"Hey there, back to our tip. Another tip benefiting vitamins regarding your sleep and healthful sleep and good night sleep is what it really is. I just want to tell you that there are people that are really sensitive and unfortunately that's quiet a bit of us and some of us are even more sensitive than others especially to medication. You may want to check with your pharmacist or doctor to find out if your medication is causing you to be a little too awake at night or have a little bit too much insomnia. If so you may want to take it earlier in the day or see if there's an alternative that may be able to not make you so awake at night. Other things; oh my gosh, we all went to be so healthful and healthy right? And of course me too and that's the reason why I take my vitamins and oh I drink my lovely yummy kabocha. But your B-vitamins, unfortunately if you take them later in the day, they are so good for you earlier in the day and later on they are too but unfortunately B-vitamins can tend to give you a little too much energy and that energy trans tribes into oh my God I can't sleep very well tonight. Oh my gosh I'm not sleeping very well at all, I'm tossing and turning, I'm waking up in the middle of the night. So what you need to do is with your kabocha, like your caffeine, maybe even your brown rice you might be that sensitive because there is so many B-vitamins in this as well as your other whole grains. And definitely your B-vitamins, take them earlier in the day or eat them earlier in the day or drink them earlier in the day and you'll have a more restful night sleep. Good luck!"
