body.

Body temperature drops, brain activity ramps down, and heart rate and respiration slow. Not surprisingly, the body's energy expenditure is lower during sleep.

Your body goes through multiple sleep cycles, each of which lasts between 70 and 120 minutes.

• STAGE 1: Dozing Off - 1 to 5 minutes
• STAGE 2: Slowing body and brain activity - 10 to 60 minutes
• STAGE 3: Slow-Wave or Delta Sleep - 20 to 40 minutes
• STAGE 4: REM "Rapid Eye Movement" Sleep - 10 to 60 minutes

Our goal here is to spend more time in REM sleep, where memory and learning occur.

The body regulates sleep with two key drivers: sleep-wake homeostasis and the circadian rhythm alerting system:

• Sleep-wake homeostasis: This system is what makes the body tired - the longer you're awake, the more you feel a need to sleep.
• The circadian alerting system: Circadian rhythms last roughly 24 hours and play a central role in numerous biological processes. This system encourages wakefulness during the day and sleepiness at night.

A wide range of external factors and cause the above systems to act out of regulation - most commonly caffeine and blue light exposure.

Digging one level deeper, we can look at the hormones and chemicals that cause sleep:

• Adenosine: Builds up while we are awake until we sleep. Caffeine suppresses adenosine, explaining part of how it promotes wakefulness.
• Melatonin: Promotes sleep as light exposure decreases. It's important to note that you should not ever supplement with Melatonin, or any other hormone, as this will stymie natural production of said hormone, causing dependency.

Other crucial chemicals: GABA, acetylcholine, orexin and serotonin.

Sleep is still being studied as to exactly WHY all animal species sleep, but here's what we know:

• Sleep is fundamental to well-being
• Sleep is critical to physical and mental development in babies, children and young adults
• Lack of sleep has been linked with the following health consequences:
• Cardiovascular problems
• Weakened immune system
• Higher risk of obesity
• Impaired thinking and memory
• Mental health problems
