Q I skip breakfast and eat a large dinner. Does the way I eat affect fatigue?
A It does. Skipping breakfast leaves the morning short of energy, and a heavy dinner lowers sleep quality. Shallow sleep then makes the next morning heavier, and the loop repeats.
Detailed Answer
Meals built on sweets and refined carbohydrates raise blood sugar sharply and drop it again, producing post-meal lethargy. Eating far too little through an aggressive diet also leaves too little material for recovery. Alcohol makes falling asleep easier but shallows the early-morning hours and leaves fatigue behind.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Breakfast does not need to be elaborate. A simple meal with a little protein changes how the morning runs. Aim to finish dinner three hours before bed.
