[Insomnia] How to LET GO ?

22 posts in this topic

I’ve noticed that some nights I only get 2-3 hours of sleep. I then wake up in a high conscious, hyper aware state.

Hopefully science can catch up and discover what causes this phenomena

Finally, I managed to find a relatively correct sleep. It seems that a simple cup of coffee or even too much cocoa can ruin my sleep sometimes for several days.
I drank another big can of redbull the other day and went from 7 hours of sleep a day to a dead sleepless night the next.
Same for chocolate.
Phew, I will finally be able to start looking like a homosapiens again. :P

It's cortisol/adrenaline.
Depending on your metabolic state (particularly thyroid), your stress levels and the last meal of your day you may experience a spike in adrenal hormones overnight when liver glycogen stores become depleted.

Coffee in large quantities can make me super alert, improve my humor, my verbal fluency, my creativity. Thanks to the elevation of glutamate I suppose.
As said above, it's unfortunately a catch 22 because it destroys my sleep.


Nothing will prevent Willy.
