sleeping problem - lack of nutrients?

[andyho10]

whenever i go on a cut i find it very hard to sleep, im very tired but cant seem to fall alseep.

any idea what the problem is? lack of calories? nutrients?

i consume 1800-2200 calories daily, i make sure i get my protein (150-180g) and whatever in carbs and fats to make up the calories.

help is needed

A lot of people, myself included, have trouble falling asleep on low carbs. That might be it

It is surely related. When on a low carb diet, your body excretes more then usual amounts of adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol. These are all "fight or flight" hormones which do affect sleep

This, along with a lower Kcaloric intake comes lower fat intake meaning less dopamine release and lower carbohydrate intake also decreases serotonin production

Your body turns up your production of adrenaline whe you cut your carbs.
