Thank you for the reply. I think the area of my health most out of whack is my mental health, although I did recently learn that I have a number of allergies and food aversions. Some nights I'd like to go to bed earlier (and often I do get to bed at a decent time), but my wife likes to stay up late because the house is finally quiet with the kids asleep, and sometimes that keeps me up. I'll make a mental note to look into sleep apnea.

I entirely understand where you're coming from. I've always been the one to fall asleep hours before my partner, and it causes friction. I had a bunch of other words here that can really be boiled down to ; there's a very very good chance that something health/physical related is causing or amplifying those mental health balance struggles. I speak from experience, not just rando internet advice :)

Nice to hear I'm not alone here. > I had a bunch of other words here that can really be boiled down to ; there's a very very good chance that something health/physical related is causing or amplifying those mental health balance struggles. I speak from experience, not just rando internet advice :) I believe it. I'm actively trying to improve my health, but results come in the medium-/long-term, and I'm feeling the struggle in the day-to-day.

    It's the process of identifying it that takes time. If it were sleep apnea, especially severe, a few days to a week of change would be enough to elicit a mental health shift. The same generalities probably apply to other subtle health issues that can have 2nd order mental health effects. edit - you're in AB, right next door to me. Go to your GP (and/or find a GP via walk-in by asking for a blood panel / urine test). Have them check for diabetes risks, acth (cortisol) levels re: apnea, and probably a fair few other things that you can at least then check off as invalid.
