When my sleep was disturb disturbed dramatically and when my cortisol levels rose with that sleep change. I also began to see a creeping up of my fasting blood sugar and this showed me I had to shut it down. This occured from the rising cortisol setting off my sympathetic nervous system in mobilizing sugar from gluconeogenesis and the glycerol back bones of the lipolysis. Melatonin and complete darkness made the cure easy......and then I went to a VLC diet (really zero carb) for about 12 days until my fasting sugars went to baseline. Magically sleep returned and I know I was past the adrenal fatigue......during this time I upped my DHEA reflexively as well. I also paid attn to my muscles and soaked them in the hot tub while I drank alot of natural calm. Hope this helps.
