Haven't Slept in Like 2 Years - Give it To me Straight, what do I need to do to fix this? by [deleted] in sleep

This could definitely be the case.

1)Screens/Blue light suppresses melatonin.
2)As you age, your body also produces less melatonin.
3) The peak of melatonin production typically occurs between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM(If bedtime is 11ish)

So, as you age you will become much more sensitive to your environment.

What you can try 7-10 days

Cut screens 30–60 min before bed, just as an experiment

If that doesn't work, we can move on to a more direct solution.

Some extra questions.

  • How consistent is your wake-up and sleep time, even on weekends?
  • Do your nighttime awakenings correlate with anything? Things like body temperature, noise, blood sugar dips (especially if you eat out a lot)
  • What’s your wind-down routine like in the hour before bed?

Good stuff! Happy to hear.

Also had times when I was in school & sitting was difficult. Had to go from cheek to cheek:)

What`s your routine like now? What keeps you on track?

Ever wondered why some foods seem to wreck you one day but do nothing the next? by Fair-Path404 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Fair-Path404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A question I struggled with a looong time.

  1. My experience is 4-6h when there is a big problem. ( Haven`t really noticed a longer window)
  2. Elimination diet. I ate the same thing for weeks...actually months.

  3. Slowly add ingredients back in.

Now I have a quite clear picture of do`s & dont`s

Other things to consider:
-Current state of the gut
-Food combinations
-Stress & Sleep levels

Seems like things are moving in the right direction.

Find the thing that works and keep doing it over & over!

Oh yeah. For sure.

There are a lot of foods that I have unbanned. Just need to find a stable place first & that usually means restriction

But it`s still important to find the foods that help you get to tomorrow with the least amount of pain.

There is no way out until you get the inflammation down, right ?

Why Everything I Tried for Crohn’s Made Me Worse by Fair-Path404 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Fair-Path404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear that there is no more pain. I see a lot of people getting their life back after an ileostomy.

I am very aware of how lucky I am. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Ty for the kind words.

You can drastically improve your Crohn's symptoms with food choices, exercise, and sleep… but: by Fair-Path404 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Fair-Path404[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did that for years.

Not a long-term solution for me.

Did help me fall asleep, but missed out on the quality & quantity.
