Dave Asprey, a biohacking expert whose fad bulletproof diet made headlines for emphasising fats over carbohydrates, once shared why people tend to wake up in the wee hours of the night and struggle to fall back asleep. According to him, it's a blood sugar crash. "Cortisol and adrenaline wake you up", and "while the brain gets what it wants, you don't get your sleep," he pointed out. "Most people who wake up between 3 to 5 am, and you just can't go back to sleep, that is a crash in your blood sugar. Your sugar dropped to 70, and the body said, 'Oh, I needed some glucose to power my brain to do its cleaning process at night.'
