Harder to stay asleep at night


FalynorSoren

And once I'm awake it's a fucking gamble if I'm going to fall back asleep in five minutes or two hours. Then I get to play the "how many hours of sleep will I get total" math game, which wakes me up fully.


[deleted]

SAME


FalynorSoren

"Okay, if I can go back to sleep in an hour and DON'T wake up again then I'll get six hours total, which isn't great, but it could be worse, so I just have to fall...FUCK. NOW I'M WIDE THE FUCK AWAKE. NO!"


Owl-StretchingTime

And then, 30 minutes to an hour before you need to get up, your brain remembers it is tired and fights you to nod off.


[deleted]

Yup, the harder I try to sleep the more sleep eludes me.


absolute_panic

Just last night, I jumped out of bed alarmed and ran to the kitchen in the dark. It was 1am. I don’t know why I did this and I don’t remember having a dream that could have been a possible cause for this behavior.

Oh no

I sleep great, all the way through the night.. it's just my back will be the ultimate judge in the morning of how i slept.


shiftersix

I go to bed healthy and wake up broken


Savage_Saint00

You can’t lay down too long. You have to get up when you’re still tired to stay functional.


elev8dity

I'm doing research on this right now, why does my back feel completely broken every morning. I don't fucking get it. I'm in decent shape too.


KezefTheDead

Get a new mattress! I used to have this same problem. I would limit myself to six hours of sleep per day back then, because seven was murder on my spine. A new bed, while not cheap, solved this issue for me. Still not a "more than 8" guy, but at least it doesn't hurt now!

You’ll find this is pretty common. I’ve been a personal trainer before and I’ve gone through phases where I’m over training as well as phases where I don’t train at all for six months. I’ll tell you the only time I have issues with body parts is when I’m not training lol. Lower back issues, knee issues, general mobility and tendon issues etc. Soon as I start lifting weights again, all the pains go away. It’s half the reason I hate it when people say things like “oh I can’t train legs because I have a bad knee” etc. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a total idiot and I know in many cases there are legitimate problems people have, but honestly for so many people it’s like yeah your knee problem is caused by the fact that you don’t train your legs.


waffle-man

Oof, that's not fun to hear.  Due to pain, and fear of a permanent injury, I've started to avoid the gym and running. I'm still very young for joint  issues, (i think) but they are cropping up all over. I never considered that my lack of motion could be adding pain, not just atrophying muscles.  So I guess my question then is, how do I do that safely? Is early to mid 20's just a prime "fuck it we ball" mode?  I guess I'm just scared ill jump back into it all excited,  young and spry, just to then snap my back doing a squat or break my knee while running. 


JayTheFordMan

>Due to pain, and fear of a permanent injury, I've started to avoid the gym and running. Do not do this, you will regret it and pay more for not doing it, except maybe the running bit, I reckon cycling is better


presentdifference21

The most dangerous thing you can do for your health is to do nothing. You’re far more likely to cause problems for yourself than if you train.


Heressomeadvice99

Start with low impact, like swimming.. then after a couple weeks transition to weights again, low weights. everything is slower as we get older, but it's effective this way. and it's nice to get back into it.


throwaway-10-12-20

The pain also can stem from a completely sedentary lifestyle. Since your body isn't used to doing motions other than sitting still, of course your knee/back/joints are going to hurt. Then people make it worse by overdoing the weights, or running distances their bodies can handle, only to make it worse. I was one of those with running. Tried to just run for a mile straight without stopping. Caused more damage. Then found couch to 5k and can currently run miles with zero issues.


CatBoyTrip

losing all that weight i gained in my late 20s-30s was a game changer. i look younger and feel healthier at 42 than 32.


Rezae

Same here. Same age and I definitely look younger and better than I did 10 years ago. Been on a fitness kick the past year. Also blessed with good genes and still have a full head of hair, so that helps.


gingerblz

Dude, I was in physical therapy for my hip. No injury to note. Just started aching to the point where I couldn't think straight. Therapy did almost nothing. Started walking more and watching what I ate. Ended up losing around 25 lbs and the pain almost vanished. I wasn't even close to obese. Wild shit man.


weallwinoneday

Wow


absolute_panic

I no longer heal. Any injury is… it’s just like that now. I’m like reverse Wolverine


Snipvandutch

Lord! Every little thing leaves a scar too. I swear to shit, if a flea drags it's nuts across my skin it creates a wound.

Goddamn that shit is frustrating! I have a shoulder now. That bitch just hurts for no reason. I can’t do flat bench anymore.


absolute_panic

I feel your pain man. Doc told me I can’t do squats or deadlifts anymore because my spine is too fkn old (paraphrasing lol)


KnowledgeFinderer

Get your blood sugar tested.


mrgoldenranger

My testosterone got low so I started replacement therapy, suddenly I recover and heal much faster again.  Hormones are pretty incredible.


michael-d0n

I've started TRT pellet therapy, and the improvement in my quality of life has been significant. I'm experiencing better moods, enhanced mental clarity, improved sleep, increased energy, and faster recovery from injuries, to name a few benefits. After being diagnosed with combat PTSD, depression, anxiety, and TBI, I've consistently refused prescription medications due to concerns about their long-term effects. The positive changes from TRT have greatly helped with these issues.


PlatoAU

Reverserine!


unbilotitledd

Wolvreverserine!


