Hey, cathy. How are you?
I don't know if they cause that, but we can search for articles about it.

Well a light dinner like a soup or a turkey's ham or steak sandwich (whole cereal bread) ou turkey meat with safflower rice has always helped me.

Absolutely they do. My sleeping was the pits and it got worse the worse my ED got. When I was very sick, I remember struggling to get 1-2 hours of broken sleep per night. There were 1-2 day stretches where I didn't sleep at all. Once I went 3 days without sleep. It was miserable. My sleeping got much better once I recovered from my ED though I still did battle occasional insomnia (but taking OTC herbs like Valerian) helped me. OTC herbs and sleep meds did nothing for me when my ED was so bad. Even with Trazodone, I wasn't sleeping much. I finally had to take Ativan to get some sleep, but it left me feeling all drugged in the morning. It sucked.
