Day 56 of 365 | The Carnivore Diet Experiment! Good bye Insomnia!

Hi friends: It’s day 56 of 365 of the carnivore diet experiment! One of the benefits that I have experienced since starting the carnivore diet is great sleep. Before starting this diet I had issues with insomnia.

What Is Insomnia?

According to physicians, insomnia means you have difficulty falling asleep (onset) or staying asleep (maintenance) even when you have the chance to do so. You could even wake up too early in the morning. If you have insomnia, you probably feel unhappy with your sleep and suffer from one or more symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, low energy, and struggling performance at work or school.

Facts about Insomnia

Insomnia is common in adults, and the National Institutes of Health report that approximately 30 percent of the general population suffers from some sleep disruption. About 10 percent of people who suffer from insomnia have daytime functional impairments that are associated with a diagnosis.

Life is full of stimulation. We are stimulated by technology, food, and things we come in contact throughout our day. Some of these simulations can be stressful. All of this stimulation and activity can make it difficult to sleep, and many adults suffer from insomnia as a result. I have been wondering about the connection between blood sugar and insomnia.

How Blood Sugar Affects Insomnia

Do you often lie awake at night or suddenly wake up in the middle of the night? If so, you could be experiencing a blood sugar imbalance. Your brain depends on glucose (sugar in the blood) for energy, especially at night. Throughout the night, your brain is highly active storing memories and making repairs.

When I consumed sugar I felt a restlessness within myself and as I lay in my bed I would feel hungry. Now as a carnivore, I don’t feel restless or hungry when I go to bed which aids in restful sleep.
I do think that the elimination of sugar has aided in better sleep and cured my insomnia. It is wonderful to not feel exhausted during the day. What a blessing to lay my head on my pillow and within minutes I am out. No more thinking about my day over and over again. No more waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. I am enjoying my new sleep patterns.
