Understanding Brain Fog At Night: Causes, Biomarkers & What To Do
Explore causes and personalized insights for brain fog at night using advanced testing with Mito Health.
Why It Happens
Mental Fatigue: After a long day, your brain may be depleted of glucose and neurotransmitter reserves.
Blue Light Exposure: Evening screen use disrupts melatonin and clarity.
Heavy Dinners: Large or rich meals can redirect blood to digestion and trigger fog.
Low Blood Sugar: Dips in glucose before bed may lead to confusion or disorientation.
Sleep Pressure Buildup: Your body is trying to wind down, but your mind stays active.
How to Manage
Keep Dinner Light: Eat earlier and avoid heavy carbs or fat at night.
Use Gentle Lighting: Amber lights support melatonin and brain rhythm.
Wind Down Mentally: Try journaling, reading, or stretching before bed.
Support Blood Sugar: Include healthy fats or protein with dinner to prevent overnight dips.
Evening fog is a signal — and you can calm the mind by syncing your routine with your biology.
