Is there an app for iPhone and/or Mac?
f.luxI wish I could put a vote in on this topic.. But really, I don't have any correlations. I'm always off and on with my sleep. Almost always in bed for 9+ hours, but sometimes I wake up once a night, sometimes I wake up 4-5 times a night, sometimes a dozen or more. I have no idea what variables are causing the outcomes for my self.. It's an extremely long process trying to figure it out.
Might be a good idea to keep a log of your diet and sleep.
+1, it might be something small fluctuating your sleep that you dont realize when just trying to recall of memory. For me personally its easy. Carbs at night=Little Sleep.

Or maybe just wrong carbs! (;
White rice, gf bread, gf flour? Only the last BL was a horrible one, (the Nugo Binge) all the others were quite clean and controlled.
Im hoping we can get a TON more experiences here. Id like to compile a list of commonalities and see where we can make positive changes to help with the diet and sleep quality.
considered many of time stopping this protocol due to this certain issue without a fix

Due to sleep issues? Wow they must have been bad. Sorry to hear that! How did you get over it? I feel like mine might be caused by boosting my metabolism from excess energy that my body isnt used to. I think that after a few weeks of consistent backloading and increased intake ill be used to it and begin having improved sleep.

still have not fixed it my dude, im on the fine line of stopping, i dont think its worth it in the long run if i cant sleep, worse is when u do wake up in a bit of a sweat starving and super fatigued

i had that a little bit when doing CBL.. keeping my backload to a single meal post workout seemed to fix this

CB and Caino Id like you to try a couple of things. 1. Do whatever you normally do for your backload but make sure your last meal is reasonably high in fat (like 30g+) and is sugary rather than starchy. Ice Cream is perfect IMO. The sweats in the middle of the night is most likely hypoglycemia. Even if you don't get the sweats, waking up in the middle of the night is often tied to blood sugar and hypoglycemia. 2. Use as little water/high water content foods as possible. If you have to have Shakes or other drinks use the bare minimum of water and make sure you salt them. If you don't really have any liquids and aren't eating anything particularly high in sodium (like a pizza) try getting at least 1/4 tsp of salt before bed. Sodium reduces adrenaline and can help you get to sleep (and stay asleep) easier.
Will try that. My BL's are usually very high sodium because the GF Flour I used almost every time is very high in sodium. I have had fritters before bed, but not ice cream. As said I will give it a go.

thanks for the advice man, i put a shit ton of himilayan rock salt on my chicken and rice, i usually follow that up with some cereal or what not, ill put this to the test, but this is the reason why i asked that on SHR blueprint power hour in regard to Berberine to drop my blood sugar level, i dunno if i wrote this earlier, but one of the worse things is lying there, and its dead quiet and you hear your own pulse beating on the side of your head against the pillow lol shit is wack!!! they say that sleep is the most important thing in anything and i think this is why im not getting the results as most others do, its been over a solid year now hoping what you have said or giving berberine a go is going to help
Im guessing the reasoning behind the fatty/sugary last meal would be to create a large spike as needed to store, but not drop to quickly to create a Hypoglycemic side-effect? Really could be my problem. I always ended my CN's with Ice Cream, and sugars. Not always fat but it was always pretty sugary. And I never had trouble falling asleep. The fat in my BL will be needed anyway to make sure im at a surplus for the day. Thanks for the tip, excited to give it a shot. Wont be for a few days as Im reorienting myself though.

Yes that's the gist of it. You kinda want a smooth transition from burning carbs to burning fat. With sugars you make sure you have some liver glycogen to smooth transition into fat burning.

I don't think trying to drop blood sugar quickly is going to help. If anything eating a lot of starches is going to cause this to happen which is going to jack up your stress hormones to make up the short fall in glucose. The pulse thing almost sounds like transient hypertension/high blood pressure. Do you get much calcium/magnesium in your diet or backload? it sounds like sodium is covered, which is also magnesium sparring.
