The Hidden Dangers of Not Sleeping
And How to Fix Any Sleep Problem
When we don't get a good night's sleep we feel irritated, stressed, anxious and exhausted. We can't focus, we can't think clearly and we dramatically shorten our lifespan.
That's from new research by the University of California, Berkeley which says when we don't sleep we do serious damage to our mind and body... I explain exactly what happens when we don't sleep and what we can do to get better sleep every night in this article.
We want to sleep, we know we'll feel a lot better when we get good, deep, restful sleep but each night we're exhausted, we finally get to bed, hoping for a good night’s sleep but instead we lie there awake… our mind is filled with all kinds of thoughts.
You feel overwhelmed, anxious, you have doubts, fears and worries that are racing through your head… you can’t seem to shut them down and fall asleep.
Hours go by and you’re still awake, tossing and turning.
By the time morning arrives you’re even more exhausted than the night before and you have another stressful day ahead… somehow you have to get the energy to get through it… again.
During the day it’s difficult to think clearly, you get down on yourself, feel cranky, easily upset, snap at people for even the smallest things, feel tired and just want a good night’s sleep.
Sounds familiar? That was me just about every night and it lasted for years until I found a natural solution that lets you sleep through the night which I'm about to share with you below. If you're struggling to sleep at night, feel anxious and stressed every day don't worry... those sleepless nights are about to end… there is a way to get the good, decent sleep you want and need NATURALLY…No longer feel stressed, anxious, or worried… with no medication and no side effects.
Hi, I’m Karim Hajee like you I used to struggle to sleep at night it got so bad that I would often tell my friends: "I'm so tired, I could fall asleep standing up." And I'd often feel like nodding off when I found a couch only to be denied by my overactive mind.
My wife and I are raising 4 young children, we have multiple businesses to run and there’s a lot going on all of which creates a lot of stress and often leaves us feeling anxious and worried.
Everything was fine until a few years ago. It started gradually, a few things would make us feel stressed which led to a few sleepless nights here and there.
I thought it was just because I had a lot going on and my mind would calm down after I took care of everything. But that didn’t happen.
Instead, life got more stressful, I felt more anxious and worried and it got harder and harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
The worry thoughts would fill my mind, I felt like I had too much to do and not enough time.
I wondered what would happen if things didn’t work out. How we would manage, what about my kids… there were all kinds of doubts and fears that kept me up at night.
I just didn’t feel like my normal, upbeat self.
My Doctor suggested medication but I wanted to find out what was really going on and I also wanted a natural solution, after all I used to be able to sleep like a rock and thought I should be able to just fall asleep easily.
I’m a former Investigative Reporter so I put my Research skills to work and started looking for the real cause of my sleepless nights and finding a natural solution.
After spending several months combing through articles and talking to experts, Doctors, Nutritionists, and Dieticians...
I discovered the main reason why we can’t fall asleep and stay asleep.
The Real Reason We Can't Sleep (this is surprising)
The real cause of our sleepless nights is Cortisol.
What’s Cortisol?
(that's what I said when I first asked about it)
When we feel stressed our brain produces Cortisol to help us stay alert and give us energy so we can deal with the stressful situations quickly and easily.
Cortisol is designed to help us in one time stressful situations like being confronted by a bear in the woods.
The extra cortisol ramps up our adrenaline and gives us the energy and mental clarity to make a quick decision to fight or run for our life.
In either case, once the stressful situation is over, our cortisol drops and we feel fine.
Today we’re constantly under stress and so our brain keeps producing more and more cortisol but we can’t burn it off quickly enough to feel better by the end of the day.
Our bodies aren’t designed to handle so much stress and when we don’t burn off the extra cortisol it stays in our body and our mind becomes over active – filled with all kinds of thoughts.
The next day we have more stress and we end up producing and storing even more cortisol which prevents us from falling asleep and makes us feel more anxious and more stressed.
It’s a vicious cycle which prevents us from falling asleep and staying asleep.
When we finally go to bed we can’t fall asleep and stay asleep because our mind is over active from all the cortisol that we’re keeping in our body.
And with each new day of stress in all areas of life, our cortisol levels increase... preventing us from falling asleep and increasing feelings of overwhelm and anxiety.
What Should Really Happen When You Go To Sleep
That’s not the way our body is supposed to work.
Instead, when we go to bed at night our body is supposed to have high levels of sleep hormones which are Melatonin and GABA and low levels of Cortisol
When we have too much Cortisol it prevents our brain from producing enough of the natural sleep hormones, melatonin and GABA.
As a result, we feel anxious, overwhelmed, worried and instead of falling asleep we lie there wide awake thinking of all kinds of things.
Why Medication, Sleep Aids and Melatonin Won’t Work
The Dangers of Sleep Medication
Research into sleep medication found that when it comes to memories sleep medication acted as a memory eraser, often wiping out memories from the previous days.
But the most alarming findings on sleep medication came from studies done at the University of Pennsylvania which found that those who took sleeping pills were 3 to 5 times more likely to have shorter life spans. Taking as little as 18 sleeping pills a year increased the chances of an early death by 3 times! The more sleeping pills consumed the higher the likelihood of a shorter lifespan.
Further studies found that sleep medication weakened the immune system putting our bodies at risk of getting infections and diseases. (8)
Researchers concluded that sleep medication doesn't provide the deep, restful sleep the body needs to rejuvenate and heal itself, regardless of the kind of sleep medication.
Why Melatonin Won't Work
Taking more Melatonin or GABA to help us sleep won't work. It may help in the beginning but after a while taking more melatonin and GABA to compensate will just make us feel groggy and doesn’t work because we’ve got too much cortisol which is working against the Melatonin and GABA.
Sleep medication and over the counter sleep aids don’t solve the problem which is high cortisol.
