Glucose is the body's most readily available source of energy. After carbohydrates are consumed, they are converted into glucose and enter the bloodstream, triggering the release of insulin.

To improve sleep, avoid caffeine after noon, stay hydrated, replenish electrolytes, consider ashwagandha, and engage in moderate exercise earlier in the day. For most people, keto insomnia is short-lived and improves as the body becomes fully fat adapted.
