The obvious question: Does higher protein intake substitute for carbs or fat, or does it have an effect on sleep regardless of total calories consumed?
very timely as Dr. Stashia Gominak - the Sleep Right Neurologist - is back in my consciousness after two good podcast interviews about her work on patients with sleep issues and vitamin D. The tryptophan comment is interesting. These amino acids are also made in the gut by specific bacteria. Bacteria can also make melatonin. Our Simple Slumber formula was designed to do just that and we have people reporting that they have doubled their deep sleep according to Oura ring data. I would love to send you some to include in your data collection and see if you notice the same thing. I'm also interested in the negative effects of Zone 3/4 - I've been talking more about stress load and endurance exercise but even shorter time zone 3/4 may result in similar stress issues.
