BG 5.9
Weight 47.9kg
Slight loss, unsurprising as I have been keeping the carbs right down.
Disturbed night, up three times for bathroom. Unable to settle straight away after two of them.
Does this increase morning BG?
After several very cold days the swamp outside was becoming to dry out. This morning it's raining again. Am looking for indoor jobs today. Our builder was due to start yesterday, but no. Now MrSlim is threatening to start on the work himself.
Am worried, not that he isn't capable, but that he will hurt himself. It's only two months since his operation. Which is why he wanted a builder in the first place.
Original plan was to do all the work himself.
Hi @SlimLizzy
I would say yes re bad nights sleep.
As I see it, the body wants to live, so does what it thinks it must to ensure its survival
Hence the morning dump of glucose so we have enough energy to go hunting for food so we survive another day.
I think it would be the same idea regarding sleep...a time for the body to regenerate and repair itself.. Including the mind I'd dare to venture.
So a rested night the body gives us that dump.
And on a restless night, clearly not as rested and maybe stressed over the previous day's events still, that dump is most likely larger, as our body thinks we need an even bigger boost for hunting so it can survive one more day
Can't point to any particular links, but in general that's just my understanding of it.
Hope the sleep settles down soon for you. X
