Yep, this is me.
Stupid brain turns on at 3am, refuses to turn off and always complains.
Sleep apnea is fun, too. Just add him ‘sleeping’ for a very short time between those panels.
I’ve recently learned that consistency of going to bed and waking up at the same time matters more for long term health than sleep duration. I used to obsess about getting 8 hours but go to bed at various times between 10pm-1am and I’d never set an alarm on the weekend. Since doing a consistent 9:30pm-7am my health and energy has improved tremendously in the last 2 months. I’m already starting to wake up before my alarm. I highly recommend trying this if you haven’t already.
I can very easily plot how good I feel on any given day against how consistent my sleep/wakeup times for the last week have been.
If I know I fell asleep at midnight, and woke up at 8am every day for the last week straight, damn will I feel energized today. But if I know last night I got to bed late, then went on my phone, and hit snooze on my alarm, yup I 100% deserve the grog and demotivation I have today.
you might try a Valerian Root extract tincture. Just make it your self with ethanol everclear and some Valerian Root, make it strong.
then have some before bed and odds are that you’ll be well out. But don’t buy a crap version, get a good strong one or just make it yourself, it’s easy.
Wait hold on
Aren’t you basically just taking a shot then?
Don’t forget the Valerian Root!
