A unique reason someone might struggle with sleep, from a functional medicine perspective, is blood sugar dysregulation overnight 🩸🌙.
When blood sugar drops too low while you sleep, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to bring it back up. This can cause sudden waking in the middle of the night, restlessness, or difficulty falling back asleep.
Balancing blood sugar through evening nutrition, stress management, and identifying underlying metabolic imbalances can often make a big difference in sleep quality.
Consult with your integrative medicine provider today to see if this could be the reason.
