I remember when I was a child I could take naps and wake up refreshed. As an adult I slowly lost that ability and for the most part stopped napping. The reason was that I would usually wake up groggy, sometimes disoriented, with headache or ill with nausea and definitely not well rested. I realized just recently that I can now take a normal nap and wake up refreshed after an hour or two. This is new and only since being on carnivore. Such a simple thing but I'm so grateful.

It can be really weird what happens to the body based on the foods we choose to eat.

I came out of the service with the innate ability to turn fifteen minutes into a power nap that felt like several hours long. I rolled out the military into various forms of 12 hour rotating shift work. My ability to power nap was always a go to if I could fifteen minutes (anywhere, any conditions, any amounts of noise-just get still, concentrate and go out like a light)

When I took the Supervisor's job in 2015 that all changed. I have nights since where I have done my damn-est to get in ten or fifteen minutes and can't force myself to sleep. Some say it is because I gave up my hourly-paid rotating shift worker membership card when I moved to a salary position. I don't know what happened but I sure do miss that ability.

Carnivore for 15+ months and it has had no effects to my lack of ability to nap.

Babbling.

Bob mentioned carnivore and skin tags and in my brain I could not see any correlation. I have always had them under my arms and even had to have one removed once as it turned and started growing inward to for a pilonidal cyst. I had been on carnivore about a year and looked in the mirror to see the ones under my arm were gone. I had them just about my entire life not eating carnivore and after a year of eating carnivore they are gone. I have looked for information to explain the correlation/correction of carnivore but have not found any.

Maybe the biggest lesson I have learned about going carnivore is that we are all individuals and there is nothing cookie-cutter when it comes to us as individuals on carnivore.

I have a bizarre biphasic sleep pattern. I will fall asleep between 10pm and midnight, and wake up around 3am. Like wide awake. I let the dog out, take my BP meds, and then doom scroll on my phone till about 4am and then go back to sleep and get another 3-4 hours in. Wake up just fine, feeling no need for any hot caffeinated beverages - although I still enjoy one cup of tea, I don't "need" it.

Sometimes I come home from work and nap for a bit in my recliner before doing anything else.
