Sleeping Better

This morning I awoke with a start and a realisation that there had been no waking up in the middle of the night and finding it really difficult to go back to sleep.

I always used to equate that behaviour with caffeine, as can be seen from previous posts I am an enthusiastic tea consumer. But now I'm thinking it may have more to do with sugar.

As well as cutting out alcohol I decided to stop taking sugar in my tea as well, as going through a big pack every two weeks slightly freaked me out. Aside from these consumptions I never really had a high sugar diet (except for the comfort/binge eating I would do after a drinking session). Am I experiencing the positive effects of lowering my sugar intake?

I certainly hope so. Since I began this I have been waking up every morning feeling incredibly tired, as if I would need to stay in bed all day. But after forcing myself up and having a good breakfast (which normally involves peanut butter) I would generally be ok. This morning was a little easier, hence me posting on my blog at 8am. 

I look forward to future positive signs of my actions, the first being next monday when I weigh myself. If I haven't lost anything from taking away my alcohol calories and MAKING SURE I'm not replacing them with food ones I will take the pug's name in vain.
