Less Sleep on Atkins??

[Buddyjay]

I noticed that after a couple of weeks on Atkins, I was sleeping an hour less than I usually do.
I always used to get 7-7 1/2 hrs. before. Now it's 6- 6 1/2.
I am still well rested and not tired. In fact I think I am even BETTER rested than before.
Has anyone else seen less sleep than before Atkins?

I used to nap all the time and feel sluggish (as tho I'd eaten a huge Thanksgiving Dinner). Now, I have lots of energy - don't take naps - sleep 5 hours every night and feel great.

Before Atkins I was no stranger to sleeping 9 or 10 hours a night. Now I sleep 7 at a maximum, but usually 6 per night.

It's a lot less, but the quality of sleep is so much better after losing weight that those 6 hours are easily equivalent to the 9-10 I was sleeping before. On the same note, since starting Atkins in Feb. 2006, I've become an ardent morning person. Never could have imagined that before, but I've got so much energy that I love being up with the sun and starting my day while the other 6 people I live with are still fast asleep.
