I've been told differently by two doctors, years apart..that your

levels are highest upon rising (and the fact that your waking up is

what starts the process of the thyroid releasing hormone) and lowest

at 5-6 PM....that doesn't mean it doesn't go back up after that...but

I wonder why they told me this. the only thing is, that MUCH new

info regarding the thyroid and how it works is coming to light..so

this might be rather new information.

Still catching up on email after being gone for the holidays...

My endo said that in a person with a healthy thyroid response, melatonin (made

by your body) released by one's body during sleep causes the T4 to be converted

to T3 and it peaks early in the morning to wake one up. It's important to get

some natural light early in the morning so the body will be triggered to make

melatonin to release during sleep.

I supplement 1mg of Melatonin with my bedtime dose of Armour (sublingually) and

I think so far it helps. I wake up more refreshed and my temp has come up 1 full

degree in the past 4 months...

that amazes me . Don't know why or what I thought , but ....

everything we encounter has a circadian rythm , so why not this

one ?? LOL

And if it has no circadian rythm , then why do docs insist that we

take it in the morning .... ?

Interesting... I did a lot of melatonin the years that I was on

synthetics in order to sleep... it would help me to fall asleep, but I'd

still wake during the night and did not get restorative sleep.... what

ever I'm doing now has my sleep rhythm in a really good state. I went

through the hyper phase recently (got too much meds into me and my system

reactive with a pretty distinct hyperactive state) and it through off my

sleep... the last couple of night have been great. In fact I just moved a

spare tv back into my bedroom while the folks were gone (I had the time

and ambition to clean out the closet where I'd stashed it) and I was

tired enough last night where I headed off to bed at 9 instead of 10. I

did my stretches and exercises while I watched Law and Order SVU and then

when to sleep right after, so an hour early.... woke up at 6:10 this

morning (a good hour before sunrise, no alarm) and feeling pretty darn

good!

Big Grin!
