I sleep 10 hours a night but still need to nap constantly during the day. Even 400 mg of caffeine doesn't buzz me, it just makes me feel 70% close to my normal, high energy 20s self. My daytime fatigue is so severe I've been mistaken for being drunk (even though I don't drink), and I experience a dream like brain fog around friends unless I use caffeine pills to seem present.
I know this is part of normal aging for a woman in her 30s, but it's frustrating to constantly need naps when I haven't even done anything. Sometimes you just have to biohack. Still, I feel a bit jealous of how men age differently and seem to keep loads of energy.
This is far from normal… 10hrs sleep + naps? I saw your answers about having blood tests done and coming back good. Is there something psychological going on? Heart problems? Hormones? (I don’t need you to confirm or deny, just consider it)
No, and my hormones were tested too including estrogen, thyroid, etc. all are normal!
You may wanna consider submitting to an actual sleep study.
If you sleep 10 hours a night and still wake up feeling fatigued you're probably not getting the quality of sleep you think you are. It's possible to have sleep apnea or other issues without even knowing it, and the only way to find out is by doing a sleep study.
I get very good sleep! All my tests are normal, my boyfriend has watched me sleep too. I don't even snore. My brain's just getting a little bit unfresh lol
"Its just a flesh wound!"
You can have sleep apnea without snoring.
Autoimmune diseases don't have specific tests, they're diagnosed only from exhibiting symptoms. There's other conditions that won't show up in blood tests either.
