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.

Geriatric pregnancy does not mean women over 35 are geriatric

[–] meltycat@lemmy.world -2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

If your DNA is so beaten up from ageing that having a pregnancy after 35 is risky, then perhaps it makes sense to call 35 old. A woman who is geriatric (or advanced age) having a pregnancy.

The woman’s DNA is not involved. Women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have. By the time a girl enters puberty, her eggs have already degraded to a degree before it was even possible to use them, because that’s just how things work. That doesn’t mean she’s somehow past her prime before puberty even starts.
