For the first month of being gluten-free I had a really hard time sleeping....I was soooo tired and exhausted all teh time when I was eating gluten. Then I went gluten-free and had all this energy. I got better for me..I cut caffine ect which helped alot.

I suffered insomnia through coeliac.

Over the last twenty years my sleeping got worse and worse. It was like I woke up on the hour every hour, and if unlucky I couldn't get back to sleep. It felt like I couldn't get into a deep sleep, always half awake. Then I gave up gluten due to being diagnosed with coeliac. True my sleeping over those first few months got worse. It was more stress that was keeping me awake at that stage. But now, two years on, it is a rare night when I can't sleep. It is wonderful.

If I find I can't sleep I have to ask myself what have I eaten?

I have trouble with insomnia and tend to wake up after about 4 hours of sleep, regardless of when I go to bed. I don't have an answer for how to deal with it. Still trying to figure it out myself. I also have Hashimoto's thyroidits and tend to think it may be related to that. Don't know for sure though.
