I have been sleeping also as a result of reading Lights Out. I feel that
I have control of my self for the first time in my life. I have been a
very compulsive person in many ways for my whole life. The paleo diet
gave me some control over carbohydrate consumption but not portion size.
A simple diet change of eating one food per meal gave me control of
portion size and it gave me emotional stability. But there is a
difference between getting control of something and not having to
control it because it has ceased to be a problem all together. The case
where is no desire to be controlled or wrestled with.
The sleep regimen, sleeping or resting in total darkness from around
sundown to sun up, has given me a feeling that I can control myself in
all areas of my life and not be controlled by my compulsive needs or
desires.
The sleep has also removed any desires for carbohydrates. I have a
perfect release from the pull of carbs! I am developing a different view
of the world after just two weeks of sleeping properly, the paleo way.

P.S. I hated reading Lights Out because of the rhetoric, the run on
sentences that made no sense, and the lack of meaningful references
(actually the lack of numbering on the references).
This is probably one of the most important books of my life. I just wish
they had taken more care in writing it.
