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 hope you get the help you need and deserve. 30 years old is not old at all, so it's not a reason to feel like you're feeling. I hope you get better and have a wonderful life
I know people are trying to be more positive about ageing in women, but 35 or over is clinically considered geriatric in women: https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/geriatric-pregnancy
I'm not yet considered geriatric, but I'm absolutely not in my prime anymore.
It's just something I need to get on with. I accept that I'm getting old for a woman. I've seen lots of doctors and had every hormone, vitamin, blood test etc under the sun and they're all normal. I'm not going to waste their time anymore.
Stimulants are good.
