Do you get your best sleep between 7-9 am in the morning?
Do you find that if you don't get to bed by 11 you get a burst of energy and will want to stay up until 1 am or later?
Do you crave salty things most a lot of the time?
These are just a few of the symptoms. I know you are encouraged to stay away from salt, but I was staying away from salt and I was miserable. I felt bloated even though I was drinking tons of water. So after I found out about the adrenal fatigue I started drinking water with 2.5 ml to 5ml of sea salt (not the regular table salt). Since I've been doing that I have felt loads better. I can usually tell when I've had enough salt because when I first start to drink the salted water I can't even taste the salt. When I can taste salt in the water I know I've had enough and then I don't need to salt it anymore. I drink regular water until I get that bloated feeling again. It's a fine balance though.
As for sleep a half hour before bed you might want to have a snack with fat and protein. I usually wrap a piece of bacon around a slice of cheese. Also I take adrenal support vitamins (I know one brand here in the states is called from fatigued to fantastic). |
Thank you dear! Fortunately (because I already have quite enough syndromes and intolerances) what you describe is not my case! I usually sleep well from 11 pm to 3 am, and then the trouble starts. I can for the love of my life not stay in bed after 6.30 am! And I don't like salt at all.. I usually find most food prepared by others too salty!
