One more point about oils blcoking those awakenings: they stop working (at least for me) if the same oil is taken each day. Alternating allows them to work. I usually alternate between canola and sunflower or safflower. I think beef fat and Evening Primrose oil worked on successive nights, at least initially, but gradually lost effectiveness. The first time I tried beef fat (after avoiding meat for months), I think I slept a full 6 or more hours. Last night I managed 3 hrs, skipping just one of those awakenings.
There seems to be a time delay. A meal of fatty beef in the afternoon might skip the first few awakenings, while having it just before bed might skip later ones.
