i am looking back and reflecting on the stupid things ive done (and the sleep one in which i still do) and how its effected my health. I conclude with the following:
- High fish oil intakes - did this for few years, sometimes taking 8-12 tablets thanks to the bs advice from Dr John Berardi (runs Precision Nutrition).
- Eating Junk food, but hey we all do that.
- Poor sleep
my poor sleep is because of me. its a habit. I cant help but watch stupid things in youtube and so on. so i end up getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night, sometimes less. I also am a light sleeper, have trouble getting to sleep and sometimes wake up during night.
I need to take sleep more seriously, but I want to know how sleep effects our health - according to RP. And more importantly, whether it effects thyroid production, coz my thyroid has dropped.
I use to have TSH ranging from 0.7 to 1.3, and now recently its gone up to 2.3. This, coupled with stress/anxiety has also caused issues. My IBS was purely due to chronic stress.
So anyway, any info/facts on how sleep effects health (especially thyroid) would be great!
