Do you have a blunted or dysregulated circadian rhythm?
Your circadian rhythm, sometimes referred to as the "rest-activity" circadian rhythm, is the pattern of activity and rest that your body goes through each day, affecting how well you sleep, repair cells and tissues, make hormones, remove pathogens and toxic substances, and more.
Even if you are not aware of having a blunted or dysregulated circadian rhythm, in my experience almost everybody does (including me much of the time), and this affects everything pertaining to health, beginning with sleep.
So I added a section called "Blunted or Dysregulated Circadian Rhythm" to the "48 Potential Causes of Poor Sleep Most People Have Never Considered" (was 47+ causes) article.
Better understanding how your circadian rhythm works and developing a greater commitment to maintaining a strong, well-regulated circadian rhythm are two of the easiest, lowest-hanging, most impactful steps you can take right now for better health, slower aging, and of course better sleep.

Spot Hidden Health Problems Early with Clues from Your Standard Blood Test Results
An enormous opportunity to spot and potentially prevent health problems early is lying right under our noses ... hidden clues in the results of standard blood tests like the Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP).
I wrote about this in some emails in August of this year, and now I have put all of that information into a new article called, "Spot Hidden Health Problems Early with Clues from Your Standard Blood Test Results"
Looking for these hidden clues in standard blood test results is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep an eye on your health. Check it out.
Is vagus nerve and polyvagal system dysfunction the most significant dysregulator of sleep?
As I added a new section called "Dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and Polyvagal System" to the "47+ Potential Causes of Poor Sleep Most People Have Never Considered" (was 46+ causes), I started to think that this contributor to sleep challenges might be the most significant overall because it is probably involved as a mediator of many other causes or contributors to sleep challenges.
If this topic interests you, I recommend checking out the new section called "Dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and Polyvagal System". You can use the Table of Contents at the top of the article to jump to that section near the end of the article. Click here to access the article.
