The Overnight Sugar Crash Effect

Ever wake up at 3 AM after drinking… anxious, hungry, wide awake?

That might not be random — alcohol can seriously disrupt your blood sugar overnight, even if you’re not diabetic. Your liver shifts into detox mode, glucose drops, stress hormones spike, and suddenly your sleep turns into a hidden rollercoaster.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down:

• Why alcohol causes blood sugar crashes while you sleep
• How low glucose can trigger anxiety and restless wake-ups
• The spike-crash cycle behind next-day cravings and fatigue
• Why “hangxiety” is often metabolic, not just mental
• How nutrients like Vitamin B12 and Milk Thistle can support recovery

🎧 Tap play to learn what alcohol is doing to your blood sugar overnight — and how to wake up feeling steady again.
