Good sleep plays a big role in keeping blood sugar stable, and what you drink before bed can help. Blood sugar can drop at night, triggering stress hormones like cortisol that disrupt sleep and cause early-morning sugar spikes. High blood sugar can also lead to frequent nighttime bathroom trips and dehydration, making the cycle worse.
Simple bedtime drinks may help. Options like chamomile tea, golden milk (turmeric and ginger), apple cider vinegar with cinnamon, sugar-free electrolyte drinks, or even lightly salted water can support steadier blood sugar, lower cortisol, and improve sleep. Choosing the right drink before bed may help you rest better and wake up with more balanced energy.
