I am new to Peat, only a couple of weeks. Started with adding oj to breakfast to help with eggs, and I was hooked on this way of eating. I am adding in the dairy, the creamy coffee and making little changes at a time while my body adjusts.
I am hypo and being treated with WP thyroid since November, also on DIM for estrogen excess and an andrenal capsule through my doctor (timed at early morning and then at 3 p.m.). On my own, I do use supplements to support myself. My issue is with sleep and I am in a cycle now that I can seem to break through. I come home from work, eat a light meal and fall asleep around 7ish while watching tv and will wake up around 9 -- it is a very deep and restful sleep as I go right away into REM. At that time, I will get up and have my snack (learning Peat snacks like cottage cheese with fruit or ice cream with coffee and pinch of salt). I feel sleepy but don't fall asleep for the night until 3 or so. Then I am up without the alarm around 5:30 to get to work.
I lie awake watching tv until I pass out. Usually by that time, I can wake up shut off the tv and go back to sleep. I've had sleep issues for a long time, but this new late night stuff has begun with my new protocols and I need help.
I've been taking sunflower lecithin and mag glycinate since November and that helped me a lot but now it is not working, and I am at a loss. Some night I will get up and make a cup of instant creamy coffee and sometimes after that I will pass out.
Looking for some answers - I need to get exercise after working at a desk all day, but my afternoon energy is all about just getting home. Thank you!
