Why cant I stay awake?

Answer 1

Usually the cause of fatigue or sleepiness is due to an imbalance in the body.

Many people find after eliminating dairy and gluten products that they sleep much less and feel more alert overall. We have a so called "energy bank" that we have within our bodies. Digestion of heavy, processed, and cooked foods will result in low levels in your energy bank after all the energy it took to break down the complex foods. This is due to a lack of enzymes (a contributing factor in almost every catalytic process in the body). The digestive system becomes sluggish, the blood rushes to the stomach, and your brain gets sleepy. Many of the foods being consumed are heavily refined and filled with toxins and weird chemical additives that are not natural for the body to ingest. The liver and gallbladder are usually quite taxed, as well as the colon and small intestine. We have a little factory going on inside our intestines and the good and bad bacteria are the workers. They work symbiotically to create the ultimate terrain and make up for about 80% of your immune system. When too many processed foods are consumed and a lack of internal cleansing takes place, a dried mucus coating adheres to the intestinal wall...creating a breeding ground for bad bacteria... who steal your energy and dont allow proper assimilation of nutrients and minerals. By alkalizing your body, consuming more raw natural foods instead of relying on synthetic energy drinks you will find your energy levels increasing continuously. By consuming green vegetable juices, blue green algaes, and superfoods you can take your energy levels to a whole new level. Staying up all night no problem. Feeling alert and alive all the time is totally normal for people consuming a high raw food and natural diet.

If you are having trouble keeping your eyes open, it's best to visit your local family doctor or GP for a proper diagnosis. Otherwise, try to get more sleep.
