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.
I've talked to loads and my tests have returned normal!
Nah, your tests aren't normal. You likely have messed up things with too much caffeine, too much stress, and very likley are overweight and have sleep apnea.
Get a sleep study done, exercise more and work on healthy sleep habits and you probably will fix things. Very few people need to chug 2+ energy drinks a day to feel 'tired'.
My BMI is 20, I only have caffeine occasionally in the form of pills, I'm not stressed, and I don't even snore.
Please get a sleep study done.
I've wasted doctor's time enough. And sleep apnea wouldn't explain why this was gradual and started happening as I approached my thirties. Just like I'm getting old and aren't that far off from being considered geriatric for a woman. (I'm 31, so a little under 4 years off) https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/geriatric-pregnancy
When I was in college, I could not sleep all night and still ace college from 8 till 5. And then do lots of stuff after I came home. And my BMI is still 20 so it's not that I've gotten fat.
My wife is 41 and depressed and doesn't have issues like you do. Please go see a doctor and don't leave until they take you seriously. Blood tests are usually the most basic screening nothing more.
