Hi Arx,
There are two effects that may be affecting sleep. Both adb12 and mb12 might be involved. Switching to an mb12 that only works at 20% effectiveness and doesn't appear to provide the neurological benefits seems to me to be a bad choice. My sugestion would be to hold off on the adb12 for a week or so, taking just the mb12 and moving it up or down as needed to find where there is a little neurological brigtening without causing insomnia. If that isn't possible, ie it is an ATP effect from the adb12 instead of a neurological effect of mb12 you will find that out. TMG can often help smooth that out with the adb12 and l-carnitine. I would suggest it is beneficial to get these things squared away before adding the carnitine. Going to the NOW becasue it has less neurological effectiveness would be a poor choice since the neurological effect is what is needed. Healing with metafolin can be triggered with as little as 50mcg or so of mb12.
Sleeping often becomes more conscious aas the neurology is waking up. I have been watching somebody in detail lately and the disturbed sleeping patterns are becomoing more normal about to months in. The person has changed from several naps a day plus an 8 hour sleep to about 6 hours sleep with one nap remaining and that is gettting shorter. The research indicated that total length of sleep decreases while restorativeness of sleep increases. One of the things that changes is that many people never get into deep sleep well while in deficiency, they have lots of shallow, non restorative sleep. This slowly normalizes and mb12,adb12, LCF, TMG and Metafolin at the very least are all involved
TMG might help.
Freddd,
Thanks for the reply.
I have decided to hold off on the adb12 for a week. Will just take the mb12 and move up/down as required.That will help to find out the cause of insomnia. I will keep TMG in mind.
I would like to state again that I experienced the nerve sensations with the NOW mb12 sublingual and not with the Jarrow sublingual. If this neurological effect is what is needed, doesn't this mean that I respond better to NOW than Jarrow?
I totally understand the sleep problem. I also experience varied energy levels(ranging from happy and focussed to confused to completely exhausted within minutes of each other!)throughout the day, and it's like I cannot commit to anything in the very near future, because.It's like there's no rhythm in life at all and it feels like madness many times.It feels like decades since I felt calm and relaxed. Any suggestions on how to feel at ease? ( It seems to me that the internal mechanism that provides relaxation and such things is flawed or inaccessible and hence, there is no way out!)
Thanks.
