So since I started my diet alittle over a week ago, ive been having nightmares. I really dont believe it has anything to do with my diet. But i must say it is very odd. And on top of it I get no sleep, i never toss and turn in bed and i wake up with my blankets wrapped tight around me by morning... Im not sure what to do +(

    I believe that dreams are a way of your brain working on stuff that is concerning it (good and bad). Are there any stressors in your life that are new?

    I agree, it's probably not related too heavily to a diet change, unless you've introduced some odd foods that might be bothering your digestion.

    You may not feel stressed but your body might be stressing a little bit due to the diet change. I almost never feel stressed, but my body sure let's me know that I am. It could also be built up stress

    My son has extremely restless sleep and sometimes nightmares when I know he's hungry, thirsty, or hot. I also put him in 100% cotton PJs so he doesn't get too hot and if it's a night where he'd barely eat dinner then I sometimes give him a snack when he keeps waking up. Maybe you're not eating enough throughout the day or not spreading your calories out enough so that your body can use the nurtients appropriately.

    Could be many things but I have 2 options. 1- Is your heat turned up more lately due to it being colder outside? For me it seems like when I turn the heat up a bit I get nightmares and 2- It could be the neurotransmitters in your brain are just learning how to act differently now that they are getting more endorphins and other brain chemicals that get released through exercise.
