I'd like to share an experience here. Every time POIS occurs, I could not sleep at the proper time. And I found out that this syndrome is recognized as the Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. A number of website elaborates on this topic, one of which is listed below:http://www.healthcommunities.com/delayed-sleep-phase-syndrome/treatment.shtmlOut of a number of treatments suggested in the above-mentioned website, I found Chronotherapy works best for me. It meant sleep 3 hrs later than that at which you go to bed the previous night. When I sleep enough, the POIS symptoms is less severe/ more bearable.

I'm holding firm (no pun intended at around 2.5g / day with some effervescent electrolytes added and doing very well on it. The trick, I've found, is to take the 2-3g over 3 drinks during the day. If I try to take it all at once it gives me stomach cramps but spreading it out helps keep me topped up and energetic. I take some spirulina capsules also and this gives another boost. It's difficult to describe how much better I'm feeling since I started doing this but a colleague commented that I've "come alive" which seems very positive!Thanks for the experience sharing, kurtosis.But, could you tell what 'effervescent electrolytes' is?Today, I topped my toast with margarine and garlic minces, the garlic cloves work really well for me, I mean whole day long, especially on my stomach.Weird enough, when I feel good in my abdomen, I feel better in my brain, and sleep better at night. They seems all interrelated. Again, the symptoms do not disappear completely.

Sometimes I put a little bit of rock salt with the C (not much, a few granules) and others I use one of the popular electrolyte replenishment drinks like nuun or hi5. I put half a tab of these in with the C. They fizz when they dissolve in water, just like effervescent C tabs.
From what I could understand from the translated El Mundo page, I believe this article to be the best and most thorough and accurate POIS article ever written about us.

Anything that will raise awareness -- and maybe bring in more funds for your grant -- is the goal.Just think of the countless men you'll be helping by coming forward!Break a leg this weekend, Observer and Hoping!!!!!StefHonestly, I'd like to have a look at the video/article before I commit to putting it on the page. I like the idea though. What do you think about contacting El Mundo and putting the NORD link up with the video and online article?? That could be great for getting people to donate. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to check the forum for the rest of the day (going to be at work). Observer, what do you think of the idea? Are you able to contact El Mundo and ask them to include the NORD link since I won't be around today?
