Episode notes

Glucose spikes before sleep can affect sleep quality and energy levels by disrupting deep restorative sleep, leading to tiredness upon waking up. This can create a vicious cycle of increased glucose spikes throughout the day. Additionally, glucose spikes can stress mitochondria responsible for energy production, further contributing to fatigue. Making simple dietary changes, like opting for a savory breakfast instead of a sweet one, can help in improving sleep quality. The interplay between sleep, glucose levels, and exercise suggests a complex feedback mechanism that can influence overall well-being.
