Why You Keep Waking Up at 3AM — The Real Reason (and One Simple Fix)


If you fall asleep easily but snap wide awake at 2–4 a.m. with a racing mind, pounding heart, and wired energy — you’re not broken. You’re experiencing a cortisol spike caused by blood sugar instability. In this video, Dr. William Li (style content) breaks down the real reason your body wakes you at 3:00 a.m. and the simple honey + sea salt remedy that stabilizes blood sugar, calms cortisol, and helps you sleep through the night.

Most people think this problem is “insomnia,” but it’s actually a metabolic signal. When blood sugar drops too low, your brain triggers cortisol to raise glucose — jolting you awake. The solution is surprisingly simple and likely already in your kitchen.

By the end of this video, you’ll understand:
• Why cortisol spikes at 3AM
• Why melatonin shuts off
• How your liver and blood sugar control your sleep
• Why honey before bed helps (and doesn’t spike insulin)
• The exact protocol to stop 3AM wakeups
• Lifestyle steps that repair your internal clock and hormone balance

If you’re exhausted from interrupted sleep, this video will finally give you answers — and a practical solution you can use tonight.
