Listen "Is It Normal to Struggle with Sleep in ED Recovery?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss the key sleep disrupters in recovery.
These include:
Hunger - which does not discriminate between night and daytime
Exercise addiction / productivity drive - letting yourself sleep enough is often as tightly bound up with self-punishing defaults as letting yourself eating enough
Heightened anxiety and stress - from the recovery process
Physical effects of being out of energy balance
Digestive problems
Ineffective temperature regulation
Frequent urination
Hormonal imbalance
Meta-stress (stress about the health effects of poor sleep)
