For months (maybe even a year), I've been having brain fog, feeling spaced out, lacking motivation, feeling depressed, etc. I was also sleeping very poorly. I'd be up late on my computer, go to bed around 12 or 1, sleep for 8-10 hours, and wake up feeling exhausted--everyday. It was really depressing and I felt totally helpless! Then last week I started getting really serious about sleep. I started taking b1, k2, and l-ornithine before bed, not being on the computer late, and getting to bed by 10.
The very first morning after trying this, I woke up before my alarm at 6, felt fully rested, motivated, and excited about life. I was alert throughout the day, had one of the best days I'd had all year (doing nothing interesting really), and had zero brain fog. I did the same thing the next night, and woke up even earlier at 5:30. I've kept this up for a week now, and I'm astonished at how much better I feel. It's like I just woke up from a long dream (more like a nightmare actually)! Last night I went to bed at 9:30, and I was up at 4, rearing to go. I went on a walk, worked out, and made breakfast before the sun even came up.
I'm sure there are tons of causes of brain fog, but if you're suffering from this and suspect you have poor quality sleep, it may be time to get serious about sleep. This has made me realize that good quality sleep is as important as nutrition, and I'd been focusing too much on one area and not enough on others. It makes me wonder how many mental conditions are really just chronic fatigue related.
