How I overcame my addiction to sugar

I cut out sugar for a month recently and my sleep cut in half and my depression really worsened. Really affected my job performance. I didn't think it would last that long or be that bad. It's crazy.

I went back to eating bit of sugar and the same night had a great sleep.

Not sure what to do now. I find it easy not to eat it but the side effects are very difficult to deal with

I think your body and brain have simply to adapt.

Experiment with gradually more sugar till you find a right balance then get back to cutting in very small steps.

Cutting out sugar entirely is too challenging

This will probably get a lot of downvotes, but consider the possibility that sugar is actually good for you - https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml
