Was is meant with high fat diet? Combined carbs and fats like in donuts? Ketogenic/low carb high fat diet?

It's hard to find out what causes not sleeping throughout the night. Personally I had to: - Cut out food and drink 6 hours before bedtime (even limiting water). This minimized my body waking me up for many digestive/expulsion issues. Now 3 hours before bedtime is enough. - Read novels with vocalization in your head that aren't too exciting one hour before bedtime. The reading slowed my thinking and minimized waking up with racing thoughts. I now need 15-30 minutes of reading to fall asleep. - Took 2 months of applying this daily before I could sleep through the night.

Good luck finding out what helps you!

I've had insomnia for years, cured it with one hard rule: wake up everyday at the same time. Every other adaptation was extra.

I read about the rule in The Effortless Sleep Method by Sasha Stephens.

Time:

* Falling asleep /// Waking up at a fixed time, also during weekends. Not eating or drinking (other than water) atleast 4 hours before bed. No screens 1.5 hours before bed. Wool duvet (comfortable temperature range is much higher than down or synthetic, less sweat).

* Waking up /// Drink a glass of water, turn on daylights, do push-ups.

* Styling my hair. Going to a barber /// Trimmed it to 2mm and maintain it bi/tri-weekly.

* Shaving /// Grew a beard and trim it weekly.

* Washing clothing /// Replaced t-shirts, sweaters and socks with merino wool. Doesn't stink wearing it a few times, dries quickly, good for hot and cold weather. Underpants are synthetic because of increased moisture wicking and durability.

Money = time:

* Using shampoo and conditioner /// Use 'No Poo' method (also when I had very long hair).

* Using perfume /// I use deodorant (coconut oil based) to prevent smells.
