robrom504 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I don't think that what I'm about to describe can be tied to the W30, I'm just curious if any members have experienced anything like this. Last night I went to sleep at about 10:15. I'm a light sleeper and it's a constant challenge for me to get quality sleep. My dog jumped off the bed around 1:15 waking me up. My bladder usually wakes me up between 4-6 every morning so I went to the bathroom and tried going falling back asleep with no luck. I was awake and felt a small knot in my stomach. I wasn't hungry based on the broccoli/fish standard, but I suspected that I had not eaten enough at dinner and my stomach was starting to churn. I also noticed I had a strange tickle in my throat. I moved to the couch and started reading. Within 30 minutes both the throat and stomach ailments had intensified. Usually when I awake earlier then planned I just give up on sleep and start my day. But in this case I had barely gotten 3 hours of sleep and knew I needed more. I took a sleeping pill and ate a few bites of coconut butter hoping it would help. It did not. I continued reading before I eventually got desperate. I wasn't truly hungry. The only way I know to describe the feeling in my gut is to compare it to drinking strong coffee in the morning without eating breakfast. The caffeine/stimulant effect makes you feel think you are not hungry, even though you can feel your stomach turning looking for food. So I ate a RX bar, a banana, and a few pieces of primal beef jerky, and took another sleeping pill. Finally, at 4 am, I got back in bed and fell sleep. I slept soundly until about 8:30, so I technically even with the interruption I still got over 7 hours of sleep. But I might as well have gotten 0. Today has been an absolute train wreck. The sore throat has continued to worsen. I've been so fatigued I can barely function. All I can seem to think about is getting back in bed, but when I tried a power nap around 5:30 this afternoon, I couldn't rest. Anybody experienced something like this before? Thanks in advance.

melbournegirl Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 When did you start your whole30? Some people get really bad carb flu symptoms the first week. Of course it could also be a virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
