buddy i get like 10+ hours of sleep, it does jack shit.

Oversleeping can cause fatigue as well

yeah but how do i get out of bed when it physically hurts to even think about moving my pinky finger in the morning? i have to sleep like 10 hours for that to go away.

That sounds like another issue that I am unqualified to diagnose, you might want to speak to a qualified doctor about that.

How about we stop pretending that “well rested” actually exist?

It does exist, it's just not the easiest thing to achieve, especially with what is expected of most people for work.

It is also a constantly moving goalpost that our body never quite figures out. Some days 7 hours of sleep is fine, others you need 10, and your body is really bad at telling you which days need certain amounts of rest.

In my experience, keeping a steady pattern both weekdays and weekends helps to that end. That's easier said than done, though.

Do you need a multivitamin? B complex? Helped me

i mean i doubt it since my diet is very varied and contains a lot of both meat and veggies, but i guess i might as well try it.

Maybe schedule an annual checkup and have them do some bloodwork. You never know but it helps to catch things sooner

have had bloodwork and basic heart/breath check done as part of another investigation and i'm like exactly in the middle of the range of healthy values.

Do you exercise regularly? Some light cardio in the morning really helps me throught the day.

i guess i'll have to try forcing myself to do that, problem is that it takes me hours for the bone-deep lethargy to bleed away, and before that i can only just about haul myself into my computer chair

Yea i know that feeling its tough to push past forsure, if i ever find a way past that ill let you know lol
