I really enjoyed reading this. You were able to see such clear connections. I found Little Sugar Addicts over 3 years ago and our whole life has changed for the better. We also had lots of sleep issues and they are mostly a thing of the past now. When our bodies are fueled and our biochemistry is balanced, everything is easier. We’ve found that a bedtime snack of protein and complex carbohydrate really helps with getting to sleep, staying asleep, and waking in the morning.

I am working the steps with my sugar sensitive daughter too. We have worked out several breakfasts that work for us. Now we are adding in a program friendly snack at bedtime too to deal with the *I don’t wanna go to sleep* and *I don’t wanna wake up* syndrome. The tantrums are slowing down. Our whole family is starting to breathe again. Who would have thought that changing what and when you eat could have such a profound affect on our behaviour?

I only wish I had known all of this thirty years ago when my daughter was small. Now I see the same effect with her son who is breastfeeding and sleepless. I will be passing on the article to her.I’ve been off sugar myself for about two years now after I read Kathleen’s book for adults PnP. The effect has been nothing short of miraculous and my own sleep patterns have stabilized after 50 years of broken nights so it’s never too late.Thank you for writing such a clear and readable account.Jaki
