Had 30 years of insomnia. It was literally hell.
I fixed it in 3 years and it stayed fixed.
I stopped eating sugar. zero sugar in food, no sweat drinks no candy. And I didn't replace it with some sugar free stuff.
It took 3 days and then I started to sleep really good.
After 2 years I started to eat some sugar again. Still do but I am a little bit mindful about it. That is all.
Mine was hard to fall asleep. Even after training at the gym and working constructions. In the end I slept 1-2 hours per night in the week.
All of those problems are gone now. Been sleeping good for 12 straight years now.
I sometimes fall asleep before ten in the evening and I sometimes wake up half past four in the morning. Well rested and in the mood for my first cup of coffee.
I had to read the label of everything. And that is how I realized that there were high amounts of sugar added in almost everything.
I didn't even drink juice squash fruit drink sap syrup. In the beginning the first days, I mixed sweet drinks with extra water. But that soon became to sweet, it was really strange. Like I suddenly was able to taste natural sweetness.
Even sliced cucumber was sweet.
