One Bad Night Wrecks Blood Sugar

One bad night of sleep basically makes you pre-diabetic the next day. It happens because

sleep deprivation spikes your cortisol levels. That stress hormone forces your liver

to dump sugar into your blood and creates specific fats called ceramides that block insulin from doing

its job. You are literally fighting your own metabolism. And if you’re eating

carbs late at night, you’re making it worse by triggering your fight-or-flight response,

which raises your body temperature and keeps you awake. If you want to lose weight,

stop scrolling, put down the snack, and go to bed.
