>>34596982Yep. Depression, boredom, low momentum. Like you I have also come to realize that it's ALL mental. Period. Your brain is really good at tricking you into thinking your body is nearing its limit. So you really have to change your mental game because whatever you're worried about when you think about your sleep quality you‘re probably overthinking it way past the point of rational concerns. Like in agricultural societies they sleep 6-7 hours on avg no brainrot intended and they still do their physical labor. Not to mention the generations before us that thought that a glass of wine per day was healthy. In my experience it's all about dopamine and self-talk. You have to have both high dopamine and unforgiving self-talk. You have to have motivation and discipline. You need both. And you need to find a way to consistently keep up both. Easier said than done.
>>34596982>The fuck, is this what depression is?Honestly, it could be any number of things, including carbon monoxide poisoning. But depression is one possibility.
>>34596982You need more excitement, importance, progression, success, eagerness. Not so much sleep. Live more adventurously if you can. Save gas, cut less grass.
Could be sleep apnea
