Loosely fitting the bill, but:

The link between gluten and my 2 decade long bad insomnia, on edge mind, and restlessness.

Simply cutting gluten changed many things. Now I sleep so deeply I sometimes need a brief reality check to know what year it is, where I am, and how long I've been asleep.

Probably not for everyone, but if you have similar problems, definitely go gluten free for a few days and check the impact.



I had never even considered gluten, but I've been dealing with those exact issues for years as well. I'm going to give it a try.

Would you say it was actually noticeable in just a few days?

Thank you for posting this, btw. I've been feeling pretty hopeless about it and even if it ultimately doesn't work, at least I have a new avenue to try.


The results will kick in gradually. The second time I started, I knew what to look for, so I noticed in 3 days. But the first time, I mostly noticed after breaking the diet: eating my burger and my date's then trying to sleep.

My mind wanted to jump to the wall, bounce off it to the ceiling, then the other wall, like a scene from a cartoon. Then I remembered this image from childhood.

I had to play beatsaber for half an hour to calm that down.

BTW, I'm not a native English speaker, and heard about "bouncing off the walls" after I told my friends about this mental image.
