Sleep and Its Impact on MetabolismInsulin Resistance from Sleep DeprivationJust one night of poor sleep can reduce insulin sensitivity by 25-33%, similar to eating a high-fat diet for six months. Chronic sleep restriction leads to persistent glucose regulation challenges.Hunger Hormone DisruptionInsufficient sleep increases ghrelin (hunger hormone) and decreases leptin (satiety hormone), leading to increased appetite, especially for high-carbohydrate foods that impact blood sugar.Cortisol Rhythm DisturbancePoor sleep disrupts the natural cortisol rhythm, often resulting in higher evening cortisol levels when they should be decreasing. This pattern directly elevates blood glucose at night.Sleep Optimization StrategiesMaintain consistent sleep-wake times, even on weekendsCreate a cool, dark, quiet sleep environmentLimit blue light exposure from screens 1-2 hours before bedtimeConsider natural sleep supports like magnesium or chamomile teaResearch shows that improving sleep quality can enhance the effectiveness of other blood sugar management strategies, including supplements like Glucovy. Many users report that as their glucose regulation improves with Glucovy, their sleep quality also enhances, creating a positive feedback loop for metabolic health.
