Nap Sweats

[wildtruffle14]

Whenever I take naps lately, I wake up from what feels like INCREDIBLY deep sleep.....my heart seems a bit active, and I'm sweating. Though I have felt this in the past on occasion, it feels abnormal to happen lately. Does anyone know what this usually indicates? I am on day four of taking 1/8 tab of Cynoplus. I only take it at night. Even with it being such a minimal amount, I wonder if it's already increasing metabolic function and I'm not getting enough to eat.

4 days is about right to start feeling differences. And it does not take much, 1/8th can do it.

thanks - does this indicate that I have had low thyroid function if I'm reacting (and to such a small dose)?

Are you tracking your temps and pulse?

Low temp and pulse are good indicators of low thyroid.

temp has been good for a few months. Pulse was high 60s average. My pulse now is 77 and temp is 98.5. I kinda stopped taking these readings over the past few weeks because I felt completely normal and had healthy energy all day. I'm introducing the Thyroid so that I can transition out of smoking without a thyroid crash (hopefully).

Here is good info on how to dose thyroid:

thank you very much - one more question: is there preference for glandular thyroid over Cynoplus? or is it all personal preference?

 

[charlie]

Ray Peat prefers the synthetic like you are using but at one time I believe he used NDT. Some of us prefer NDT. I prefer the glandular because its natural, and also Broda Barnes was very successful with it. It's just really hard to come by a quality NDT these days though. Gotta look overseas for it. Ray Peat does not like the extra stuff they put in the NDT along with the fact that a lot of the NDT's don't have much thyroid hormone in them.

ok, thanks for your help!

It seems that people who need larger dosages are more hypothyroid. People who are don't need a lot, may have other characteristics that help them keep their metabolism up.

Deep sleep I would assume is due to good t3 and t4, so is sweating.

When I sweat in the night it's a sign of low blood sugar, so I eat more.
Ice cream before bed is Peat's suggestion.

Waking up sweating is usually a cortisol issue, which happens when blood sugar gets too low.
