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.

    At 35 or over a woman’s DNA is so beaten up from ageing that the chance of deformities etc goes up *by orders of magnitude. *

        I’m not trolling, though. I’m just stating facts that are freely available in the medical literature. Why else do you think the odds of birth defects increase massively with pregnancies at or after that age, then?

          I’m not debating you on pregnancy and women aging. That’s not even what the post is about.

          What are you doing here?

            It’s a vent-meme. Sometimes it’s just a good way to get frustrations off your chest.
