It is hard. And sometimes just depressing to even have to wake up. Like actually physically painful to wake up - not like what you guys go through with fibro or serious back conditions, etc., but painful still. I would love to just pop up full of energy awake at the right time.

Talking to my Naturopath Doc friend today, he thinks he can help me. He suggested not eating 3 hours before sleeping since I take the klon or ambien sometimes at night (he takes xanax lol - that surprised me a bit). He says it delays the absorption of the food and can make you groggy in the morning no matter how well or how long you sleep. He also wants me to consider food allergies to dairy or wheat...

Might make sense, cuz I have weird eating habits, like sometimes don't eat all day and not hungry until bedtime. And I just love comfort food snacks in bed at night, or a beer (that's wheat usually). Gotta just quit that for the sake of my health and sanity - if it could improve my wake up problem, it could improve many other areas of my life. I'll give it a go tonight and see.
