I seem to wake up after 4 or 5 hours of sleep maybe four nights a week. I actively try to stop fluids 2-3 hours before sleep, thinking it's urine-related, but I don't feel a particularly strong urge to urinate.
But if I do get up to go, then sometimes I find myself not being able to fall asleep again (not easily anyway). Is this something to do with gluconeogenesis? That is, it starts burning protein and the cortisol makes it difficult to sleep?
I've recently started counting calories, and I strongly suspect I've been under-eating for a while now, so these recent days, I've been trying to increase my foot intake. Yea, I'm self-diagnosing, but ever since I cutting out a lot of carbs, most nights, my sleep ain't that good.
Any tips on getting a better sleep? I've read some people saying to eat some carbs (others say just some snack) about an hour before sleep, but doesn't quite seem to work for me.
