Who can explain this situation i keep finding myself in:
If i eat purely scurose and fructose as my carb sources throughout the day and in the evening - I cannot sleep at night - racing thoughts, inability to lie still, almost an adrenaline rush.
keeping all other circumstances and factors the same, i.e sucrose and fructose in day, same supplements etc.... but If i change my evening meal to include starch in place of fructose, i fall to sleep fine and have a lot better nights sleep.
I have tested this numerous times, and an example would be last night . I could not sleep at all (did not eat any starch yesterday as part of the experiment). I Was lying in bed for hours, racing thoughts despite being knackered etc. So i went and ate around 20g oats, went back to bed and fell asleep instantly!
What would explain this? This seems to contradict Peats hypothesis on starch and cortisol?
