It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

    No.

    • Make sure you’re well hydrated after getting up
    • Make sure you’re always getting out of bed immediately after the alarm goes off
    • Make sure your alarm goes off at the same time every day
    • Make sure you’re getting up at the first alarm
    • Make sure you’re going to sleep at the same time every day
    • Make sure you’re showered before sleeping
    • Make sure your bed sheets and room are clean before sleeping
    • Make sure you’re off your phone for as long as possible before sleeping
    • Make sure you’re not drinking coffee too late into the day
    • Make sure you’re at least getting a brisk walk worth of exercise during the day

    I am exhausted and dysfunctional on anything less than 8 and a half hours of sleep. If I sleep 8 hours a day starting Monday, I have a headache and killer migraine by the weekend.

    Way more people are like me than people realize, but society has somehow normalized 8 hours of sleep. That said, good sleeping habits are worth so much and improve your day by immesurable amounts. Once you start taking sleep seriously, there’s no going back.

    Edit: Lol@ victim mentality. Up to you if you want better sleep or not
