Your body's circadian rhythm is partly controlled by the functions of your
liver. Your liver starts to reduce its digestive activity at about 3:00
p.m. and ends that function at about 9:00 p.m. At this time, the liver
switches to manufacturing all the enzymes and compounds the body requires to
keep things ticking. Unnecessary heavy food intake early in the evening
will disturb this cycle. Otherwise, it is not a bad time to actually go to
bed. Your liver is again ready to take on its daily work in its role in the
central processor for nutrition intake at about 3:30 a.m. Many hep c
sufferers or those on tx, where the tx chemicals really do assault the
liver, wake at about that time of the morning and have trouble going back to
sleep. A peice of plain bread or a small amount of breakfast cereal, both
which contain starchy carbohydrates and induce seratonin production, will
help you to get back to sleep.

hope this helps
