Yeah, a cool/cold bedroom and not-eating-so-late have been pretty clear helpers for me, and I can very clearly see the differences the days that I eat a lot, late. Also the days when I have drinks after 5pm or so; alcohol is a well-known sleep disturber.

I'm also on a CPAP these days, but always looking for a better solution so I'm not so tethered to technology.

Last: when I'm trying to lose weight, I have to be careful or I'm also waking up from hunger. Only it doesn't show up as hunger at first, just a kind of mildly-anxious alertness - that's from the cortisol your body releases when your blood sugar is too low during the night. And then later, after about an hour awake, I get ravenously hungry.

So now I'm stuck trying to balance this: given that a lot of my physical activity is in the evening, how do I eat enough, early enough, that I don't sleep badly from too-low blood sugar and also don't sleep badly from eating too much too late?

Bodies are weird
