GFgirl Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi keep up the great work. I just read all 9 pages of your blog. I love how you are sticking through this Today is mayday 30 and I know I need some more time! Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginsinnot Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I just got caught up reading your blog, Wow! Great job and still going strong. I was wondering if you've read the book "Lights Out Sleep, Sugar and Survival"? I just finished it and found it really interesting, about how important our sleep quality and quantity is to overall health. I came by it through Robb Wolf of the Paleo Solution and his podcasts. One thing they discuss is that melatonin supplements can actually make sleep problems worse. I'm not totally clear on the why/how, but it seemed pretty well explained in the book. You might want to check on that if you're still dealing with your sleep issues Anyhow, hope all is well and congratulations again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you are sticking through this Today is mayday 30 and I know I need some more time! Amy Thanks Amy! I'm so glad I gave myself more time on the Whole30 -- I feel really great eating this way and the extra weeks have helped me work on other aspects of my lifestyle. As Melissa and Dallas say, "it starts with food" but food isn't the whole picture Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sleep is so, so, so much better than it was just a few weeks ago, it's incredible. For a long time I felt "lucky" if I could get 5 hours, and that was never continuous. Now I fall asleep easily and stay asleep through the night. I am still taking the melatonin but I didn't know that it might cause problems. I'll definitely have to pick up that book. I've been thinking about stopping now that I'm not having trouble falling asleep and I think you just convinced me that tonight is the night to go melatonin-free! I'll log how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
