seretogis

I'm currently doing the Atkin's-diet thing, and have been on the diet for roughly a month now. The last week, however, I've been having serious trouble sleeping -- both falling asleep, and staying asleep for eight hours. Last night, for example, I was finally able to fall asleep at about 10am and woke up half an hour later, then woke up again two hours later, then again an hour later, etc. It's nerve-wracking and I don't wake up feeling as if I had slept at all -- just the opposite in fact, I feel exhausted.

I'm awake right now, having not slept for about 20 hours now, and I'm hoping that maybe if I stay up long enough I'll just somehow manage to ctrl-alt-del my sleeping pattern. I've tried "Tylenol PM"s but they don't seem to help at all. Is it the diet? Is it the hot weather? Is it anxiety/depression kicking in? Any ideas?

ps: I wasn't sure where to post this, since the advice forum appears to be vaporized. Please move this to wherever it would be more appropriate.
