Thyroid girlies need an extra hour of sleep #hypothyroidism #hypothyroid #thyroidhealth #thyroidtok

If you have thyroid issues, you need an extra hour of sleep. So it takes people with hypothyroidism more time to recover. We have slower and lower mitochondrial function, meaning, you know, normally if let's say people produce 80% of what they're supposed to produce in biological energy with mitochondria, hypothyroid people probably produce 40 to 50% of that. So we are just slow in the day And that carries over in the night in terms of recovery, detoxification, the cleaning out of our brain, everything. So you need to spend an extra hour in bed. Ideally, allow yourself an extra hour or two to sleep. And if you need to convince anyone of this, send it to your husband.
