And so I'm waking up and I'm seeing that overnight on a night where I had not snacked, where I had not done anything that was bad, like eating ice cream in the middle of the night, done none of that.

I was waking up with like lingo scores of 60 because I was spiking so hard in the middle of the night.

And I was just like, what's happening here?

I don't know what this is because I had had a baseline of

of data from 2023 that showed no such behavior like that.

And the way that I was responding to food compared to the year previous was not the same at all.

So I actually have these screenshots of how, you know,

you know, one year eating, taking a walk and then eating a meal differed in terms of what my glucose response to it was.

And you could go insane over that.

Like, why is this data behaving differently?

And there's many reasons why.

As I did research, I was finding out that like, if you sleep on your side, that could impact these readings because it compresses the interstitial fluid.

And most of the time that leads to lower blood pressure

than real readings, sometimes it could be higher.

So I was like, oh, is it the fact that I'm a side sleeper?

Is that impacting why there's a difference between these two devices?

Let me test one in one arm and one in the other because I primarily sleep on one side.

And then I realized throughout this experiment that I can't account for how I move during the night.

I have cats.

Is a cat sleeping on me going to affect it?
