I’m always fatigued and struggle with migraines. Any suggestions from people that have improved their nightly deep sleep?

Note: I have IBS and the long gaps awake are normally…. Well you can figure it out.

Giving up the booze. It has made a huge difference

    There it is. As I’ve gotten older, even 2 beers will fuck up my sleep schedule, which then spirals into sometimes weeks of 5-6 hours of sleep, which turns into required naps, which makes it worse.

    I still occasionally drink, but I have to limit it or start drinking at like noon, which probably also isn’t a healthy habit.

    While I don’t have any data on this, just thinking back on my own experience from youth to today as a 41 year old man… I don’t think adults handle recovery from alcohol worse than 21 year olds… I think we are just more aware of the consequences of the alcohol and weigh the value of the alcohol lower.

    When I was in my 20s, I used to occasionally drink to the point of having a hangover or even puking… fairly regularly I’d have a few drinks in the evening.

    My sleep quality was terrible back then, but I didn’t know why or that some people don’t live life that way… in my 40s, with sleep trackers etc I can see exactly what alcohol does and have experienced life with several consecutive months of no alcohol.
