Bursts of energy at night?

[Funnygembunni]

Anyone else with hoshimotos get huge bursts of energy at night? Around 8p-12a???

Hi I recently changed taking my levo back too evenings and the first night I did I was buzzing a bit nervous energy etc. Settled now but I hardly ever feel energetic at all. Not sure that helps lol

Yes, I have hashimotos and feel at my best late at night, usually 11pm-3am. It's so annoying because I'm very sleep deprived.

I recently read that they consider this as a symptom of depression. Sorta annoys me that they want to put it all down to depression.

I have more energy at night too. I am not on any medication yet. I consider it could be also about struggling adrenal glands too. Earlier if I weren't in the bed before 10 pm when there is cortisol burst it was hard to fall asleep before 1 am.

Now that I have been fixing af and taking B12 I don't have that anymore. I still feel the best around 8-11 pm but it does not keep me up anymore. Unless I have eaten something that I am sensitive to. If I eat something that contains dairy I cannot sleep at all!!!

Yes, I am always more alive at the hours you mention!

Could it be to do with adrenals and cortisol production? I was reading Dr Wilson's book "Adrenal Fatigue" the other day and he talks about how, if we're not in bed/asleep before 11pm, we can get a "boost" after that time until around 1 or even 3 am. I know that was happening to me. I've started trying to be in bed (if not asleep - as I take ages to get to sleep) by 11pm and I think it is helping me sleep a little more soundly. It's difficult to change these sleep habits though.

NO! Wish I did!, however I'm always more alert so that's just me

Yes I do, almost exactly the same hours you mention. I try to read quietly in bed until midnight, so my hubby can go to sleep. Then I creep across to the bathroom before I put the light out. Strangely I can fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon, but try not to. If I do I have real trouble nodding off at midnight. MariLiz
