Day 14 - Slept solidly for

This never happens.  I am am one of those people who spend a lot of time staring at the ceiling - thoughts racing through my mind. I get up early & go to bed late. My husband cannot keep up. When I do sleep it's rare that it's for 8 hours uninterrupted. The cat meowing at the window in the night, Matt snoring, my mind making lists of things I need to do tomorrow - composing e-mails I need to send & having conversations in my mind with people. It's kind of annoying, even to myself. I got a great sleep last night & as I woke up this morning realized that this has been happening more & more. I wouldn't say I'm going to bed earlier or getting up later - but the sleep overall has been better. Deeper, less tossing & turning in the night & waking up more refreshed - other than around day 10 of this 30 day journey. Could it be the raw vegan diet? I believe there's a correlation. Lighter tummy, better food - less energy wasted on digestion & rumbling around in the belly means my body is getting a better rest? Could be.

Look at this delicious light & tasty lasagna I had from www.healthyfunkyfoods.com on the 30 day challenge. Layers of raw vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, peppers & others) a tasty tomato sauce & a pesto layer & then lots of fresh herbs.  After eating this I felt great. After eating the non raw vegan version - as much as I LOVE gooey cheese & tasty pasta as much as the next person - I can't say I feel great after eating it - I feel like having a nap. Instead I'll enjoy the raw vegan version & get a good night's sleep!
