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.
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.
