Ever notice how a rough night of sleep sends your blood sugars on a rollercoaster the next day? You aren’t imagining it. In this episode of T1D Healing, we dive deep into the undeniable link between sleep quality, mindset, and blood sugar predictability.

When we lack rest, our insulin resistance climbs and our patience drops. To combat this, I’m sharing my personal “Sleep Sanctuary” toolkit which is a comprehensive breakdown of how I prime my body for rest, facilitate deep sleep, and handle those inevitable T1D middle-of-the-night interruptions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Data & Tracking: How I use the Oura Ring to spot patterns before they become problems.
• The Evening Prime: Using blue light blockers, early dinners, and reading to signal to your brain it’s time to wind down.
• Environment Hacks: From mouth tape and eye masks to muffling sound for uninterrupted rest.
• Managing CGM Alarms: Strategies for silencing “false alarms,” adjusting nighttime alert settings, and handling the “sensor warm-up” window without losing sleep.
• The “Mind off Mind” Tactic: A simple mental rehearsal trick to fall back asleep when T1D anxiety strikes.

Sleeping with a chronic illness is a challenge, but it is also one of the most powerful ways to optimize your health and stabilize your numbers. Reclaim your night with the tips in the episode.
