Sleeping too well

[Squanch72]

Since I am well rested but wide awake at 3:47 I figure this is a perfect time to post this. Ben taking kava daily for three weeks or so now and started noticing last week that I am waking up earlier and earlier each night. Sometimes I am lucky and fall back to sleep but lots of nights I will be up for hours before the alarm goes off. I sleep like a baby from the root and feel well rested. I was just wondering if this normal kava effect or if some of you notice this effect also.

kava should make everyone sleep well for the most part, it can occasionally cause sleep disturbances and sometimes I hear a minority of people say that they can't sleep.

When I drink kava and wake up at 3 or 4 am, I'm still well within my kava koma and fall back to sleep immediately. That's a welcome effect compared to my pre-kava sleep patterns.
Rather, I find that when the alarm goes off in the morning, I feel like I need to sleep for hours still. Even if I got 7-9 hours of sleep.

Admittedly, I drink kava strong, prefer heavier strains, and go to bed fairly soon after my last shell.

@Squanch72, if I was up at 4am and feeling good, I would get up and get some computer work done. Make hay so to speak. But I go to bed at 9pm and normally get up at 5 so it's not a stretch for me. But if sleep is getting weird for you, then taper off the kava for a a few days and see if things go back to normal.

I sleep better, but sometimes have days I wake up really early ( for me), at like 5 or 6, and just can't get back to sleep

I usually wake up to take a monster whiz and then fall back asleep. Doesn't seem to negatively effect me.

Was in PA for the 4th. Only used Kava Kandy and KKR Concentrate while away. Great for travel but now I know what people say by Kava not letting them sleep. I woke up like every two hours but did fall back asleep quick. Last night I was back to my KBR Vanuatu3 and KWK Borongoru mix, two shells of second/third wash and one shell of first wash and back to sleeping like a baby and only up about an hour early, not bad. Oh I missed my traditional prep root.

Getting used to Kava sleep. Forced myself to stay up to about 11 and then I only woke up about a half hour early. Funny how good you can feel on less but better sleep. Thank you kava.
