I usually get to sleep with bs around 125. I get a low rarely but the cgm alerts me.. The lowest I have ever been is 47, which did not bother me at all but that is pretty low. I think as long as I have glucose tablets or something else sweet, handy, I'm good.

After wearing a CGM for over 8 years, at least in my case, I have come to find that 1) I can not prevent a night time low even if I go to bed with an elevated BG number

Whatever you eat has a "life expectancy" of about 4 hours - so eat at midnight and all that sugar is "burned up" by 3 or 4 in the morning

If night time lows are common, and you are not on insulin, then your system will self regulate so what your bedtime number is, as long as it's below 7.8/140 and above 3.9/70 then your own body will take care of the rest

But if the low is medication induced, that is time for a discussion and adjustment with your Doc

Yes, as we get older our bodies metabolizes things at a different rate. My pcp told me that overtime our diabetes can change. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. My pcp does explain things in terms I can understand. I love her. We have a long history together. Have you considered having a protein snack before bed? When I check my evening number and it is low, I will eat some low fat string cheese, or half of a tuna, or no sugar added peanut butter sandwich. On keto zero carb bread.
Protein snack before bed helped keep my blood sugars in line, during sleep.

I agree everyone has a different number. I think that number changes over the years for me it has. I like to have a buffer zone.

I have to be at least 110 USA. I drop below 90 and I have a major hypo. It may be different for you @A DiabetesTeam Member I need a 20 point lead. I do sweat really bad when sleeping.
