Pain, sleep, cortisol, and glucose feed each other
After surgery or an injury, pain breaks up your sleep. Short sleep raises cortisol, cortisol pushes blood sugar up, high blood sugar feeds inflammation, and inflamed tissue turns the pain up again. Every link in that loop is also a place you can step in.
- 1Watch the gold pulse. Each link lights up and throbs while the pulse passes through it.
- 2Tap a lit link 3 times, fast, before the pulse moves on. Your first tap grabs the pulse and slows it down.
- 3Each break opens a strategy for that point in the loop. Break all 6 links to stop the cycle.
