Maybe you got into a fight with your partner before bed or you’re anxious about a presentation at work, but if you keep waking up on the wrong side of the bed, you might want to consider if too much protein is to blame. “When we are eating too much protein, we are often not eating enough carbs, like in low-carb or high-protein diets, and our brains actually run on sugar from those carbs,” Immer says. So what should you do? The easy solution is to recognize when we are swapping out too many carbs for protein, and to even out the difference.
