Regarding the waking energy level, some solid protein seems to make a difference, though that may be only one of the factors. I started a new job recently, and at the end of the day, I was exhausted and couldn’t get anything done in the evenings. Lunchtime, a power nap was mandatory, to avoid falling asleep in front of the computer late in the day.

However, making it a point to get in an egg yoke with breakfast, as well as vitamin D3, the nap has no longer been necessary. Previously, I thought I was getting sufficient protein from other sources, but the egg seems to make a difference.

Uncertain, yet, about David’s recommendations about MCT Oil and Hydrolized Collagen Protein. Testing that now.

One important conclusion that seems obvious at this point: if you have the time and inclination to continuously monitor your activity – the content and schedule of your diet, and the subsequent effects on your health and quality of sleep – then you don’t need David’s advice. You can figure most of this out for yourself, with that kind of motivation.
