Since applying to join and now my insomnia has gone. I started a low sodium diet at the same time. Maybe that was the culprit all these years. I have had middle of night insomnia now for 11 years and i had periods when i would be be ok for a few days but never worked out why. It seems excess sodium from salt may have been culprit. Anyway im sticking around and learning all the while hoping my period of good sleeping is permanent.

well im still sleeping perfect solid 7 to 9 hours.. no salt now for a week or so and great refreshng sleep, even if i awake to go toilet i doze off, just like i was 11 years ago. Back to normal. Salt is a big culprit in my issues….i am calm too and energy is way up brain functioning normal. . I had anxiety before as well as the insomnia.
Okay yesterday added a little table salt to my meal. Just a a coupe of sprinkle…..and my insomnia returned. So did poor mood. So now its no salt for anther few days to return to baseline. Then will try celtic sea salt or himalya sea alt. Maybe i have an allery or insensitivity to other ingredients in table salt. Maybe yu guys can research brain allergies….many issues like ours can be due to immune reactions affecting brain chemistry and that having a knock on effect on sleep causing insomnia.
This is really interesting. Please keep us updated.

okay its concrete… unprocessed salt like himalya is better…. can handle a little like maybe 1/4 teaspoon a day. No unprocessed salt for me at all. But even himalaya salt affects sleep if i take a lot. coincidentally i took a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for a couple of nghts and that affected sleep and mod too. So did eatng lots of cheese. Its all due to sodium. The deeper and longer sleep occurs when i reduce sodium and on top of this if i eat 10 bannanas a day (it must be a sodium potassium channels balance thng), i feel so good almost invincible.. Mood is brilliant too and function normally and have so much energy as well as sleeping well. I think i Solved my hell after 10 years. Now ill see how it holds. I will have no salt for a couple of weeks and then add 1/4 teaspoon of himalya salt sprinkled on food. We need salt but we take too much. Then i can report long term results.
Glad to hear you're still doing well, Mo! Long may it continue.
