Hello Hillel,

Sleep disorder is very much related to ES. I think you may be the
exception to the rule if you are ES but a good sleeper. My husband's
worst ES symptom is that he has NOT had refreshing sleep for over
five years... He is exhausted and painful all the time as a result.
You are very lucky.

Your reaction to the wheat grass is similar to what my husband
experienced from taking a "green" supplement called Green Magma. It
is supposed to have an energizing effect - as a result my husband
could not sleep at night, even if he took only half the recommended
dose and took it early in the morning.

Perhaps you could try taking a smaller dose? Whatever you do, I
recommend taking extra care to protect the quality of your sleep. One
thing my husband has learned at great cost is that no work deadline
or goal is ever important enough to sacrifice his health.
