Blood sugar levels affect a person’s sleep. This was stated by Indian nutritionist Pooja Mahija on Instagram.
Dropping blood sugar, she says, releases adrenaline and cortisol, which in turn lowers levels of the sleep hormone melatonin, which can cause you to wake up early.
Mahiji suggested eating a handful of nuts an hour before bedtime. The nutritionist clarified that almonds, for example, contain the amino acid tryptophan, which promotes the production of melatonin. It is also rich in magnesium, which improves the quality of sleep.
