Well written. I agree I think everyone should do that. The idea of it

being taken in the morning spoils the whole job its meant to do. But I

did see it mentioned in one of the forums to someone who was having

trouble with the night time dose. Though I can't remember what it

really said. But something like " has anyone tried to take it in the

morning as a stimulant? " It was an answer to the person who was having

trouble at night as a suggestion.

No idea now my brain can't think back that far.

But your right start with what your meant to do, and ask Dr. Bihari or

your neuro if it can be taken in the day time too, if someone feels

they may need to. I think that is the best advice I can give the

people who were wondering about it.

Personally I would just stick to the basic concept that started this

whole thing. It works for you in the night as you say and for the

reasons you say.

What I am STILL wondering about regarding this time of 2-4 am is.......is it because that is when you have already fallen asleep and are deeply asleep or would it STILL be that tiime even if you are awake at that hour?

[low dose naltrexone] When to take LDN

This is from the LDN website: The brief blockade of opioid receptors between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. that is caused by taking LDN at bedtime each night is believed to produce a prolonged up-regulation of vital elements of the immune system by causing an increase in endorphin and enkephalin production.

To me that sounds like you should be taking LDN before 2 a.m...

The theory is it has to do with the human body's circadian cycle, " about

day " , dictated by the day/night cycle and not sleep schedule. The

recommendation is to take it at the same time regardless of sleep

schedule, even in the case of those that work the night shift.

Personally, I notice a spike in energy between 3:00 am and 3:30 am, if

I'm still awake. If I'm still up at 3, there's not much hope of

sleeping until at least 4.
