Re: [fast5] insomnia, blood sugar and falling asleep?

Yesterday I had a steak, salad, asparagus and cheesecake at 5, by 5:30 I was asleep. So I can hardly wait to hear some answers on this, as I am clueless.

I have trouble with insomnia off and on...

Today, I fasted, and around 4:30 I went to the health food store - they were giving away free samples of vegan chocolate truffles - close enough to break-fast time, so I ate a few, they were delicious.

Then I came home and ate a big plate of beef, and a leaf of lettuce. I ate til I was very full. About 40 minutes later I became very, very sleepy. I went to bed and fell into a deep sleep. I would have slept all night, but my guy called and woke me, he needs to come over and borrow something.

I am wondering, a big meal seems to do a blood sugar thing on me. But I wonder if it's the answer to my insomnia problem. Is that a healthy way to fall asleep?

I would not make a habit of starting the meal with chocolate truffles, LOL.

Thank you,
Tamara
