Still High Morning Sugar? Your Sleep & Timing Might Be the Real Problem ⏰🌙
You’re eating better, moving more… but your fasting sugar is still stubborn. Very often, the issue isn’t what you eat—it’s when you eat, sleep, and move.
Your body runs on a 24-hour clock (circadian rhythm) that tells it when to release insulin, burn fat, repair organs, and switch between cortisol (day) and melatonin (night). When your habits fight this clock, sugar control gets harder.
Here’s how timing quietly pushes sugar up:
-> Late dinners → higher fasting sugar next morning
-> Poor sleep → higher cortisol → higher glucose
-> Sleeping after midnight → worse insulin sensitivity, more cravings, more fatigue
Try these hormone-friendly timing habits:
🕕 Finish dinner by ~7:30pm (keep late meals light and low-carb)
🕙 Be in bed by 10:30pm to support liver & pancreas repair
🚶♀️ Walk 10–15 minutes within 30 minutes after lunch or dinner
☕ No caffeine after 2pm (yes, even kopi/tea)
🥚 Light but not empty breakfast: e.g. 1 boiled egg + nuts/veggies
Many clients see fasting sugars drop just by fixing timing, sleep, a short walk, plus a fiber drink before dinner to blunt spikes.
🧐 Which timing habit—earlier dinner, better sleep, or post-meal walk—will you start with today to give your hormones a fair chance?
