For those of you who are all or high raw, how many of you have noticed a reduction in the amount of sleep you need, and then, what are you energy levels like on average?
Thanks!

Hi Lauri!
Boy... it's great because some nights I'm up at 4am and wide awake and full of energy
! But I feel refreshed and I actually get tons done before my kids ever wake up! Some nights I sleep through the night... it varies for me. But there is definitly a significant reduction in what you need... Even if my kids wake me during the night, I feel alert- not droggy and out of it like I used to feel on the SAD (standard American diet) Hope this helps, oh, I'm about 95% raw at the moment. Take care!

I just need loads of sleep!! But I'm still detoxing (greasy hair, spots on my face, losing weight, etc) I can easily sleep about 9 or 10 hours per night, and I sleep very good normally, with a few exceptions here and there.
Also my dreams are pretty exciting, I have a lot of re-occuring dreams again, dreams that I've dreamt before, a lot of them are coming back, which is weird but also cool, because they are always exactly the same, I like my dreams a lot!!
As for energy: I can walk a lot faster and longer than before I started with raw... don't break into a sweat as soon as before raw, and not that tired anymore after a walk...

I'm still detoxing too. But the major change for me has been that I've stopped snoring! This means that I'm able to sleep all through the night. Before going raw I woke up several times during the night and never felt rested when I woke up. Now I can easily sleep 8-9 hours straight! And it feels so good
