Christie, groggy upon awaking

[Guest guest]

Christie,

when i did Atkins in the past, the same thing happened to me; waking just

before dawn, and going to bed about 9 pm.

this has been happening to me again now eating WAPF but not Atkins.

living on mostly raw kefir, yogurt and cheese. but i still have bread if

i want it.

Christie, you said in a prev. post you put cream in your coffee. do you

still drink it? i wish the desire for it would just leave me. i love

the stuff but i wish i could off it for good.

but if i go back to sleep, and sleep past dawn, then I'm very groggy.

so i don't think it's a carb thing. <<

One thing that happened to me when I went low carb, and that happened

almost

instantly, is that I started waking up pre-dawn spontaneously, and being

fully awake. I had spent my whole life being a " night owl, " and it was a

standing joke with everyone who knew me that even if for some reason my

body

was awake early, my brain wouldn't join it until 10 AM at the earliest.

And yet the very day after I started Atkins I woke at 5:30, full of

energy,

and I continued that way ever since. I also get sleepy at 9 PM every

night... and whereas I used to stay up until 1 or 2 am every night, now I

just go to bed!
