Default Has anyone else noticed...

Has anyone else noticed that after being on atkins and getting rid of all junk food - sugars - high fructose corn s*** - etc...etc... that they are sleeping better?

I've been living my new way of life now for 6 months (January 3rd - now) and one thing I've DEFINITELY noticed a HUGE improvement on is my sleep!

I used to be the kind that absolutely HAD to take a sleeping pill to get a full night's sleep - and most of the time I'd end up still waking up a few times during the night. I also - before I ever took sleeping pills - seriously used to be the kind that would wake up almost every hour or every other hour. I'd toss and turn like freakin' crazy and this is how I've slept pretty much since I was a child.

Now, I'm not saying things are perfect, by any means - but my sleep patterns have gotten SO much better! I still will take a sleeping pill once in a huge while - but for the most part, anymore, and I'd say maybe the last 2 months or so - my body has FINALLY decided it's time to sleep!

I don't know if it really is from giving up junk food and eating right with healthy fats and vegees and whatnot - but I would never rule it out and probably say that it definitely IS a huge factor in it - cuz c'mon - that's the ONLY thing I've really changed!

Has anyone else noticed that they sleep better? Cuz, I know - for me - this is a HUGE thing as I've seriously NEVER slept this well in my life - and I had actually considered doing a sleep study in the past it got so bad.

What about other things? Anyone else notice anything else that has changed for them - physically - (asides from the weight loss, of course) now that you don't eat junk food or sugar anymore?
