I’m currently adhering (somewhat loosely) to a 11am - 7 because it allows me to eat dinner with my partner after work. I’m swallowing my last bite at 7:05 most days.
Separately, I’ve always suffered from insomnia - the kind you wake up at 3am or 4am and usually won’t get back to sleep before 7 am when I need to get up. I usually get to bed around 10 pm so I have many days where am under slept which contributes of my over eating.
Has anyone had success switching to a morning eating window - say 7:30 am or 8:00 am to 3:30 or 4:00 pm and find that it helps with insomnia finish the eating window earlier in the day ? I don’t tend to get very hungry in the evenings in general.
I would highly recommend you try using Glycine, it’s an amino acid which is a game changer for helping you stay asleep , it’s called an inhibitory amino acid meaning that it relaxes your brain, it works good when you first try it & even better with time! i use 3 to 5 grams an hour before sleep. i would also recommend using a sleep app on your phone, i use sleep by android, i’m sure there will e a good one for apple phones.
I feel for you, I have the same sleep issue. And yes, I have a much easier time going to bed on an empty stomach than waking up and not eating. So I usually eat between 7 and 3 pm. Unfortunately it means making dinner (when it’s my turn) and not eating. Luckily my wife has kind of gotten used to it.
