Narrative:
Go around below 1000' for unstable approach. Flew below glide slope. Pilot monitoring (pm) called out the deviation. Corrected but not enough. Went further below glide slope and receive the 'glide slope low' warning. We were at 800' and executed the go a round.we were unstable at 800' at night. The approach didn't meet the definition of a stable approach so the go around was executed. Perhaps multiple late nights was making me more tired than I realized. Fatigue could have been an issue. I felt ok but my performance was sub-par.
