Sleeplessness

     Today I am on R5VLCD2. I had a difficult time sleeping last night but did not think too much of it. Tonight before laying down for bed I took an epsom salt bath, a 50mg 5-htp and drank a cup of sleepytime tea. I hit the lights around11:15 and instead of falling fast asleep, I stared at the dark ceiling...WIDE AWAKE.

    Around 1am I gave up and moved to the living room. I then took another 50mg 5-htp and a 100mg melatonin and put on a movie. It is now 2:18am.... NOTHING.

I did a little research about HCG and insomnia and came up with mixed ASSUMPTIONS. One of these assumptions was that insomnia was due to vitamin diffiencet on the diet. I completely disagree. I am only on the 2nd day of   low cal. I lead a healthy, nutrient full life and am of average size to begin with. How could I be vitamin diffident in only two days? Especially when taking a high caliber multi-vitamin and choosing nutrient rich vegetables with my meals?

My personal opinion is that insomnia is due to the increase in metabolism. Now the question is, how to get to sleep?
