The Importance of Vitamins

For years, I have suffered from insomnia. I have tried all kinds of remedies from Kava Kava to Trazadone, but lately I came to a realization thanks to a Dr. John Selig. John is the stepfather of one of my best friends, and a month or so ago I had a chat with him during which he asked me to rub my index finger across the top of my thumbnail to detect any ridges that might be there. Mine was full of them. He related that this was a sign that I was vitamin deficient, and I agreed, as my diet is a horrible one. Based on this, I made a resolution to get back into taking vitamins again, but since I have a hard time swallowing the damned things, I haven't been very consistent in the past. (Choking for like 10 minutes followed by yacking them up will do that to you...) Soon after this when we were at the store, Jenn noticed some gummi vitamins that were for adults, so I decided to give 'em a shot. Usually I question the authenticity of any vitamins sold at Wal-Mart, but it seems like the better the vitamin, the bigger the pill. These suckers turned out to be the best vitamins I've had to date! I could feel the energy after the first day or so! What's more, I have had much less trouble sleeping. I used to depend on energy drinks to keep me going through the day and had developed a one-per-weekday habit. Now I'm good to go without that stuff. It's great! I'm thinking that one plus of chewing them is that the vitamins may get more readily absorbed in this manner. So, if you guys are insomniacs or just find yourself dragging through the day, you might want to get on some vitamins that work for you. Like I say, I've fought this stuff for years and nothing has really helped consistently but this.
