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.

    I’ve been told I was normal… right up until they decided I was anemic and horribly vitamin D deficient. Now I’m on iron infusions and 50,000mg vit D pills once a week.

      My iron and Vitamin D levels are fine. They were checked recently along with various other things.

        Sounds to me like they haven’t found what’s wrong yet, not that there’s nothing wrong.
