Being tired most of the day.
I have sleep apnea, but it's controlled with a CPAP. My numbers are good and I've felt better since I started using it, but I still like I need a nap most of the time.
I exercise, eat right, take vitamins and supplements, but I just can't escape the fatigue.

Money. I got a divorce a few years ago and now I'm paying 1/3 of my income in alimony. Combine that with having taken a lower paying job a year ago. My old job slowed down and I hastily took a defense contractor job so I could pay alimony. Now I have to work a side job just to make what I used to.
I'm trying to land a FANG job which will boost my income enough not to worry about it, but that's tough to do when you're tired all the time.
- DenisM 8y agoAsk your sleep doc about modafinil, it will set you straight wrt excessive sleepiness. Check for anxiety too, that can mess up your sleep.
- 01100011 8y agoGot a supply of armodafinil but I weaned myself off when I got the CPAP. I did OK for a couple months but now I'm sluggish again. I have essential tremor, which is made worse by armodafinil so I'm trying not to rely on it. Good stuff though.
