Feel like your mornings are rushed chaos and your sleep is anything but restful? 😴 You’re not alone, friend—and this episode is here to help.

In today’s show, we’re talking about nighttime routines and how what you do before bed can make a world of difference for your blood sugar, your energy, and your peace of mind the next day.

You’ll learn:

  • Why cortisol, melatonin, and insulin are like a three-legged stool—and how one “off” leg messes up your rest
  • Simple, non-fancy nighttime rhythms that actually work (no yoga mats or chamomile candles required)
  • Snack ideas to prevent 2 AM wakeups (yes, your racing heart might be a blood sugar crash)
  • How to replace overstimulation with true calm using faith-based practices
  • A gentle challenge to shift just ONE nighttime habit this week

And of course, we end with a powerful reminder from Psalm 127:2—you don’t have to earn your rest. It’s a gift from God. 🌙
