Man..I soooo slept in today. I was really exausted. I've kind of said F it to morning cardio this week...I've been way too busy with school and work and everything, but I'll try to make up for it this weekend.

Question.... do any of you ladies have trouble sleeping through the night when you're dieting? I'm usually an extremely sound sleeper, but the past few weeks I've been waking up at least three or four times during the night. I wake up either to pee or I'm really thirsty. Any thoughts??

I had the same problem when I started the diet and training a while back... like in the beginning of my thread. Everyone said to try ZMA and it worked for a few nights but then I still had a problem. I was almost ANXIOUS to get up or something.... like b.c i started getting up so early in the am for cardio. Then I got this bedtime tea (chammomile/hibiscus/lavender) and it worked wonders for a while... still after a while I would wake every 3 hours for weeks. Then, as if I got used to whatever was making me not sleep... it stopped. I think it was b/c I would eat a fat+protein before bed... before I just drank a protein shake or ate a protein. COuld be.. maybe your body is used to eating on a schedule so thats why you wake.

SO many things could be at fault here... but I hope you sleep like a good baby tonight and every night after that..

Thanks Aries! Yeah, that's exactly how I feel..anxious to get up. I actually don't mind it YET, because I've struggled with getting out of bed my whole life. I am normally a seriously deep sleeper. You're probably right about my body being on an eating schedule.
Not a big deal. Just thought I would mention it. Thanks a bunch!
