If you have to guess -- or if you're honestly not sure because your arm is doing the silence-and-go-back-to-sleep thing on autopilot -- that's alarm fatigue. And it's a documented, peer-reviewed phenomenon that's costing you sleep in ways that quietly compound every single night.\nThis episode is about the complicated relationship T1D people have with CGM alarms. They're lifesaving. They're also, at times, genuinely maddening. There's a real, measurable difference between alarms that protect you and alarms that interrupt your sleep architecture without adding any safety benefit. Neil talks about how alarm fatigue develops, what it costs your sleep stages, and why the answer isn't to turn everything off -- it's calibration.\nWe're in Week 4 of the While You Were Sleeping Challenge.\nIn this episode:\nWhat alarm fatigue is and how it develops in T1D people over time\nHow sub-threshold wake-ups disrupt sleep architecture without a full wake-up\nThe boy-who-cried-wolf problem in CGM management -- and why the wolf is still real\nWhy calibration (not silence) is the right response\nThe peer-reviewed paper with a title that's definitely just a research paper title\nThis Week's Challenge: Count how many times your CGM alarmed last night. Don't do anything about it yet. Just get the number.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
