Sofa. King. Tired

Hiro · April 25, 2018, 8:48am

I generally don’t get much sleep per night, maybe 5-6 hours. Apart from trying to sleep earlier, what else can I try to cure this perpetual fatigue that is slowly killing me

Talentloos · April 25, 2018, 8:50am

stop it. get over yourself. you are not special.

Flex · April 25, 2018, 8:52am

You wake up tired?

Do you sleep with your mouth open? Have you tried taping your mouth closed?

EDIT: I haven’t tried taping my mouth closed.

I have been running, twice a week, you portly red head

Talentloos · April 25, 2018, 8:59am

have you really? or did you go once?

Shirtless runs work best for Vitamin D

My point being, is there perhaps someone who was in similiar position and then discovered a vitamin deficiency or new pillow or something, which cured their chronic fatigue ?

my gf is amazing at curing that. afternoon cuddles/naps every 2nd day in the afternoon if work is quiet.

I’d recommend you get your own, not use mine

Hiro · April 25, 2018, 9:00am

really did, twice a week for past couple weeks

Talentloos · April 25, 2018, 9:00am

AV, the problem you have is not sleeping. stop playing ggames till 2 am. you dont have to game every day. get some sleep man.

I’m worried that if I do that, life just becomes a cycle of “WORK-SLEEP-WORK” plus i have SOO many games to finish ,If I only play a few times a week, the maths clearly shows that I won’t be able to finish them all.

Look, I know you are right, and eventually I’m gonna be forced to catch up on this sleep deficit. I just wish there was a workaround.

But that is exactly what life is for most people. you need to find the balance. Thats why i am sticking to weekends only now for gaming. In the week i am trying to get to bed early and get the sleep. Cause in the long run, it will only make you feel better. I know you also suffer from missing out syndrome thinking you are wasting your time if you do not do anything all the time. But sometimes its good to just sit and take it easy. Go to bed at 10 for a week. It will be awesome.

I am one of the few people who can not only cope, but thrive on 5 hours of sleep?
Lately I have been getting a bit more, and actually more tired when I wake up

Mottamort · April 25, 2018, 9:11am

yea but like you’re like some kind of like, weirdo or something.

Flex · April 25, 2018, 9:12am

Sjjhhhaaaww stopit you <3

My 2c as a former fatigue sufferer :

Exercise - even if you just walk around the block in the evening
Don’t play games or watch anything visually stimulating close to bed time
IMPORTANT - keep your going to bed/getting up times consistent. Go to be at 10 every night and get up at 7:30 every morning for example - yup even on weekends.
Read at night - relaxes your mind and body
Alchohol depletes Vitaman B (Thiaman) which leads to laziness/fatigue etc. so ease up on the drinks and if you have to drink, take a supplement.
Long naps on weekends don’t help at all - as in my experience you never get back sleep you lost.

I still feel tired sometimes, but I’m WAY better than I was. It was the exercise and the supplements that helped me. Also not sleeping in on weekends helped at ton as well.
