I would skip the fitbit as well. Perfect on sleeping on your back. Try doing something relaxing for 15 minutes a day. Not computer related :-) Possibly stretching or reading a calm book.

The REM sleep will take some interpetation. It won't come out and say it directly. Still very helpful.

Peace - Runny yolks are great. You will find a happy medium on the water for sure. Maybe 8:30 or so? You might consider getting on of these: fitbit.com/one . It will tell you how often you are waking up and what time. This can let you know if it is REM sleep also how many times you wake up. Another benifit is that it tracks step taken and stairs climbeed so it can track 15 minute workouts as well as steps taken during the day. It might be worth considering. Also if you sleep on your side you may need some additional pillows.

Peace - Once you have had two yolks then you should be good. Anything over that is not needed. However I like eggs and eat 4/day. If you are eating the whites make sure they are cooked. Yolks can be runny. I would not eat whites to begin with. Awesome on the crab and fish! Sounds like your sleep enviroment is good. Sounds awesome!

Waking up during REM sleep woul dexplain the drams but there could be other causes as well. It sounds like you are waing up to use the bathroom. You might make sure the room is dark and that there are no distracting lights etc.. ALso consider drinking less water after 8 or 9 PM. Not watching TV or the computer after 8PM. An unlit kindle is perfect because you need to use room light to read it. Eggs are great. You need fish or oysters as well. or take fish oil. Best Wishes - Eric

Peace - One cause of vivid dreams is waking up in the middle of REM sleep. 15 minutes a day walk will be great. Butter is the safest choice for starting out with dairy as it has the least amount of protein. Which makes it the least problematic of the dairy products with regards to allergies etc... Eggs and Fish are the most important. If you could get some oysters it would help a lot as well. If you live in a sunny place try and get some sun. If you do have some dairy take it in small amounts. I would wait until the eggs and fish are introduced before adding in yogurt and cottage chees

Peace - It does sound like more food wouldl be good. The Egg Yolkes are really healthy. The whites can cause issues with alergies etc. I would start slowly in the yolkes. maybe one a day or five a week. Then after a week or so jump to two a day. At two eggs you should be getting enough fat from eggs. Fish can start as low as 2 servings a week (1/2 lb per serving). Use wild salmon as it is best and farmed salmon has die which would be bad. Start walking 10-15 minutes each day (5 days a week).

The Fluffy test is not very accurate either. You want to get your LDL down idf possible. Also HDL is not that high. Are you working out much?

JB Primal. Be sure to read Travis's response in the link I added to my post. You might want to cut out cream and butter for a month and re-test. You should get a second test anyways.
