So I discovered that my body is extremely sensitive to caffeine and refined carbs (ie white breads,sugars). Maybe it's their addictive qualities that make me over eat them or maybe it's some sort of other biochemical thing going on idk.

Regardless eating a low processed carb diet helps me a lot. The challanging part is when "fall of the wagon" as my coworker call it lol

For instance the other day I had a nightmare that woke me up at 2am. I couldn't fall asleep again. Time for work rolls around and I'm dead tired. So I drink a coffee....and after that everything spirals out of control. I eat carbs/crash/more caffeine /cravings etc. It could go on for days/weeks before I get back on track.

Getting back into my structured diet is so hard! Anything ideas on how I can reduce the time spent 'off the wagon' so-to-speak? It seems the hurdles are the extreme tiredness and lethargy and cravings I experience :-S.

Have a great day!

I'd guess part would mean keeping a food supply of the whole grains, fruits and vegetables around to eat., then just eat those. Some carbs are good to help you sleep. Just not the processed kinds. Such an assortment of nutrient filled foods should help you with the lethargy.
As far as nightmares, my psychiatrist has told me, that if mine became an issue, there's a different sleep med he could prescribe.
Eat more fruit, is my answer to cravings. Not that I don't ever touch processed carbs, but I also eat numerous foods with whole grains. If full, tougher to crave...
