What kind of progesterone are you using?I have the same issue. You are running out of liver's glycogen overnight and adrenaline kicks in to compensate. My fix was to take 1mg progesterone right before sleep.

Im using liquid Simple Progesterone by Healthnatura. Its the cleanest purest progesterone I could find.What kind of progesterone are you using?
How are you dosing this at 1mg as it states 1 drop is 3mg.Im using liquid Simple Progesterone by Healthnatura. Its the cleanest purest progesterone I could find.
I have diluted it with MCT oil 3X so 1 drop becomes 1mg.How are you dosing this at 1mg as it states 1 drop is 3mg.
Sublingually (rubbing on gums) works the best for me. On skin it builds up over time. Orally too many metabolites.Do you take the progesterone orally, sublingually, or apply to skin?
I wonder if this happens to me. My overnight fastest BG is higher than if I check it in 1-2 hours of slamming a ton of fast carbs. My A1C has never been above 5.1 and my last 3 were 5.0, 4.8 and 4.9. Yet the longer I wait to check it, the higher it goes after sleeping. I also wake up on fire, which is ridiculous since I hate the cold, and get cold not hot easily.I have the same issue.

You can try to eat more balanced meal with less carbs , moderate protein, more fat and fiber few hours before sleep. It should stabilize your blood sugar over night. I wake up feeling hot if I eat too much protein and carbs on my last meal. Usually we tolerate high carbs in the morning the best, moderate at lunch and the least at dinner.I wonder if this happens to me.

Had this issue before TRT, it's worse now. In home sleep study in 2019 showed very fragmented sleep, in lab study a year ago showed no N3 sleep at all, zero, just skip from N2 to REM, no sleep apnea
I'm having the same exact issue-- literally. On 150mg/week and awaken at around 3/4AM daily and feel really tired in the mornings.Hi I want if anybody could point me in the right direction at looking at trying something that may help me.. awake every night / morning 3 a.m... I have followed all the Google advise don't use your phone get the right temperature for the room don't drink coffee alcohol.. I am getting 5 hours if that have broken sleep.. once I wake it can take me an hour or more to get back to sleep then I wake up shattered. I take 150mg a week of testosterone E.

This is exactly my story, but this was a situation that I had prior to injecting. Dr had me on 25mg Trazadone until I was up to 150mg and still awake @ 3am. Gummies worked the first night 5mg then nothing and or I woke up high and that was a no starter.
Essentially, I quite Trazadone cold, became uber tight about my sleep hygiene, as much as I hate to admit it sometimes Id drink a beer and usually not even finish it, and felt somewhat "guilty" as i trashed the bottle the next am.
Ran across an article about brain/mind exercises for relaxation for insomnia and it's a work in progress and I am having some success.
