Trouble Sleeping
 

Has anyone else noticed that they are having trouble sleeping
Usually I am sound to sleep at 10:30, but as you can tell it is after 2am and I am not sleepy.
I have noticed that since I started this.
Just wondering??

I think we all have trouble sleeping now and then.. I am older and when I started menopause, I had trouble, now its fine.. (10 yrs later)... if you havent changed your night time routine.. its hard to say, I never had a diet affect my sleep unless it was for going potty in the middle of the night....anybody else got sleep issues with sonoma???

I just read your other post.... you went from eating a lot of carbs to this diet??? Well that is your answer... your body is detoxing f rom sugar... am I right girls??? I am formerly a Soutbeacher, and I know it takes time to adjust to it... Im sure the others will agree, dont give up... should settle down soon... let me know!!!!

i didn't have any trouble sleeping my problem was quite the oppisite. tired, lethargic, and headaches. both my husband and myself. try some herbal tea. that might help!!

I've had terrible trouble sleeping since I started low carbing and I guessed it was my body shouting 'holy crap where's all the sugar gone?!?!?!?' lol. I was wide awake until 2/3am. This is what I have done the last couple of nights and it at least got me asleep at 1am! I ate slightly less dinner, stopped drinking tea after 8pm (cuppas are my downfall - would drink one as I was going to bed!) and at about 10pm I had 2 slices of slimmer's wheat bread with a little peanut butter and half a teaspoon of jam. It didn't make me crash (made that mistake one lunchtime last week when I had some white pitta bread and slept all afternoon!) but it made me start yawning, like I should have been at 11pm! It seems the little pb&j helps in 2 ways...the little bit of sugar makes you tired and the bread soaks up the excess liquid that makes you want to pee all night! I actually slept until about 6.30am when my bro-in-law's very loud alarm clock in the next room woke me up - I managed to go right back to sleep tho which had also been a problem - I would wake up to go to the bathroom in the night and lie awake for another hour or so...
