I'm trying to wrap my head around some issues I've been having with some nocturnal insomnia. I recently started increasing my carbohydrate intake a few weeks ago. I never thought about my nutrition beforehand, and mostly ate what would most probably be considered a low carb diet. I was a pretty avid fitness enthusiast; mountain climbing, uphill and downhill running, weight training, and road biking, and more. Considering the amount of exercise I was getting, and the food I was ingesting, I know doubt believe I was hypothyroid, and possibly diabetic. So, after ingesting copious amounts of carbs, and eliminating my workouts apart from a once a week resistance training session, it somehow lead to some serious insomnia, with difficult breathing, and frequent urination. When I started my temps where low, and pulse low as well. Well, the past couple nights have progressively gotten worse. So, last nite I went to bed around ten, and know doubt knew that I could not fall asleep. That's when I decided to go for a light jog, with a few hill sprints, and performed several exercises; after which I took a hot shower, and back to bed feeling much better. After several minutes, my difficulty breathing came to a halt, my mouth got moist, and my breathing felt free. It was as if a mountain had been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel into a deep sleep, and woke up feeling really good. As I write this, I'm feeling my best yet, and feel like I have energy for days. All the work I've been doing for the past two weeks is now starting to make sense, and I believe coming into fruition.
So, now I'm curious if anybody can describe why some of my symptoms of insomnia took place. What are the ramifications of someone coming into a High carb diet who is hypothytroid, and starts consuming copious amounts of carbs? I'm trying to understand this more clearly, and I believe it's leading me to how metabolism works, and it's effects on someone who is hypothyroid, as opposed to someone with normal metabolic functions.
