  1. the reason why low carbers sleep worse may be linked to higher mental performance. The increased level of cognitive performance comes as a stress (adrenaline+cortisol). Extreme mental performance is not exactly a primal thingy, unless you were hunting or fighting for your life.

  2. I enjoyed this. I giggled when he said, "Well maybe Keto isnt for you.
    I am a firm believer in listening to your body and making gradual changes.
    If you make too many changes in your sleep or diet, you will not be able to figure out what changes helped and which changes did not benefit you.

  3. i have to sleep more on a keto diet 😛 now 9-10 hours depending on my schedule hehe. i think the diet may work differently for different people, but for me it's absolutely amazing! the 'keto flu' lasted the first 2-3 weeks then I felt the switch, which was INCREDIBLE. better sleep and clearer/more interesting dreams!

  4. Hi Keto/carnivore coach here with a specialty in supplements. If you have trouble falling asleep you need melatonin. If you wake up after a few hours you have low progesterone. Women need emu oil or evening primrose oil and progest cream. Men can take borage oil. Gaba is good for people with a mind that won't stop…
    Disclaimer: just my opinion, please consult your doctor before taking any supplements.

    Glycine is ok, but Tryptophan & Glycine is much more potent, but it

    also comes at a steeper price point, first, try Glycine (approx. 3 gram).

    Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that cannot be produced by the human

    body and must be obtained through your diet.

    Tryptophan plays a role in the production of Serotonin, a mood stabilizer,

    melatonin, which helps regulate sleep patterns, niacin or vitamin B-3, and

    nicotinamide also known as vitamin B-3.

    Over-the-counter use of synthetic tryptophan supplements was banned in

    the United States starting in 1989. However, tryptophan supplements

    were re-introduced in 2001 and are now available.

    impact on: Mood, depression, Learning, memory skills, visual cognition,

    Aggression control.

    Take Tryptophan and/or Glycine minimum 3-4 hours after the last meal, but

    1/2-1 hour before sleep, you will sleep like a baby and be fine and fresh

    in the morning:)

    Nb! If you don't need supplements (in general), then don't…👀

    Only my 2 cents, of course.
