Sawin’ logs – cortisol/adrenaline/hormone update

[Guest guest]

For the last year or so, I've been plagued with a strange insomnia –

waking up sometime between 2am and 4am religiously during ovulation

and menstration. No remedies worked. I've just completed five

nights in a row, before, during, and after ovulation, of perfect

sleep. Yea!!!

For those of you who are having unsolvable sleeping problems, I'll

list what I did in case it helps anyone. I tried several things, so

I have no clue which one(s) were responsible. 1) I started with a

liver cleanse in an attempt to get rid of any built-up estrogen. 2)

I made sure that I didn't eat any meat with hormones/antibiotics 3)

I adopted the infamous warrior diet 4) I eliminated all grains,

dairy, eggs, potatoes, and corn from my diet, just in case a food

allergy was causing my adrenal glands to produce too much cortisol

5) I took GABA in the afternoons and/or bedtime if I was feeling

stressed.

I plan to keep this up through menstration to confirm that this is

helping my insomnia problem. Then I plan to re-introduce each food

every two weeks to see if I continue to sleep well.
