      last night I:

      • Skipped the nighttime K2
      • Skipped the 6PM aspirin (took at 3pm instead)
      • Skipped the ice cream
      • Drank a big glass of warm milk with lots of honey

      well, no dice. woke up again at 3AM like clockwork and had trouble falling back asleep like I typically do. I didn't have any juice on hand so I drank another glass of milk with honey, and fell asleep maybe an hour later.

      today I'll try

      • Eating more throughout the day
      • Taking more salt before bed

        Following up here, this problem seems to be getting better. I started taking progesterone, so that may have something to do with it, though I don't know what the mechanism would be. The time I wake up has been getting later and later, now it's around 6AM instead of 3AM, and I have an easier time falling back asleep. @brad 's assessment was probably correct

          @eric Glad to hear it's dissipating. Your sleep should actually improve in quality (observable by the coherence, vividness, complexity of dreams) with a well-functioning thyroid. I do take progesterone for sleep some nights when I'm feeling "wired." Red light, epsom salt baths, or magnesium (citrate or glycinate) also help. Cyproheptadine (very small dose) works wonders but it can leave me drowsy the next day.

              @eric Sugar and glycine before bed helps me sleep through the night. Avoid high protein meals too close to your sleeping time
