    Busy and focused on work. Every day I feel exhausted, I’m not going to bed early enough. 😪

      God I feel this so much. The only real free time I get is on train rides to work and back, and even there like 50% of the time I’m flat asleep until I arrive at my stop because I’m sleep deprived.

      I know I’m not the one that should be saying this but by now, after several years of doing this, I can say from experience that sleeping 4 h during the day and crashing for 12 h on the weekend really isn’t healthy…

      Please try to take better care of yourself than I do

        damn, that’s brutal - it sounds you you need to take care of yourself! 🫂

        I started progesterone yesterday and it’s already giving me better sleep, allowing me to sleep a little more deeply and longer than before. I had been having trouble even catching up on sleep on the weekend because I was just doing estrogen monotherapy, I would sleep like 6 hours and the body would wake up and I couldn’t fall asleep, even if I felt tired.

          I hate to admit it but I can’t do much sadly… Most of the sleep issues right now are caused by heat and I can’t really do anything against it (for example installing an AC is literally illegal because of the type of house). (Yes, I’m looking to move again dw)

          But hey, I started E today so maybe that’ll help a little
