{!firstname_fix}

Welcome back to the Keto Side Effects email series! You have already learned some 
basics about keto flu and the common side effects. Today, we are going to talk about 
getting better sleep, as insomnia is something many people struggle with in the 
beginning. This diet plan can cause chronic insomnia or sleep disturbances as your 
body begins ketosis. However, there are several tips that you can use to overcome your 
sleep problems. 

Take Magnesium Dietary Supplements 

With a low carbohydrate diet, you aren't getting enough magnesium, but you can find 
dietary supplements that contain this nutrient. The signs of having a deficiency of 
magnesium include fatigue, dizziness and muscle cramps. Begin by taking a low-dose 
of magnesium to see if it helps you to sleep better before increasing the dosage 
gradually. 

Creating a Relaxing Bedroom

When you are having problems sleeping at night, creating a relaxing bedroom is 
imperative. Your bedroom should be dark at night, and make sure to keep the space at 
the correct temperature. In addition, have heavy draperies over your windows, and turn 
off electronic devices such as televisions, computers or smartphones. 

Increase Your Consumption of Tryptophan Foods

You can consume more tryptophan foods to help you sleep better at night. The foods 
that contain this nutrient include turkey, cheese and red meat that are an integral part of 
a ketogenic diet plan. 

Take Vitamin B6 Dietary Supplements 

Vitamin B6 is vital for helping your brain produce serotonin. This chemical affects your 
mood levels along with regulating your circadian rhythms. In addition to taking a vitamin 
B6 dietary supplement, you can increase your consumption of seafood and eggs.
