2. You’re Not Eating Enough Before Bed
On the other hand, hunger can also be a reason you’re waking up nauseous, Sonpal says. Your blood sugar drops when you don’t eat any food over an extended period of time. Low blood sugar can cause you to feel dizzy when you wake up, faint, or nauseated.
If you wake up feeling shaky, extremely hungry, or sweaty, you may be experiencing mild low blood sugar, according to University of Michigan Medicine.
In people who don’t have diabetes, it’s rare for blood sugar levels to dip low enough that they cause symptoms. If you’re experiencing more severe symptoms like muscle twitching or confusion, talk to a doctor.
If you already have a diabetes diagnosis, you could be experiencing ketoacidosis, which causes your body to produce excess blood acids called ketones, Sonpal says. When your body floods with ketones, it can also lead to nausea. Your doctor can help you determine the best way to handle these symptoms.
