Weight loss effecting sleep

No, if anything I sleep better. No more snoring. Exercise makes me tired at the end of the day. I don't wake up a ton anymore.

Hi, wondering if anyone is experiencing an effect on the sleep patterns from lowering their kcal intake? I'm finding that I am finding getting to sleep alot harder since I have been consistently staying under my kcal goal. Does anyone else find this? Any tips on what to eat and what time to help this?

If you are having trouble falling asleep because you are hungry, try either moving your final meal later in the day or saving some kcals for a before-bed snack. You may need to figure out the timings (and the food, depending on how your body reacts to specific things) with some trial and error. I generally have something about 1/2 hour before bed because I find it easier to sleep on a full stomach, and it's usually something on the sweeter side of the scale. Other people can't do this and need to stop eating earlier or have something less sweet.

I find I toss and turn and have restless sleep when I am hitting too low on calorie intake or if I am particularly heavy on exercise for a week or so, it can be a sign of over training or lack of certain nutrients. When this happens I more consciously try hitting still below but closer to my allotted calories and I try to have a small snack mostly consisting of carbs close to bed time, its seemed to help. Once in a while if I am having a ton of trouble sleeping well but always feel tired I tone it down on the exercise for a week as well, lower weights and cut cardio in half.

A better diet and a some exercise always help me to sleep better and go to sleep more easily. Weigh loss has also helped me sleep better through the night since I'm not snoring as much now (Much to my wife's relief!). ~Scott
