NSV: The best side effect of the keto diet

I know the diet affects everyone differently but I absolutely love what is going on with my sleep.
It is 6 15 am. I have been awake since 5 00 am with no alarm and no coffee. I feel fully rested and for the 3rd time this week, I made breakfast for the kids.
5 weeks ago I was a complete insomniac and had to be on my 3rd cup of coffee to approach consciousness never before 7am.
There is no effort involved. I just wake up. At about 10 30 PM, I just fall asleep if I happen to be lying down.
This is nothing short of a miracle for me. I have struggled with insomnia and morning grogginess for as long as I can remember.
Had to post something since I am the only one awake right now.

I understand how you feel. I suffered with insomnia for about 20 years, A couple months ago, it just went away, I've only been on LCHF for almost 2 weeks, so the insomnia ended before that. But I'm definitely having increased energy now and I'm more alert when I wake up. For the first time in decades, I wake up and am ready to go. LCHF rocks!!!0

I had insomnia for several years which ended once I started keto, too. The insane increase in energy has been my favorite side effect. I used to be too tired to cook dinner after work. Now I go to the gym, clean up around the apartment, cook dinner, make something for lunch the next and then relax. It's night and day.0

Glad I'm not the only one noticing major energy differences after a short time on Keto.
Problem is I'm not used to having so much energy so I find my self feeling at a loss as to what to do. lol0 -
