I guess vampire, because I don't like the sun anyway, and at least I wouldn't have a day every month where I am not myself and can't control my actions... That's indeed a tough one though.

Would you rather have to endure a day hanging out with Logan Paul or Jake Paul (lol sorry, i just watched Shane Dawson's deep dive on the brothers)

@erebus: I can't wait for them to put out more. It's probably my favorite as far as how detailed they get - I realize that makes me sound morbid but I am a huge fan of like, deep dives into subjects, yanno?

They have a really excellent episode early on about the Amity Horror House - I was hooked by that episode, haha!

Oh woahhhh I have not heard that! I am absolutely going to look that up, thank you!

@erebus: YAAAAS another murderino haha! I listened to Small Town Dicks first because I heard about it on the radio - that one is honestly so chilling, since they have the detectives that worked the case there talking with them.

I think you'd like ATWWD as well if you like MFM, it's pretty silly. <333

Small Town Dicks
And That's Why We Drink
My Favorite Murder

(All three above are true crime... lol. And ATWWD has paranormal, too.)

I also like these ones by Youtubers:

Very Really Good (Kurtis Conner)
SleepyCast/SleepyCabin (This one is by Oney/PsychicPebbles/Spazzkid/RicePirate/etc so their humor is dark and really inappropriate, so it's not for everyone - also occasionally a bit offensive...)

And,

The Woody Show (This one is actually a daily radio show, but they put out their thing in podcast form. I love em. Super weird.)

I don't understand how I can sleep like a brick and yet still wake up as tired as I was when I went to bed. All I want to do is sleep. And play video games. But mostly sleep.

My dear, I hope you find peace. I want to tell you that things will get better, but I know that it is almost impossible to see through the dark that you're in. Even though I do not know you, I'm glad you were given another chance. I have so many friends that are in your boat, and I know someone that took their own life not long ago. Let the people around you be selfish - I'm sure there are many people whose lives would be much dimmer without you. Don't be afraid to lean on others in your hard times. And it may not be much, but us on Voltra are always here to listen. These words could be meaningless to you, but I sincerely hope that your demons quiet.

I'm so sorry you've been through so much. koneko is right - you are amazingly strong.

Ah, yeah that is a common thing people say when they are against abortion, they'll say abstinence is the best birth control, which personally I believe to be very ignorant. Sex will happen anyway - it's better to teach safe sex practices and provide birth control.

I totally feel you on the "eww affection" level, my brain does the same thing. However, there's nothing wrong with setting boundaries. I don't like to be touched much and my best friends know this (i do like hugs though), but they have come to understand this about me and respect my boundaries, even though they are very touch driven themselves. If they are a good friend they will understand <3

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Makes me realize that there really are a whole laundry list of reasons and ways that sleep can be affected. It's so crazy. I think I kind of messed up my sleep schedule on top of it all, which definitely didn't help.

I'm hoping it's either just because I apparently have a SUPER small airway, causing lots of snoring. Though I don't like the idea of having to use a CPAP machine. They're kinda loud and I like to sleep on my sides. I feel like I snore more on my back. Dunno. But I have a doc appt tomorrow and I gotta look into the sleep test I suppose. I'm kinda spooked about it tbh.

Wildfire, That's a good point. My hormones def are whacked, but I'm on BC now which has been helping; I wouldn't be surprised if I needed vitamins too, haha. Maybe I should sign up for that like vitamin delivery service - they're usually so expensive so I didn't buy any the last time I was suggested a specific one (by my doc), though she said it was mostly a small lack, nothing major.

Lina, thank you! I usually sleep like a rock, but it's the quality of it that's lost. It feels like most days, (3-4 a week) I'm exhausted all day even though I slept 9 hours (I tried lessening to 7 and 8 in case I was oversleeping, didn't help). I have to double check with my insurance but it does seem like a study will be my best bet. It's been like this for years, and didn't go away with adulthood/being done with college, so it's worth looking into so I can hopefully fix it and not live my life forever like this, haha. Insomnia is really rough - I'm glad you were able to mostly get to a better place on that!

Priestess, That makes total sense. The first few nights I tried CBD oil, I slept really well. Unfortunately it doesn't always work.

Shark, I'm not sure if I do have sleep apnea, like I feel like my breathing is consistent through the night - I never wake up with gasping for air or anything like that (save for a few times several years ago) , but I feel like I do show other symptoms of it... So def possible

Glume, No that totally makes sense. Sometimes it can be easy to self diagnose at times like that. I hope it gets better for you! That sounds really rough. ;-; I'm def gonna get one but im kinda dreading it OTL

My doctor said I need a sleep test. Worried about the cost.

I apparently have a SUPER small airway, so I snore and snore all night. It's possible that that is causing me to have awful sleep. I told her I suspect that I get too much REM sleep because my dreams are extremely vivid and feel like they last all night.

Most days are pretty ok. Days like today are really frustrating because I am so exhausted. And at work. So I can't do anything about it except for guzzle some coffee.

On a new depression med that might help too. We'll see.

Not sure why I am making a post about this, but I guess I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? How'd you get through it?

Two of my friends lost friends to depression this year. I haven't known what to do rather than be there for them... No matter the circumstance, it's so tragic. I wish you, your family, and their family some semblance of peace in the coming times. Eventually life will go on, but those lost will always be remembered and cherished.

Remember to take rests when you can - nothing is more exhausting than mental pain.
