when you eat carbs right before bed, do you have trouble sleeping?
I know i have trouble falling asleep and i have nightmares. Like today, i lifted weights, got home and got my pwo meal in and took a nap. I dreamed my dad died and i think i was actually crying in my sleep. But anyways, how about you?

i find too many carbs at night make me sleep poorly as well. i also feel groggy in the morning when i do. im very carb sensitive though. if that's the way you are as well the just have a protein shake and something else lowcarb for your last meal. seems to help me.

i usually have very few carbs before bed no real reason why though. Weird though I dreamed my mom died last night and woke up completely disoriented.
you can boast about anything if it?s all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.

I dont think it's a good idea to eat Right before Bed. eating 1-1.5 hr before bed is what i do and i found it really help, fall asleep faster.

OT: When your cutting, for your last meal (not right b4 bed), do you suggest a low carb meal or does it matter?

I don't think its the carbs, I think it is the fact that "nap dreams" are always freaky. I have no idea why but whenever I nap crazy things happen in my head that don't when I sleep at night.

well think about why cheese causes nightmares its cos the fats and caesin make it slow digesting.
i had to take a test for serotonin at the docs and had to have no bannanas and turkeyamongst other things for 24 hrs most fruit was on the list and tomatoes and aubergines
