My life and career are destroyed because of frustrating sleep quality
Post Content
I am 32 yr old Male working as Professor in a college, high paying job . I have been strength training since my teen age , healty concious, motivated etc . I already have traumatic childhood, lack of relationship with women , loneliness, frustration to achieve something, lots of work pending, Frustration because I couldn't achieve the quality of relationship and social treatment I want . But for the past 2 years my sleep quantity and quantity are worse most of the days . I go to bed very late because of pending work , researching few things on phone , instagram , youtube etc until late night , I can't resist this due to my hectic schedule. - a) I go to bed late at night at 12.30 am or sometimes even 1 am and awake at 5 am due to randomly or some irritation or sound or urine . Then when I try to fall sleep again I can't sleep , lots of thoughts keep running in my mind I stay awake until 7 am in the bed forcing myself to get into sleep worried , stressed and angry on myself due to this worse sleep condition. I may get sleep again at 7.30 am and I am forced to get up at 8.30 because I have college at 9 am . ( so from 5 am to 7 am literally I Will be tossing and turning and my mind randomly thinks , runs something). -b) most of the days I sleep until 9.30 and lots of loss of pay due to my late morning attendance. - c) I feel drowsy from 2 pm in the afternoon and I get extreme drowsiness at 4 pm or 5 pm due to which I take a nap around this time late and get up at 6. 30 pm. As you can see due to the above issues my entire life is affected and I can't live properly whatever i do is pointless because sleep is crucial and it affects everything including testosterone, stress, concentration, health, muscle strength etc etc . 1. What to do now ? Any drugs or supplements? 2. If I get only 4 hours sleep at night , can I compensate by sleeping 2 hours in the morning from 8am to 10 am or 10 am to 12 am? How and when should I ideally compensate for the sleep deficit at night?
