You’re correct about pre-workout supplements. Most of them contain caffeine or some form of stimulant that can stress your adrenals.
The insomnia that you’re describing could be a sign that your cortisol cycle is still dysregulated. The changes that you mention (giving up stimulants etc) should eventually help with this. But there are also a lot of techniques you can use to improve your sleep in the short term. Check out this list for some easy-to-use tips:
https://adrenalfatiguesolution.com/essential-guide-to-sleep-hygiene/Hey Brody – I had just about the exact same symptoms as you, including the waking up at around 3am every night and not being able to go back to bed. My doctor recommended I take a Neuroscience (it’s a brand) test, which recommended some supplements for me – and I’ve been feeling a lot better! it’s only been about two months, so I’m not completely healed yet – but definitely progress. Just in case you wanted to look into that – I’m not a sponsor for them or anything by the way (haha). Good luck!