The solution is to reduce our cortisol so we fall asleep and stay asleep.
When we reduce our Cortisol we no longer experience those worry thoughts or negative thoughts that keep us up at night.
We no longer feel stressed and anxious.
Instead, we feel calmer, confident and more optimistic.
I’ll show you how we can lower cortisol naturally thanks to an ancient remedy I discovered in the next few paragraphs, but first I want you to fully understand the dangers of high cortisol brought on by constant stress which makes us feel anxious and prevents us from not getting the good sleep our mind and body needs.
WARNING: The Dangers of High Cortisol and Poor Sleep
High Levels of Cortisol prevent us from getting a good night's sleep. Scientists have found that poor sleep leads to:
- Weight Gain
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Disease
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic Fatigue
High levels of cortisol make us crave sugary snacks and processed carbohydrates which lead to excess weight and Type 2 diabetes. In one study Researchers found that poor sleep led to an average of an extra 15 pounds a year.
Further studies found that high levels of cortisol force the heart to pump more blood creating more pressure on our blood vessels and arteries which leads to high blood pressure and heart disease.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley also discovered that because of the constant stress we experience our body’s internal Cortisol Production Switch is stuck in the “On” position (1) – meaning we’re constantly producing cortisol even while we’re sleeping!
This puts additional strain on the heart and leads to further weight gain.
This constant production of cortisol is what keeps us up at night, prevents us from sleeping, and makes us feel anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, worried and tired.
All while doing serious damage to our body and internal organs.
When we have too much cortisol we can’t sleep which creates even more health issues and poses a serious danger to our health and well-being
Reference: 'Why We Sleep', Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology University of California, Berkeley
After combing through 30 years of research and more than 17-thousand clinical studies, Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found a direct connection between poor sleep and life threatening diseases including Cancer, Alzheimer's, Dementia, Heart Disease and Diabetes (2).
The Shocking Discovery...
Poor Sleep and Cancer: What You Need to Know
In a study by the University of Chicago, Scientists injected healthy lab mice with Cancer cells. (3)
- The mice in Group A were allowed to sleep 5 hours and were constantly stressed.
- The mice in Group B were allowed to sleep only 8 hours and were not stressed.
- Four weeks later, Scientists examined the mice to see how sleep impacted their Cancer.
The Results are Jaw Dropping!
The mice in Group A were not so lucky. They were only allowed to sleep 5 hours and constantly stressed. After just 4 weeks, their cancer spread to all vital organs in their body.
After just 4 weeks, the mice in Group B had their cancer contained - it did not spread!
When I saw that study - I realized we have to get good sleep every night
Based on all the results from 30 years of research, Scientists conclude our natural biological sleep cycle is 7 to 8 hours. During this time we go through a complete cleanse and while we're sleeping the body flushes out toxins and the mind moves short term memories and clears out unwanted memories.
This sleep cycle consists of 4 phases each lasting a maximum of 2 hours. During one of those cycles our body clears out toxins and produces killer fighting cells that destroy cancer cells and other toxic or contaminated cells.
They also found that when you have less than 7 or 8 hours of sleep you reduce the number of killer fighting cells your body produces by 70% - that’s like fighting a war with an army that's been reduced by 70%... each night! (4)
The chances of winning the fight are extremely low. It’s also why the mice in Group A didn’t survive after 4 weeks – they simply didn’t have enough killer cells to fight off the cancer.
Long term studies show that people who sleep 6 hours or less are 2 times more likely to develop Breast, Prostate or Colon Cancer (5).
Poor Sleep and Dementia
The same research found that not getting enough sleep is also directly connected to Alzheimer's and Dementia.
Researchers and Scientists found that during our 7 to 8 hour sleep cycle the mind moves relevant short term memories and clears out unwanted long term memories – allowing the brain to store new information in the morning.
When we don’t get enough sleep this process isn’t completed which can lead to Alzheimer's and Dementia. Long term studies show that those who sleep 6 hours or less are 4 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and Dementia. (6)
6 Hours or Less is Not Enough
Think we can get by on 6 hours of sleep or less every night? Think again!
Further research found that people who slept just 6 hours or less had the same reaction and mental capacity as someone who is legally drunk (7)
We often think of sleep as a time when the body shuts down temporarily. This is far from true.
Once we fall asleep, our internal systems are busy at work fixing, creating and repairing cells and organs in your body.
How We Can Sleep Better and Live Longer
By now you realize the importance of good quality sleep. Great!
But how do we fall asleep and stay asleep when our mind is constantly active?
Let’s go back to the reason our mind is over active when we go to bed.
The cause of those constant thoughts that keep us up and make us feel stressed and anxious is high levels of Cortisol brought on by the constant daily stress that we go through.
The solution is to lower our cortisol levels - that’s what I did thanks to a natural solution that uses the power of 3 earth grown ingredients.
After taking these 3 ingredients I now sleep through the night, I can think clearly when I wake up, and I no longer feel anxious, worried or overwhelmed. Most mornings I don't even recall trying to sleep - I just doze off the minute I hit the pillow
There’s still a lot to do – I’m just calmer, more positive, confident and optimistic.
This all natural solution lets us say: “Yeah, I got this… I can handle it."
These powerful, natural Ingredients that reduce cortisol and help us feel less stressed, less anxious, more positive, calm and optimistic are: KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Bacopa Monnieri and Mucuna Pruriens Seed Extract
When taken at the right dose these 3 powerful, earth grown plants help you sleep better by lowering your cortisol levels.
They improve your mood, provide more mental clarity and dramatically reduce the negative chatter that keeps us up at night so we’re more positive, optimistic, confident and well rested.

now calculate the years since that date to today and that’s how long you’ve been producing excess cortisol.
