I've been carnivore for around 7 months now and originally went on this diet to improve my sleep. It helped alot, but I almost always wake up exhausted, fatigued, tired, not well rested and foggy. I usually sleep long enough hours like 6-8 hours. I go to sleep at 3-4am, wake up st 11-12am. I definitely feel like I eat enough fat, I do a 80% fat to protien, and definitely eat enough total cals. I finish my last meal about 4-5 hours before bed. And I don't drink coffee. Any suggestions or advice help.

Im 7 month in carnivore diet and all of a sudden l've been getting increased heart rate during night, and during days too I think. but 1 dont reallv notice during dav. My Body feel wired before bed, like my nervous system is over active, my heart beat harder and a bit faster, and has caused me to barely sleep, averaging 2-3 hours of sleep a night this past week. I never had this problem before it just randomly happend. tried electrolytes, upping fat earlier meal times, spilling meals, nothings working. I eat usually around a 80% fat, and like 3k cals per day. im 18 yr old male. idk if this is like heart palpitations or tachvcardia, or idk. I iust feels like something is iust turning my body on, keeping me awake even when im tired.

In the past I've felt this sensation of my body feeling nervouslv active and wired. and its alwavs been because of undereating or not having enough fat. But I feel like iam eating enough of both with proper ratio, cause ive been good for the past 7 months prior to this

I've been on carnivore for 8 months now, and have had great success. I started the diet because in the past I've had chronic sleep debt and insomnia. The diet really helped my overall health and wellbeing.

My typically everyday meal: 3k cals, strict carnivore, around 80% fat:

striplion, eggs, bacon, and 130-160g of cow fat trimmings. Eat around 6-8pm. and aim to sleep around 1-2am.

This meal has never caused any problems that I couldn't fix. And has worked pretty well for me.

The problem that started 9 days ago caused racing heart for most of the night, wide awake eyes, and a complete lack of sleep, averaging 2-3 hours of sleep for the past 9 days.

The day it started I was at work and was rushing to finish my dinner before 8pm, because meals later than 8ish pm usually effect my sleep. Rushing the meal made me barely chew any of the fat or food I ate, and made me cram most of my dinner in about 1hr. I had never rushed a meal to this extent before.

I suspect that must of been the cause because its happened before but on a way smaller scale and not as impacting, and usually resolved in a day or 2.

The real problem is its been 9 days of this shit, barely sleeping, and fast heart rate during majority of the night, and burping too. It feels like a digestion problem, like my stomach is trying to digest the fat for 10+hrs, but I could be wrong. online people seems to point to electrolytes, or meal timing, but not sure what to increase or decrease.

The past 9 days I've tried waking up earlier, adding potassium and salt 1 day, did a 1 day water fast and threw up in night, and just waiting it out. Nothings worked

Im not sure what to do, this problem has caused anxiety and alot of stress. Anyone experience this, need advice.
