Struggling and waking tired even after a full night’s sleep? You’re not alone. Many Australians feel exhausted despite spending 7–8 hours in bed. But the cause might not be the number of hours… it could be how your body is functioning during sleep.
1. Your Body Can’t Heal When It’s Stressed
Your spine plays a vital role in how your body rests. Misalignments in the spine put pressure on your nervous system, keeping your body in a low-grade stress state—even when you’re asleep. With a lack of quality sleep you will be waking tired. According to the Sleep Health Foundation, stress is one of the leading disruptors of healthy sleep patterns. Chiropractic care at Family Chiropractic Chatswood focuses on correcting spinal misalignments to help your nervous system switch from “fight or flight” to “rest and repair.”
2. Cut the Screen Time Before Bed
Excess blue light from phones and TVs can suppress melatonin, the hormone your body produces to regulate sleep. Blue light stimulates the brain, interrupting your sleep/ wake cycle thus disrupting this essential hormone production. Without adequate melotonin your sleep quality and quantity will decrease leading you to continually wake tired. Experts recommend turning off screens at least 30 minutes before bed.
3. Chiropractic Supports Deep Sleep Naturally
When your nervous system is aligned and clear of interference, your body is more capable of entering deep, restorative sleep. This is when real healing happens.
