The secret is to take in enough mild stimulant (coffee, pre-workout or whatever) that it becomes so unpleasant to do nothing that you’ll do whatever to make it stop.

    Honest question, do depressants give you energy? Like if coffee makes you want to sleep, can you take 2 benedryl and feel like you want to run a marathon?

    Won’t do that again until it is my doctor who prescribes it.

    Throw in "also, we're having an anxiety attack and everything hurts for no good reason!" and hey, it's the past 30+ years of my life!

    "Well actually, not so much 'forgot' as uhh... How do I say this... I never intended to make the energy. Just didn't feel like it. Sorry, not sorry."

    I do oat milk because it is milky and carby and it tastes good

    If it’s fermented, it’s also higher in sugar afaik

    a teaspoon of oat milk is higher in sugar than a teaspoon of sugar?

    This morning I woke up at 5 am (consequences of summertime) watched the finale of daredevil, used my computer for the remaining hours then went back to sleep and eventually back to bed - woke up with so much mental clarity it felt like I'd died.

    The last two hours of sleep are clearly the most important and I wouldn't shame anyone for taking a nap right after waking.

    Funny thing is exercise helps with that (barring disability in which case talk to a doctor), but in general the less you move the worse you feel and it takes a bit to kick in
