Tired still(slrpnk.net)

Last year I discovered what 7/8h of sleep felt like thanks to horse adapted amounts of sleeping medication (120mg of Miamserine, 500mg of quetiapine, some THC).

Before that I was used to 5/6h on the regular and 1/3h when it got worse.

I don’t really understand how I have functionned all these years with that much sleep deprivation.

I’ve been on various types of sleep medication, although those sound like newer ones than when I was trying them years ago- every single one of them left me drowsy in the morning. Some for half the day. It was even worse than just not getting a full 8 hours.

And OTC stuff? Forget it. If I take some NyQuil, I basically will be unable to do much but sit there in a haze for the next 18 hours or so.

I practically ran on 2-4 hours from 16-30.

I have a lot to show for it, but I should have stopped after 30.

Is one of the things you have to show for it premature aging?

I’m currently treating sleep apnea, because of a lifelong abuse of my sleep cycle.

I’m also dealing with issues with my heart because of the apnea and pushing my body so far without resting properly.

I’ve likely stolen a decade or more from my life all because I refused to sleep just to “get ahead”.

you young folk take note. sleep well, eat well, live well. you do those things and you shouldn’t need to live with a weight on your chest until you die. every hour I’m reminded how fragile I am, and trust me when I say I was fucking invincible in my youth…just like you feel. go head, set a timer in your phone to go off every hour that asks if you’re going to see tomorrow.
