Anyone else notice a decrease in quality of sleep since improving their thyroid function?
When I was hypo I could always sleep through the night without waking up, now I get an adrenaline surge at 3 am like clockwork. I have tried a variety of sup and nothing seems to help this. I am off everything at the moment and even considering stopping the diet because the disturbed sleep is driving me crazy.
So, in short even though I have higher pulse and temps when I am peating my sleep is worse, and feel better during the day. My sleep is worse.
I know that increased thyroid will make a person more susceptible to the effects of adrenaline until the body re-adjusts but how long should this take? I have been peating for about a year now.
And no I do not want to take clonidine or any other drug that causes drowsiness because I need to be high functioning during the day. I was taking cyproheptine for a while and got into two car accidents because I was so drowsy.
