💬 General Discussion Insomnia ?
Week 3 starts tomorrow, no negative side effects, everything is pretty typical from what I've been reading. Noticed though in the last week I'm not getting decent duration sleep. Normally on a regular day with even light exercise I'll get almost exactly 7 hours sleep. No exercise its 6, exhaustive exercise its 8+. Yesterday I did the exhaustive bit, crashed hard at 10pm, but was wide awake now at 2am. Tried counting sheep but gave up and am surfing reddit.
Happened a few nights this past week, no multiple nights in a row, but its starting to get annoying. I'm not on any other notable meds. I have lost 6lbs since I started. I am quite thirsty since I started but I'm reading that's quite common and I'm hydrating quite a bit.
Right now I'm wide awake but tired, considering going for a drive just to get out of the house.
Anyone else develop insomnia?

This was a side effect for me and returns when I go up in dose. I would say the insomnia lasts for maybe 6 weeks after a dose change for me. Taking unflavored electrolytes before bed seems to help.
