Anyone have problems sleeping. I know most people who post say they have never slept better since LC, but I tend to have very restless sleep. I take Calcium/Mag supp everynight before bed. I can get to sleep okay, but have trouble staying asleep and often dream all night.

Anyone else have this problem?

I do when I cheat and PMS time but other then that I sleep pretty good.

Do you have any stressful stuff going on?

Ya, I know it is not cheating, because I have been very good about not cheating for awhile. I had one cheat in the last 54 days. I guess it could be stress, I just wish I could shut my mind off at night.

Thanks Lisa

I know what you mean about that. Try to disrupt your thoughts and practice some calming, breathing exercises or count sheep ;).... that sometimes helps me.

I've been having the same problem. I've been on induction for five days now and I've been having trouble sleeping. Like you I don't have a problem falling asleep but I wake up all night. I'm also taking calcium so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm not stressed and I was okay before starting induction.

I toss and turn... I love my bed, super comfortable, but I like sleeping with a pillow on either side of me.. and with my boyfriend on the other half of the bed its not possible.. so I have to consciously wake up, grab my pillow that I hold, and bring it with me as I turn over.. every night.. sucks..

as far as it being a part of this WOE, I dunno..there are times when I have great sleep, and times when I dont.. could be around the times I cheat.. I'll let you know in the next couple days.. I cheated today and yesterday.. gall bladder is really hurting right now from it too.. does not handle carbs well.. Im not going to have a good night tonight.. :(

my first four days of induction I couldn't seem to get comfy in any position to sleep and when I did finally sleep I had nighmares and frequently woke up!! I'm not sure what was going on but it's finally passed!!! I chalk it up to such a dramatic change in my body. Now i have dreams that I accidentally eat something high carb very strange.....
