You sleep 8 hours every day, but still wake up tired.
Coffee, napping, & exercising don’t help...your energy is always drained.
Here’s what’s going on (& 3 simple ways to fix it):
Problem 1: Mouth breathing
Most people breathe through their mouths at night.
Mouth breathing = poor oxygen exchange → stress signals
Nasal breathing = nitric oxide → deep, calm recovery
If you wake up with dry mouth or grogginess, this is you:
FIX 1: Tape your mouth when you sleep
It sounds extreme, but it works.
A $5 roll of surgical tape can help:
• Better oxygen
• Deeper sleep
• Lower heart rate
• Less snoring
• No more dry mouth
Your brain will thank you in the morning
PROBLEM 2: Your cortisol is upside down
Can’t fall asleep?
Feel tired all day but alert at night?
That’s your cortisol rhythm reversed.
Cortisol is supposed to rise in the morning and drop at night.

FIX 2: Prepare your sleep
Carefully plan and prepare your environment for low cortisol.
Do this 45 minutes before bed:
• Take a shower
• Keep room cold
• Turn off bright lights
• No phone or blue light device
A ritual to effectively fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
Your body needs rhythm more than it needs hours.
Sleep at 2AM and wake at 10AM?
Still tired.
Sleep at 10PM and wake at 6AM?
You feel alive.
This is because your circadian rhythm controls hormones, detox, and memory consolidation.
Fix your timing.
PROBLEM 3: You’re lacking minerals to recover.
You sweat at night. You breathe out hydration.
That means your body wakes up depleted, especially in magnesium, potassium, and sodium.
Without those minerals, you don’t recover fully in your sleep.
FIX 3: Replenish what sleep burns
Before bed, take:
• Magnesium glycinate (calms the nervous system)
• Coconut water or LMNT (restores potassium/sodium)
• Glycine (lowers body temperature & improves REM)
It’s not “what” you eat before bed.
It’s what you’re missing.
Over 50% of people are magnesium deficient and don’t know it.
Low magnesium leads to:
• Poor recovery
• Restless sleep
• Higher cortisol at night
It’s the mineral behind over 300 processes in your body.
No magnesium = You’re not deep resting and recovering.
You need to be recovering in your sleep to feel energized.
Remember:
• Replenish minerals
• Tape your mouth
• Wind down your cortisol
• Align your sleep rhythm
6-8 hours of sleep a night is sufficient if you do it right.
