Sleep Can Often Be Elusive

Hmm. Just looked that up:

Good. Try taking 1 pill first and see if that does the job. As I said the dose is 2 pills, but compared to other herbal multis, this is pretty strong with the herbs, so 1 pill could have the desired effect.

 

The way how it supposed to work with the Na-Ka pump (it is a complicated kidney mechanism) is that potassium (Ka) and sodium (Na) are supposed to be in balance in the body. If you eat too much sodium the kidney releases the urine because it is trying to keep the balance. But if you put in extra potassium, the kidney is not forced to release urine, thus less peeing.

Now if you worry about the extra calories or eating late, you could just take a few potassium pills (a banana is 400 mg), but that would be 4 pills and those are strongly advised to take with food to be diluted against your stomach lining. (ask me how I know)

It's not the extra calories. I just found that the less food there is in my stomach when I go to bed, the better I sleep, all else being equal.

 

I don't think the potential insulin resistance is worth a nightly banana. That's just me.

 

Wouldn't that largely depend on the ripeness of the banana? Just curious, how many servings of fruit do you eat on an average day?

 

I don't eat fruit.

 

Okay, that was unexpected. Why not? Does not the fiber in fruit moderate the insulin spike from the sugar content?

 

I ran a CGM and found it to be complete and utter horseshit.

 

That's interesting. And disheartening, since I eat a fair amount of fruit. So much so, that it rivals my vegetable intake. Yet my HbA1c is well within the normal range.

What motivated you to do such continuous monitoring?
