My first question is to do with sleep, which is the main reason I ended up where I am (low-carb, terrible sleep, running on adernaline for months/years)
The only thing that ever put me back to sleep during my 'wide awake at 4am and too wired to go back to sleep' days has been codeine. It seems likely it was cortisol that was waking me up/keeping me awake, but it just seems odd that taking just 80mg of codeine allowed me to have another hour or so of sleep, when nothing (and I mean nothing - tried all the sleeping medications) else ever did. Tried googling but found nothing.
Anyone got any ideas about the science behind this? or was it all placebo?..
