I resided in a ladies dorm when I was in college. I’m not the type who gets homesick so I loved the freedom of living independently. That is, until I started experiencing insomnia.

At first, I thought maybe I’m having an unusually delayed case of homesickness. Then I blamed the bed frames which were really squeaky. Then I stopped taking my siesta naps.

I’ve talked with college friends and dorm mates about my sleeping problem and like me, they were all clueless on its origin as well… Then Carmela, one of my roommates, remembered I’ve started taking stress tabs multivitamins. She suggested that I stop taking it for at least two weeks and observe my sleep pattern.

Lo and behold, she was right! The stress tabs were the root of my sleep problem. I had become waaaaaaaaaaay too hyperactive because of that multivitamins to get some decent sleep. After that revelation, I decided to ditch the multivitamins and just stick with vitamin C.

Next time you have some sleep problems, do check your medicine or food intake into consideration as well.
