Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9521260" data-attributes="member: 18">I have a weird issue where I just never fall asleep like, accidentally, nor even on vehicles or the like. For a while I thought it might be related to taking ADHD medicine but I've had several weeks without that before due to supply shortages (a really tough time I can tell you, not fun), so I now know it isn't. I can't even fall asleep on planes or the like, when I would really like to, even if I'm tired, and alcohol only makes it harder too!BUTFor a glorious 2 years after COVID about mid 2020 to mid 2022, I was "normal for 40s" on this. I absolutely nodded off like other people my age, on trains, whilst playing really boring videogames, whilst reading rules text, watching movies, etc. I was just getting used to this, and thinking "Hey, this is quite a change, maybe it's not so bad! I do feel more rested!", when it snapped back to "normal for me", which is I can get incredibly tired and drowsy, but I don't fall asleep unless I'm literally lying down and probably have at least a sheet on in me (I also wake up ridiculously easily, which is very annoying for everyone involved).That said, one change has remained! From like, 20 to 40, I mostly operated on like 6 hours sleep a night - if I slept much more, I got headaches, and I never seemed to be more tired or less energetic than other people who slept longer. But at 46 now? If I don't get close to 8 hours, I am going to be tired, I am going to missing energy, and I'm even going to be weaker than normal (as the gym shows).</blockquote>
