I'll be a stickler, you need to make the same choice consistently over several nights. Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean you get to stay up late.

Unless you like punishing yourself, then go right ahead.

As someone with kids, my nights are sacred and I will gladly sacrifice my my health to maintain the small amount of personal time I get.

Which in the long run results in less personal time, that's a consequence that should be considered.

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

I crash once every couple weeks to catch up. It's all strategic.

Sleep apnea is a real thing. No matter how many hours you sleep, you're always tired.

I am on day 2 of my CPAP after a mild diagnosis 15 years ago. I tried CPAP then and it didn't work. Over time it got worse and now it is severe.

Now... now the machines and masks are better and...now it works for me!

I'm just walking around experiencing life not tired, without a headache, and it is surreal. I'm scared it won't last...

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago

It will last. It is incredible.

Congratulations on a new more shiny life. You deserve it.

[-] Jjcool27@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Sorry for the late reply. Congrats on not being tired. I will look into that as well cause I feel it's getting worse for me.

Dude I've been reading a lot of your memes for weeks now and I'm pretty convinced that you have scurvy.

Fatigue is a symptom of space fever, also, which is like cabin fever but in space and with fatigue. Somelotsoftimes I'm just not funny.

Constant fatigue not resolved with sleep is a sign of illness.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 13 points 9 months ago

The clue is the coffee. Caffiene addicts are all the same.

[-] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

WE ARE NOT!! AND WE'RE NOT ADDICTED!!!

(Sorry, haven't had my morning cup yet)

[-] kadu@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'm a completely different person before my first cup of coffee when beginning the day, and the contrast between me with and without caffeine keeps increasing.

Won't stop drinking coffee though. Depression already took most of the enjoyment I could have, I won't sacrifice coffee.

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I got rid of caffeine, I feel normal now, and tiredness isn't as extreme anymore.

[-] Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The coffee could just be another 'symptom' of something else. ADHD affects sleep and people with ADHD also tend to use coffee as, or to supplement, medication. Correlation does not imply causation.

[-] only0218@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Isn't it an indicator for it tho?

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

8 o'clock is too early. Go to bed at 10 or 11 p.m.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Depends on your wake time but try to get ~7-9hr sleep.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Sounds like sleep apnea maybe? Could also try taking half of a 25mg benadryl.
