Maybe gender and age play a part. I have heard many times, that people sleep better with less carbs, I have just never experience it myself. That is not to say it is not true, just not my experience. I think keto is amazing and highly recommend it.

This is the Patreon post where he talked about it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/80643330?utm_campaign=postshare_fan

These are the studies he cites, not sure where exactly to look though:


Text from post: Very few people have linked the complex pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy with an altered spectrum of sunlight because they do not seem to understand the biology of POMC even today in 2023. They continue a biochemical focus with their lens pointed to retinal oxygen/fuel consumption with resultant hypoxic damage to retinal neurons. Blue light destroys melanin because it raises blood glucose and insulin. UV light and IR-A light is what are critical in the melanin renovation of the RPE. The biochemical focus wants to continue to discuss potential mechanisms through which sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve retinal hypoxia—through ketone bodies. This is incredibly myopic because no one seems to understand mammals make glucose and insulin from blue light.

Oh wow, this is why I started Keto and why I’m here now. Didn’t get a good night sleep for years.
4hrs was a good night.
Only been doing this new Keto Life for 3 months and I get 8 hrs every night. I wake once for a pee and go straight back

There is some newer research emerging out of Europe that shows that the body sees fat loss as an injury and that the body has two options to repair the “injury” (survival mechanisms) from shrinking fat cells. One is to refill your fat cells with fat, or option two is to reshape or remodel the extracellular matrix, or exoskeleton. This can play out over a few years or even longer. Fascinating research. It may help explain that we may not have as much control over weight gain as we think we do.

Are you measuring Net Carbs or Total Carbs?
Are you consuming Dairy?
Are you measuring your Glucose/Ketones via blood?
Do you keep a Food Diary?
Are you using Artificial Sweeteners?

This is an old post of the things I recognized…

I’ve stopped almost all American cow dairy, and don’t get up at all now. I do have some local raw A2 dairy I make yogurt with or I buy goat yogurt. I found when I stopped cottage cheese too, I had less prostate issues. A1 casein in American cow dairy seems very inflammatory to me now, and probably always has been.
