Sleep, sleep, and more sleep

[iLoveSugar]

Thanks to those who recently helped with suggestions on breathing issues. I've been taking 300mg thiamine a day, occasionally mag glycinate. I seem to be doing a bit better.

Brings me to my next issue. I am so extremely exhausted, on-edge, and sore. I just started taking vitamin D, so we will see if it helps.

I sleep 8-10 hours a night, wake up feeling like I didn't sleep a minute, and am a walking zombie all day. Come 9 PM, I'm ready to roll and not tired. Any suggestions? I'm a 38 y/o male, and feel like a complete slug. I try and walk about 10k steps a day, and definitely feel better when it's warmer out, but obviously I can't control that. I'm so achy and tired.

Lately I've noticed whenever I eat feta cheese at night I get into deep sleep. Getting enough calcium is very important for sleep. Eggs (yolk) also, if I eat it earlier in the day.

Do you have any muscle tension or pain?

Reverse cortisol pattern (low in the AM, high in the PM) I‘d guess

I do have muscle fatigue, pain, etc.

SLEEP

“Good sleep requires fairly vigorous metabolism and a normal body temperature. In old age, the metabolic rate is decreased, and sleep becomes defective.” -Ray Peat I must have hit old age in my twenties, because I had terrible insomnia back then. Looking back now, and knowing more now than I...
