    Does induction change sleep???

    Good morning,

    I'm on Day 7 of induction and have found over the past 3 nights that I cannot stay asleep. Is anyone else having this as well? Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Hi,

    I'm not sure what you mean by "I cannot stay asleep"... like, "after sleeping 10 hours I can't sleep another one" - which makes sense... or, "I can't sleep for more than 7 hours"?

    For some reason, being on Atkins allows you to sleep less without being tired. Before starting Atkins, when I had classes from 8 am (had to wake up at 6:30) I had to use an alarm clock. On Atkins I don't... I just wake up at 6-6:30 without any problem.

    Although this might have happened because I was drinking too much water before going to bed... hmmm... Anyway, it's something to be glad about, isn't it?

      I'm on Day 6 and I'm experiencing the same thing. It feels like I'm tossing and turning all night, and while I am asleep I have crazy dreams.

      Could it be the wild mushrooms I'm eating?

      Or the toad I licked?

      Hopefully it goes away but the EL -BEES are FLYING off so I can deal...

      Good luck!

        Thanks for responding! It's just nice to know I'm not in this alone!

        Sleeping 10 hours????? Oh, I wish! 3 kids, a hubby, 2 cats and a dog...not going to happen!

        Just to clarify, I have a full day feel sleepy when crawling into bed at around 11 pm just then just can't fall asleep! For two nights, I finally got up about midnight and busied myself for about an hour before crawling back into bed at about 1 am. Between 1 am to 8:30 am, I'm waking up about every two hours. Sometimes it's just to go to the bathroom (yep, I'm still adjusting to the water intake!) but other times I'm just wide awake!

        I do know what you mean about dreams. Last night I had a dream I had to harvest the wheat before I could make a loaf of bread...can you tell what I'm missing the most?

        Hope you're all having a great day!
