You did everything right—you got to bed on time, skipped the late-night scroll, even clocked a full 8 hours. So why are you still dragging through the day like you pulled an all-nighter?
Here’s the truth: exhaustion isn’t always about how much you sleep. It’s often about what’s happening inside your body while you sleep.
If you’re waking up feeling like you haven’t slept at all, there’s a deeper reason—and no, the answer isn’t another cup of coffee.
✨ Let’s break it down:
- Low progesterone can mess with your ability to enter deep, restorative sleep (especially in the second half of your cycle).
- Blood sugar crashes overnight can leave you tossing, turning, or waking up groggy and foggy.
- Elevated cortisol (your stress hormone) can spike during the night and disrupt sleep quality, even if you’re not fully waking up.
- And a sluggish liver means your body isn’t detoxing effectively while you sleep—which can leave you feeling heavy, groggy, and inflamed in the morning.
Your body is trying to rebalance itself, but without the right fuel and support, it’s like trying to drive with the emergency brake on.
💛 So what can you do?
Start with three powerful shifts:
- Balance your blood sugar—especially at night. Skip the sugary evening snacks and opt for protein + healthy fats to keep your energy stable.
- Support your liver with foods like leafy greens, beets, lemon water, and cruciferous veggies.
- Eat in sync with your cycle so your hormones are getting exactly what they need—when they need it.
Your hormones don’t want perfection. They want consistency, nourishment, and support.
