I started bulking about 10 weeks ago and in that time I've put on 10-15 lbs. However, I have had trouble falling asleep during this period and my sleep has not been as deep as it used to be.
I was wondering if the time of my food intake could be the cause. Here is what I eat and when I eat it on a daily basis: (/ = or)
8am: Shake - 1 cup milk, banana, one scoop whey, tablespoon olive oil
10:30am: usually some wheat bread
12:30pm: grilled chicken sandwich/cheeseburger/turkey sandwich, beef stew, pretzels
3:30pm: tuna on wheat or peanut butter on wheat
4:30pm: apple
6:00pm (7:00pm on workout days): Shake - 1 cup milk, 2 scoops whey, 1 cup oats, 3 strawberries
8:00pm: chicken breast/steak/fish/ground beef, wheat pasta/brown rice
10:30pm: 3 eggs, toast
I also drink water throughout the day up until bed and wake up atleast once or twice a night to go to the bathroom.
This is what a typical day looks like for my diet and I don't stray from it much. I take in a large portion of my calories at night after 6pm. Could this possibly be contributing to my trouble falling asleep?
