@kathleen1314 I'm trying to take a new approach to the problem to see what works best for me. I did change the time of day that I take my B Cpmplex vitamins. The Life Extension brand that I recently switched to do seem to have a fast effect on me. It worked today to ward off that sleepy time. It's now 5PM and I'm still wide awake!

I also switched to eating tiny meals of mostly protein several times a day. Basically, I'm eating one total protein/veggie meal a day, but I'm breaking it up into 5 or 6 mini meals. I don't know if the positive effect is from changing the B Complex or the eating routine change, but today was a good day.

I will check back and update you in a few days to let you know if it's still working.

@kathleen1314 Well, as I promised, I'm back to give you an update. For two days in a row, I drank a protein shake in the morning, had 5 mini meals throughout the day......and I stayed awake all day, both days!

Now, for the bad news. My body was so exhausted from staying awake all day for two days in a row, that I did nothing but sleep the two days following that test period! For me personally, I have to conclude that my body needs that rest during the day. I just can't function without it right now or I will suffer the consequences.

But on the good news side, I was able to control it for the first two days by the size of my meals. So you may want to switch your eating schedule around a little bit. Start your fasting period late in the day, then eat your first meal at noon or so and eat your healthy snacks throughout the day. I guess we all just have to go through the trials and error process to see what works for each of us. Good luck to you, my friend and I hope things improve for you. ❤
