Poor sleep - strange conclusions

It's funny how things come to you after sleeping on it. Normally I am a VERY heavy sleeper, but if I get woken it's very hard to sleep again.
Not sure what made me come to this conclusion, probably because I am dealing with a particularly bad hayfever time at the moment... but I am starting to suspect I am 'allergic' to sugar... possibly just the processed white sugars.
A few years ago Charlotte (sister) and I were talking about the dry and 'split' finger tips we both seem to get, and last night I woke up thinking that's the same thing I get in my nose - splits for no apparent reason. When I have been on Atkins diet my 'hayfever' clears up and I have no splits on my fingers - 'cos there's very little to no sugar intake...
... I wonder
Could be worth investigating through Dr's.

  1. I have hayfever all year around so don't see it being related to change of seasons. But I was on Atkins earlier this year and had a break last month... during which I was experimenting and taste testing (far too much) cake. 2+2=sugar?
