Many people think that the liver detoxifies between 11pm and 1pm, but that’s not entirely true. Here’s the real kicker: the liver needs to be asleep to have the resources to do its job properly.
When we go into deep sleep (usually in the first half of the night after going to sleep), the sympathetic nerves turn to parasympathetic nerves and the body goes into repair mode, which allows the liver to metabolize, replenish cells, and store up energy.
