Stress and Lack of Sleep
Its common knowledge that increases in the production of stomach acid can lead to heartburn. Stress and lack of sleep can raise how much acid your stomach makes and can cause heartburn.
Our body requires a remarkable amount of energy to function properly in the digestive process. When we are stressed and do not get enough sleep, there is insufficient energy for digestion, hence acid reflux which results in heartburn.[7]
People with heartburn symptoms should always get as much sleep as they can.
