    You're probably on a never ending low carb diet I presume ?

    I am on low carb, how do u know? Haha I can't sleep because I took pain reliever with caffeine in it :(

    haha cause most low carb/keto people complain of sleep. You need to have a high carb days atleast 2-3 times a week, it's brain food. Produces serotonin in your brain, makes you feel good and induces sleep.

    I've been sleeping fine, it's because of the caffeine. I wasn't thinking

    Fair enough mate!

    You could consume all your carbs at night from Squash and root vegetables. They don't have the same GI, unlike carbs from grains specially wheat.

    I just have sleeping issues no matter what. I take meds and they still don't work. I read or watch movies to pass the time. :p
