30 Bananas a Day!

I have been 100% raw about 55 of the past 60 days, As I have been shifting my lifestyle to make the change permanent. The biggest problem I am having now is an inability to sleep enough (I have never really had trouble sleeping before).

During the first week I would often wake up after only four hours of sleep. A week later I got sick for about 3 weeks and while sick was sleeping about 8 to 10 hours a night again. But once I gained my energy back and started feeling the best I ever have, I started waking up after only four hours of sleep again. I am definitely feeling the sleep deprivation this week and actually used nyquil two times out of desperation. But I felt even worse the next day doing that, and it only worked for that night.

My diet has consists of about 4 to 5 meals a day, the first three being mono meals of fruit and the last being a zucchini pasta or a green smoothie. It is an 80-10-10 diet followed by the book, except for the extra meals that I will eliminate as I expand my stomach.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone have any possible solutions?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Re Calorie needs, consider logging your needs and intake for a few representative days. (ex. Nutridiary.com) As a triathlete, I'd guess you'd need even more than 3000 calories on some days. As an example, my base needs doing no exercise are about 2400 calories. Yesterday I ran for 3 hrs burning about 2400 calories. That's 4800 calories of intake need. I sometimes find it hard to eat that much, without a conscious effort and choosing fruit higher in caloric density. My main trouble sleeping is related to taking in so much water-rich food late into the day, and needing to pee frequently at night. It helps to eat earlier. Good luck to you.
