Could sunflower seeds affect your sleep?!
Question: I LOVE sunflower seeds I have been going through a huge sunflower seed kick I have also been having quite the spell of insomnia. It just dawned on me today maybe the spitz (sunflower seeds) have something to do with it. Yesterday for example I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. Then I ate spitz at about 10 and couldn't fall asleep till about 3 its getting a bit ridiculous

I dont think that there is anything in sunflower seeds that makes you stay awake. i think it is because they are so addictive you just cant stop eating them! I too am a big fan of sunflower seeds! i used to eat a bag and a half a day! my mouth would go raw!
never heard of any connection between the two - maybe the high salt is effecting your blood pressure
Obviously you should ask a Dr. However, if you are over 40 seeds can cause problems. If you don't have pain in your lower intestines it probably isn't a problem. I feel the sunflower seeds are just a coincidence.
