It may be saying, well, I need to stay vigilant and I need to continue problem solving.
And there's still a lot of work to be done.
And so we need energy.
We need to be burning ATP instead of restoring and creating it.
So we can measure that now with these wearables.
It's quite remarkable.
when we can create a decrease in our arousal from our more yellow mind state before sleep, we are allowing our
parasympathetic nervous system to get a head start on reaching its nadir, its lowest level of arousal.
That happens during deep sleep.
And so during sleep in general, we want to have this release of stress.
This is when we reset our metabolism.
We develop more insulin sensitivity.
We get out of that insulin resistant or pre-diabetic state that we might've been in from stress.
We reset.
It's also when growth hormone and anabolic hormones that restore and promote growth, depending on what stage of our life, when we're younger, promoting growth, when we're older, repairing and restoring.
So these...
Only some of them, like growth hormone as adults, mostly appear during the night and not during the day.
So we just want to protect that restorative period.
It's precious.
I think some of us are just worse sleepers in general, and so we need to work a little bit harder.
