I've been low carb for a long time now, but am only recently getting a good night's sleep. That's because I started taking magnesium before bedtime - which helps me get to sleep - and melatonin - which keeps me asleep.

I'm taking 10 mg of the melatonin with the magnesium. If I wake in the middle of the night & feel too awake, I take another 3 mg.

With the very small amounts of nuts & cheese that I can eat because of the carbs (as well as the more-ish feeling they give me), I wouldn't want to count on them to get me to sleep.

At any rate, I'm finally sleeping well & feeling good in the morning. I used to take an OTC sleep aid, but I got concerned about it affecting my memory & quit taking it. It was also making me feel groggy in the morning.
