Hello all,
I've came to the conclusion after months of analyzing my daily sleep that the most likely cause of me waking up every few hours is the fact my cortisol is high all day then low at night but dipping too low and waking me up with low blood sugar.
Makes sense too since I always want sugar when I wake up.
My liver health is improving and I've only had it improve as time has gone on and I've focused on increasing carbs all day and night to ensure a full glyocgen tank but again i still wake up.
Any idea on how to increase nighttime cortisol so it doesnt dip too low? Maybe keeping cortisol lower during the day could help nighttime levels?
Thanks everyone
Btw i ensure alot of salt, magnesium calcium ratio is 1:2, zinc 25 daily, glutathione and milk thistle in the AM, b vitamins throughout the day.
Cortisol is needed to get thyroid into the cell so If its low at night then hypo symptoms wake me up. I dont want to use thyroid as a bandaid preferably would want to do this naturally.
I'm actually going to stop drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the AM as I think that's what messes everything up for me during the day
Thanks!
