On sleeping: Google Davis Phinney Sleep

It should point to Davis Phinney's web site (excellent resource) and a sleeping lecture by Dr Gary Leo.

I suspect a lot of my issue is lack of sleep as it seems I get 3 hours, then awake. Adding a 10pm (bedtime) dose of Sinemet & Comtan helped in being comfortable, but the brain still just wakes up. Usually watching the 6 O'clock news, common to fall asleep.

When my gut slows down, I need a longer "no protein" window for my Sinemet. Typically I am a 'fast to metabolize' as I take Sinemet and feel better in 15 minutes. When my colon backs up with no movement, it seems like my Sinemet isn't as affective. Walking helps, but colace and senekot are both in the daily routine to help keep things moving, as is a morning cup of coffee (zero caffeine after 12pm, least disturb my sleep).
