Sleep and blood sugar: the two way street

😴 Sleep and blood sugar influence each other constantly. Poor sleep raises insulin resistance and increases cravings. Unstable blood sugar disrupts sleep quality and increases nighttime awakenings.

🧪 Even one night of poor sleep can impair glucose regulation the next day. Over time, this creates a cycle of fatigue, cravings, and energy crashes that feels hard to break.
For women in perimenopause, this relationship often becomes more noticeable as hormonal shifts increase sensitivity to both sleep disruption and glucose swings.

🔧 Tip: Support both sides by prioritizing consistent sleep timing, eating balanced meals with protein and fiber, and avoiding late night snacking.
