Hi Eddie,

I'm gonna give this a try! We aren't taking LDN to suppress our endorphin production but to INCREASE it. We produce the most endorphins after 3:00 am. We take LDN before that time to decrease the production so that later, when our body naturally puts out more enodrphins, it will realize it is short and make a whole lot more.

When you exercise, you produce more endorphins, so it makes no sense to me to take LDN and put a damper on that. You're doing naturally what we're trying to do with LDN. I think that the exercise is a great complement to LDN when you take it at night.

If you take LDN on a hit and miss basis, you're probably not letting your body adjust to it's mechanism of action and that's most likely the reason for your sleep problems.

I hope you can figure out a way to make it work for you. I take mine when I go to bed so I'm already asleep before it kicks in anyway. Just ridding me of the heat intolerance made it invaluable to me. Everything else was just a perk.
