I'm confused on ideal dose timing for NDT.
Some threads here and sources elsewhere suggest taking split doses in the morning and again in the afternoon. But other sources indicate that the natural circadian rhythm of T3 follows TSH and peaks in the early morning - which would pretty much be the inverse of what occurs when taking during the day.
I tried morning and afternoon dosing as well as only morning. Both seemed to cause me sleep problems where I would wake up at 2am for hours before being able to go back to sleep.
Last night I tried taking it before bed which seemed to cause me vivid dreams (was able to go back to sleep when I woke up at 2am) but then today, I felt a bit tired in the morning and progressively worse each hour until evening (now) and I feel completely exhausted.
I'm not clear on how T3 is stimulating yet the body naturally makes more of it while you are sleeping. Any suggestions for what to try?
