Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hello~ In the first week of doing raw I noticed an immediate change in my sleep pattern. Sleep has been a big issue for me all of my life. With raw I fell asleep faster,needed less sleep, and woke up clear headed and refreshed. That has waned some. Do you all experience this new kind of sleep, or do you still need alot of sleep at night? thanks in advance Angela Movies - Buy advance tickets for 'Shrek 2' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have always been a person who needed a LOT of sleep. Since eating mostly raw (more and more every day) I've started to feel more energy and getting up with my kids in the mornings is actually pleasant!!! I just got a new book in the mail today, Fit for Life II - gonna go read for a bit before going to bed. Night!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi. I'm glad that you posted this question because it made me aware of a couple things. While I have not noticed so much of a difference in my sleep patterns at night, I have noticed that I no longer need an afternoon nap, which I needed everyday to get me through the evening. Also, I have noticed that I no longer feel sleepy when I drive. Peace, ~*~Mary Ellen~*~ - Angela LaMonte rawfood Tuesday, May 11, 2004 9:43 PM [Raw Food] Sleep question Hello~ In the first week of doing raw I noticed an immediate change in my sleep pattern.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I haven't been raw long enough to get my excellent sleep pattern back yet, but I remember a couple months ago after being raw for awhile, I would sleep about 5/6 hours a night, fall asleep easily and wake up clear, energized and ready to go. Hopefully, soon I'll fall back into that pattern. Rich New Forum: www.rawfoodeaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thanks for sharing that Mel. Thats great to hear. I began that way, but now am finding I need more again.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 That is amazing, and inspiring as well. I look forward to that time Angela Tara <taburner wrote: I only sleep about 3 hours, 4 at the most and have more than my share of energy all day long...I've found most that are raw dont need as much sleep, but sometimes during different seasons some of them sleep a bit longer... tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 That is so amazing. To have my relationship with sleep be different is such a motivator for me.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I should explain a bit further. I'm still getting a good amount of sleep - about 8 hours, maybe 9 depending on when I go to bed. I usually sleep from 12 or 1 until 8 or 9 when my kids wake up. That used to not be enough, and I was cranky as can be. Now it feels like plenty unless I'm sick.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Isn't it obvious that anything outside of raw food leaves a food hangover? That sort of tired, giddy, comfy feeling until guilt sets in. That is, of course, when we overeat, which we eventually reach. It starts out as a food high with false energy that's going to come crashing soon. Rich New Forum: www.rawfoodeaters rawfood , Angela LaMonte <amadera656> wrote: > Same here!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yes. I guess it is. But I didnt see that before. I saw my apathy/lethargy/depression/over-eating as a sign of personal failure, as a sort of moral indictment. Like...no matter what I do I cant get my sh** together. I really didnt associate it with my food choices. I feel like the world should know about this secret~!
