Sleeping only 3 hrs at a time

[garden granny]

The more I stick to a raw diet - it seems the less sleep I am needing at night. I go to bed about 11:00 p.m. and wake up almost everynight around 2:00 a.m.; sometimes I fall back to sleep for another hour or two and then it's time to get up, and I have plenty of energy throughout the day. This morning I've cleaned my kitchen, washed clothes, made flax crackers, carrot pecan burgers, curry sauce, and now I'm ready to go out and garden or something outside cause I've got so much energy! I'm 53 years old too! This is unbelievable, has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is it just temporary?

YES. Sometimes I sleep only an hour at night and I feel fine. I dunno what it is. I have been raw about a week. I know I don't need 8 hours, but I would like more than 1!

How long have you been raw Garden Granny? It may be the detox or just our bodies reacting to the change.

I've been raw for about a year, but I've slipped up and eaten cooked several times the first half but now I rarely slip up.

Can this please happen to me??? I seem to be late for work EVERY morning. Of course I am supposed to be there a 5am. But even if I go to bed at 9 I can't get up. :mad:

Go garden granny, go! I find this to sometimes be the case. I think the reason it is only sometimes for me is because I still have a lot of weight to let go of, so as long as I'm still losing and the resulting detox that comes with a decent drop, it'll keep being sometimes. However, I just simply will be DELIGHTED when it's a more frequent thing for me! Because I like having the extra time when I don't need as much sleep!:D
