Low Carb and Trouble Sleeping
My husband and I are both having trouble sleeping since we started Low Carb eating. My anxiety attacks are also starting to make an appearance also. I've come to the conclusion that it's because of the lack of carbs, which I understand are the building blocks for seratonin. Seratonin is responsible for calmness and also feeling full too if I remember correctly.
As far as sleeping I am going to try a big cup of chamomile (sp?) tea before bed.
For stress - more exercise (make that SOME exercise, LOL)
If continues this way though I think I will go see if my DR will agree to Zoloft for 6 mos to get me through this.
Anyone else with similar experiences?
