it took me 1-2 weeks to notice the full effect after the vit.k discontinuation
Butterfly hug - activates parasympathetic nervous system - it put me back to sleep!
- Thread starter Mary
- Start date
i feel like that was part of the problem because when i would wake up at night it was like my brain was wide awake all of a sudden and there was no going back to sleep right away. i did take the K2 first thing in the morning btw.

@Mary
Thank you for sharing this technique and video with us!
I have been sleeping poorly and fitfully for a few years now. Usually when my nervous system is really revved up, and I can't sleep, or wake up and can't fall back asleep, I eventually get up and go do something else for a while.
Instead, I've been doing the Butterfly Hug for a count of 120 (about 2 minutes, I assume), and even if I don't immediately fall asleep, I do feel more relaxed and I am able to just better enjoy physically/mentally resting in bed, until sleep eventually comes.
I'm grateful to you and ALL of the insomnia/sleep related information you have shared with us over the years.
