- Why are we always so tired?
- We are always tired because of small energy thieves that rob us daily without us noticing. These include poor sleep hygiene, lack of proper rest, and ignoring our body's signals.
- How does lack of rest affect our health?
- Lack of rest accelerates aging, increases weight gain, and affects appetite by altering levels of grehlin and leptin hormones.
- How do our habits influence our lack of energy?
- Apathy and lack of energy are interconnected; exhaustion leads to apathy, and apathy leads to poor eating and sleep habits. This cycle can be broken by changing lifestyle habits.
- How can we detect what type of tiredness we have?
- There are ten types of tiredness, including physical, mental, social, and spiritual exhaustion. Identifying the type of tiredness helps choose the right type of rest for recovery.
- How does our disconnection with nature affect our sleep?
- Our disconnection from nature and the day/night cycle affects sleep by altering hormone secretion, fooling the brain into thinking it's daytime and disrupting melatonin levels.
