Are you getting up earlier to take your levothyroxine, or alternatively eating breakfast later?I've been taking thyroid meds for several years now.  Fortunately, I have always roused early, so take my thyroid meds around 4am, then go back to sleep, to get up at my usual time. Some folks take their Levothyroxine last thing at night.  That's absolutely fine, provided it's a couple of hours since you last ate  Lovethyroxine works on a therapeutic dose basis, so it takes a few days to build up in your system and a few days to leave it, so changing your timings isn't a bit thing.</blockquote>
