Will get some Benadryl to try tomorrow, if I remember (which is doubtful  :laugh: )

Just tried Wychwood Fiddler's Elbow - not bad, quite hoppy and bitter, pretty refreshing but I've supped better in that style. Moved on to Hobgoblin now, I'd have got three but they only had two left at the store hence trying the other Wychwood brew in stock. Hobgoblin pwns though, so yay :beer: :beergrin:

Not to sound like your hypochondriac Granny, but, alcohol can affect sleep patterns.  I found that if I drink, say too close to bedtime, 1-2 hours, I have problems falling asleep and wake up more often.  If I just cut myself off at  least 4 hours before bed, I do better!  Just something to throw out for consideration.  Since I'm a skinny guy, with a low tolerance for alcohol it affects me in ways that it might not affect others.

Ok, thats enough of the medical advice!  I'm getting dangerously close to pedantry! :evillaugh:

Noted. I have a high tolerance for alcohol/drugs/pretty much anything really, at 275 pounds my liver is probably pretty hefty. A few beers usually make me sleep more heavily if anything, but if I'm up on a session I don't get sleepy and can have disturbed sleep.

Orange juice.  I was at C.V.S. and I wanted the  one pound bag of pretzels, but I selected the orange juice because I am in controll of my feelings. Truely, I perfer a whole orange rather than just juice, but a high dose of alpha lipoic acid caused a nasty drop in blood sugar level.  They had no whole oranges and I was low on cash. I noticed I was starting to sweat a little, and in addition to feeling week and craving carbohydrates, its a sign my blood sugar level go too low.  I should reduce the dose of that stuff.

Yeah, thats the other thing, before bedtime I have to get off the computer and go listen to music or read something lite.  To get my mind into sleep mode.  If I watch tv and look at news, my mind starts  to churn and ponder, when I should be getting my mind to "shut down".  If my mind starts to turn over thoughts, forget it, I can lay down, but I ain't sleepin'.

It does not do my body good, and the milk casein is rejected showing up as increased mucus in the sinus passages.
