What a mess, isn’t it!? But I’m thinking that perhaps before solving this riddle we should first and foremost tackle the source: stress and low stomach acid.

Chronic fatigue as well as ‘Adrenal fatigue’.Other Symptoms of Low Stomach Acidīesides insomnia, there are many other symptoms associated with low stomach acid: What happens is we do not absorb our food -> we do not get the proper nutrients even if we eat super healthy – > blood becomes acidic – > start lacking the basic nutrients to produce the digestive juices (stomach acid) -> even more bad digestion -> food is left undigested in our intestines causing ammonia build-up and inflammation invoking an immune response -> draws upon your cortisol levels from adrenals -> leading to sluggish liver (liver is overburdened by processing too much waste which was left behind by poor digestion) -> leading to fatigue, high ammonia and yes – INSOMNIA.
