Among my many diagnosed physical problems, I have insomnia (trouble getting to sleep), hypopnia (trouble staying asleep), sleep apnea (trouble breathing while asleep) and restless legs (trouble calming the legs down so I can try to sleep). For years, I've taken something to help me sleep... whether using my CPAP machine for sleep apnea, a knock-out sleeping pill, or even a tylenol p.m..... something!
But last night, other than vitamin supplements (fish oil, garlic, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, COQ10, etc.), I took nothing. Not even a pain reliever.
Was it what I ate yesteday? I did eat only kinda healthy....
Breakfast: pecans, 4 choc merignes, gf raisin brd
Lunch: eggsalad, flax crackers, apple
Snack: 6 dark choc kisses
Dinner: quinoa flatbread, carrots
Snack: rice cereal with rice milk
Drink: instant decaf tea with stevia
I still have my bad cough and pneumonia so it's not because I'm well, because I'm not. Is it because I haven't eaten gluten in over a week? Or is it in my mind?
Does it matter?
I actually slept last night, and it felt restful! Yippee!!!

It only took about a week of going gf to start feeling better. Approaching the 1 yr point, and I have no desire to go back. As I learn to bake with our various dietary restrictions, I'm even enjoying myself.
