Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Sleeping fewer than six hours a night leads to greater blood sugar swings and less stable glucose levels throughout the day
- Going to bed late — even if total sleep time is adequate — disrupts glucose control and increases the risk of metabolic dysfunction
- The worst glycemic instability was seen in people with both short sleep and consistently late bedtimes
- Brain scans show that poor sleep blocks glucose from reaching memory centers, impairing your ability to recall and learn new information
- Simple changes like morning sunlight exposure, blocking blue light at night and establishing a regular bedtime routine help optimize your sleep to restore glucose balance and protect brain function
