There are several reasons that explain sudden awakening at night.
All of them are of a medical nature and imply the need to treat the patient.
Lenta.ru listed the non-obvious reasons that interfere with a normal night's rest, citing the Telegram channel of endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang.
First, anemia
Cold hands and feet interfere with healthy sleep, and restless legs syndrome is also associated with this condition, an expert warns.
A person sleeps poorly because his body is forced to move in order to relieve symptoms.
Secondly, chronic intoxication
In this situation, the body faces a deficit of energy needed to maintain the cleansing processes. Reactions occur that interfere with normal sleep, or sleep becomes superficial and does not allow you to restore strength.
Thirdly, urination
During the cleansing process, the body removes toxins through urine, which forces a person to wake up several times during the night.
Fourth, parasites
Infection of the body with parasites also provokes poor sleep. The cause may be skin itching.
In addition, problems with sleep can be caused by increased heart rate, panic attacks, cold sweat, which develop with problems with the adrenal glands.
When blood sugar levels fluctuate at night, appetite may increase, and sleep problems may also develop after age 35 due to a lack of the hormone progesterone.
Earlier it became known which nuts are useful for women and which for men.
