A member asked:
I heard insomnia lowers metabolism (bmr). but is this still the case if you take artificial thyroid meds like synthroid to regulate your metabolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BMR: Good sleep is essential for proper functioning of body. Take thyroid hormone as prescribed for hypothyroidism as it will help metabolism.
