Ashok Gupta explains why worry wakes you at 2-4 AM: overstimulation lets you fall asleep, but later sleep cycles are lighter and need a calmer mind. The Gupta Program offers guidance on diet, activity, and meditation to deepen sleep for chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.
So once again, once the system is overstimulated, we may be okay in falling asleep, but then we may wake up regularly during the night. And the reason is that the first few sleep cycles are deep. But once we go past those first few sleep cycles, the remaining one or two sleep cycles aren't as deep. And it requires the mind to be more calm and still before it allows us to go into sleep. So we can wake up at 2, 3, 4 o' clock in the morning and suddenly our mind is a bunch of worries. I think we've all experienced that. So yes, in the Gupta program we go through a lot of detail about the changes that you can make in terms of your diet, your activity levels, when to meditate, tips on sleep that all help us have that deeper sleep. So all of that information is in the GUPS program on how to get deeper sleep when you have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
