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 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.
It sounds more like all those doctors have wasted your time. Find one that actually cares enough to fix whatever is wrong with you because I promise, just like every other person on this post, what you are experiencing is not normal for the vast majority of women.
That's for pregnancy, please be for real.
I hate to say it, but this post and all the comments from OP reads very much as a man pretending to be woman to poke fun at aging women and call us old in our 30s.
Like, it doesn’t make sense. Velma PLEASE MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!! 💚
I'm as astonished as you are!
It’s this part at the end that really caught my eye and made me think that way. Like what ?!?!
And like…that’s the only posts this account has. It’s all “hahaha I’m an old woman”
?!?!??
That line and now the pushing that women are geriatric when we turn 30 years old.
There's something wrong here. On multiple levels.
It’s so weird I might need a drink stronger than coffee this afternoon lol
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.
