7. Sleep issues

During the first few days of sticking to a ketogenic diet, many people find themselves tossing and turning during the night or waking up in the early morning hours and struggling to fall back asleep. This has less to do with the high levels of ketones and more to do with lower carb levels. Just like carbs make us drowsy after a big meal, they help us sleep at night. Like other symptoms of ketosis, the body should adjust to the change.
