I was tired because I fell asleep reading my phone half sitting up in bed at about 2am and woke up in the same position somehow without agony

on one hand farmers have turned what would be nice native land into a large messy cricket field which is bad but on the other hand we need them to survive thankfully we will all be saved from farmers ravaging the land when we go communist because apparently everyone just wants to organise spaces and no one actually wants to do anything menial, saving us from the farmer

there are three phenomenon that probably all occur but a lot of people assume it’s only the first one carb crashes large meals most people get mid arvo energy slump anyway (siesta cultures obv worked this out centuries ago and embrace it rather than push thru it) there’s a hypothesis that large amounts of carbs mean your body then has to dump a lot of insulin in the body which can lower blood sugars and blah blah there’s probably something in here because carbs defo do this to a lot of people, but the effect isn’t as strong or simple as anti-carb people will say also large meals in of themselves put the body into a rest and digest mode where energy is diverted to the GI system to digest food and it’s kind of your bodies cycle (you can easily see this in large predator animals that embody the feast/famine dichotomy) so even large low-carb meals can make ya tired less carbs is usually always better in general unless you’re training for something and smaller meals might be necessary to avoid the tiredness regardless also you got family history of diabetes? coz i get those energy crashes worse than anyone else I know and I can look back at my pre-diagnosed days and remember feeling SOOOO exhausted - not tired - at that time of the day

akadajet posted:I can’t even fall asleep if I drink too much. it’s just tossing and turning you release cortisol to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol but this can last longer than being drunk so lying there, in the morning, hungover as heck, and the stress hormone is pumping thru your veins. you went to bed at 2am and it’s now 5:30am and why the gently caress can’t I sleep it’s going to be a long day

Poopernickel posted:Yes to both. Does that stuff really work? What kind of dosage do I want? melatonin can often help but ultimately depends on why someone isn’t sleeping well same with magnesium. it’s an essential ingredient to a good sleep, but by itself isn’t a sleep aid give some melatonin a shot. its definitely a better approach than sedating antihistamines

Roosevelt posted:magnesium will give you the shits, too only if you do it wrong magnesium is always present as a salt and the other ion matters, some tend to cause constipation, others can tend to cause loose bowels, some have better absorption than others.. a good magnesium supplement will be a good blend of salts that minimise side effects most of the time with most supplements you can easily compare value for money and just get the cheapest but with magnesium you sorta gotta get the good ones apparently magnesium threonate is very good but we don’t have it here so don’t know so much about it

reminder that magnesium is an essential ingredient to sleep it doesn’t make you sleepy but you can’t sleep well without magnesium. it’s always the first thing to address if you’re not sleeping well some will act like a laxative - don’t get that one

Silver Alicorn posted:i'm probably low on most things the effect from low iron - mild anaemia - isn’t so much tiredness but exhaustion. doesn’t matter how much you sleep, there’s just no gas in the tank.

it’s a pain in the rear end to supplement, maybe literally since it causes constipation, but it may be worth finding a solution
