I normally would fall asleep at this time but now it’s later between 3-4AM. And I think this is a symptom of my mental health decaying.

You’re not the only one. Another fall/winter like this and I think I’ll be at rock bottom. Normally I’d be knocked like like 4-5 hours ago, not so much anymore. It’s not even the reduced hours of sleep getting to me either, the quality is shit as well. Waking up is terrible.
Is this a depression thing, or anxiety, or what?
Probably a mix of all of the above
damn. time to spin up nostalgic hits of the last two or three decades again.
Godspeed, soldier o7
Have you tried vit D supplements, assuming it’s winter where you are?
I’m good for a few months but when the nights start to get darker earlier, here, I’ll be taking 1000–4000iu per day, depending on what’s cheap when I buy a few months’ worth. Doesn’t help that I don’t get out in the daylight much.
I’ve done that for about 6 years now and have been loads better in winter since. Previously, damn it wasn’t good. It was my doctor that suggested it.
Maybe a disclaimer is good: don’t take supplements without speaking to a Dr or pharmacist first, especially if you’re on other medication or have other health issues. Don’t want to make anything worse.
Taking any vitamin D? Pretty much everyone is vitamin D deficient in the winter months.
i’m thinking about 1000 to 2000 UI daily should get the job done on that side. I don’t see it as a solution, but my family is deficient anyways, I’ll see what it does
Not a solution, of course. Just a component. Vitamin D deficiency has so many symptoms, it needs to be eliminated as a factor before addressing others.
