It’s the same story every night. You fall asleep fine, but then—bam. It’s 3:00 AM, and you are wide awake. Your mind is racing, your heart might be beating a little faster, and despite being exhausted, sleep feels impossible.
If this sounds familiar, you aren’t just "bad at sleeping." You are likely experiencing a biological stress response.
In a recent deep dive, health expert Thomas Delauer explained exactly why this "Witching Hour" wake-up happens and, more importantly, the specific ingredients you need to turn it off.
The Science: Why 3 AM?
According to Delauer, waking up suddenly in the middle of the night is rarely just random insomnia. It is often caused by a spike in cortisol—your body’s primary stress hormone.
The result? You wake up in a "fight or flight" state, making it physically impossible to relax back into deep sleep.
The Solution: The "Cortisol Cocktail"
To combat this spike, you don't just need a sedative; you need to calm the nervous system and lower your core body temperature.
In his breakdown, Thomas highlights two powerhouse ingredients that work together to fix the root cause:
-
Magnesium: Known as the "relaxation mineral," magnesium is essential for calming the nervous system and blunting the cortisol response.
-
Glycine: An amino acid that does something unique—it helps lower your core body temperature. Since your body must cool down to stay in deep sleep, Glycine acts as a thermal signal to your brain that it’s time to rest.