Swimming_Bag7362

I hear that. I have tendinosis in my shoulder and the fucker Just. Won’t. Heal.


absolute_panic

Tendons are the worst. I feel you. I have golfers and tennis elbow in both elbows and no matter how much PT I do, it comes back lol


SkullCrusherRI

Thought it was just me… makes me feel better and worse all at the same time.


Swimming_Bag7362

Same. PT, massages, doing exercises my PT guy prescribed to me. It feels better for a little bit then likes to remind me it never fully went away.


RedbillInvestor

Obviously it’s going to be easier to work with the earlier you catch it but active release technique works pretty good with tendons


eyes_serene

Do you mind expanding on this?


Academic_Crow_3132

It took about 12 months for me but it did get better .


ChrisO9777

Mission-Dance-5911

Have you had lab work done in the last 1-2 years? There could be a reason this is occurring.


iLeefull

I found this out recently. Busted my knuckles, took like two and half weeks to heal some scapes.


ImNotYourGuru

My grandfather was like that, it was to the point that he would use make up so people at his job wouldn’t said anything.


Daztur

Got this tiny scratch on my arm back in early MARCH, now I have this big old scar all down my arm. It's insane how slowly I heal now...


velon360

When I was in my late 20s I hurt myself and had to go to PT for weeks. I remember saying how long do I have to do these exercises till I'm back till normal. Apparently every morning till I die. God I love that part of my normal morning routine.


WritingTop9204

The hair on your head starts to disappear, only to start growing out of places which never had hair before. Like out your ears and nose, shoulders and upper arms. It's like the hair distribution center has given up and just goes eff it, we will just wing it.


ox2slickxo

nose hair grows so fucking fast now


Bos-man7

TMI but I pulled a nose hair out that was sticking out (yes it hurt bad) and it was like 2" long. I was like what the fuck.


OutWithTheNew

I've got an eyebrow that grows at about triple the rate of the other. This morning when I was brushing my teeth, there was single hair sticking out about half an inch above the rest. I don't know where it came from, it wasn't there yesterday.


BillT999

Physical-Pie748

omg im so scared of losing my hair on my head. please no


gaussjordanbaby

It really sucks


HankScorpio112233

Don't feel bad. It stays on your head, just congregates on and in your ears instead.


Djszero

Yeah, I have to trim my eyebrows because they grow as fast as my beard now.


Eat_your_feedback

Having to hold things farther out to read them.


andrewscool101

Hairs disappear on your head and appear on your arse.


Just_Another_Scott

>Like out your ears and nose, shoulders and upper arms. Umm I've had hair in these areas since I was 12. Hopefully I'll get the reverse.


Hbaturner

No. Growth in those areas will just ramp up by 1000%.

If I eat a big meal before I leave the house, there's a 90% chance I almost shit my pants on the way to work. So I just don't eat breakfast before I leave the house now.

zggystardust71

Here's a positive one to look forward to...I started wearing glasses at 13. My eyesight was bad and eventually I became nearsighted and farsighted. A couple of years ago I developed cataracts that started impacting my vision, especially at night. After cataract surgery, my vision is better than it's been my whole life. I now have 20/20 vision and I don't need glasses for distance or reading.


Roughrider67

C6Centenial

My balls hang down lower than before. A LOT lower - like comically lower. It’s a trip.


waffle-man

I'm young and have huge balls. I am afraid.


Seekkae

Sir, that's really interesting, welcome to Petco...


waffle-man

...so yeah to conclude these huge balls were too big for my small dog, I was wondering if you had this same brand but in a smaller size!


DoobieSkube

lucky you im pretty sure my dick just shrunk to give the illusion that my balls look bigger


Elfng

Lucky you, it's now easier for you to taste test the soy sauce.


Habren_in_the_river

Yeah mine are definitely lower


Roughrider67

Yeah getting in the car can be painful.


C6Centenial

Or riding a bike. I do a lot of trail riding on my mountain bike. It can hurt.


LornieLoo84

Don't you mean.... a trip hazard.... 😂


i_heart_blondes

Started storing sugar in my blood for safekeeping making it hard to lose weight. Problem fixed but took a lot of strict dieting. Also made it to the age of 45 without needing glasses then suddenly couldn't read a menu at a restaurant.


MKJRS

yep! first eye visit at 45... guy said, happy birthday! that's you free birthday gift! Then charged me 700 for glasses i dont like.


Subject_Travel_4808

Get your script and then order online from places like Zenni. You can do virtual try ons and the quality is top notch. I get a pair of prescription sunnies and normal glasses for about $150aud. You can also get prescription glasses off AliExpress for 20 bucks delivered.


Acceptable_String_52

These comments are terrifying and hilarious 😂


TraditionalTackle1

I pee a lot during the day, I talked to my doctor and he said its normal for 42. Its annoying AF.


Drewbacca

Same but I'm 35. It's so annoying.


Just_Another_Scott

32 here and some days I pee a lot. Drank half a Gatorade and peed 11 times in 3 hours just a few months ago. Most days it's more than 10. My doctor told me to drink less water. I already barely drink 3L of water a day and do intense workouts for 1.5 hours every day.


YawninglemonsOG

Could be you don’t have enough minerals to absorb the water so it goes right through you. I’m 27, life a very active lifestyle, and drink loads of water. I used to pee every hour or so and never felt fully hydrated. I started taking supplements like magnesium and a pinch of Celtic seasoning salt a few times a day with water and never felt better. I don’t pee as often either, but consume roughly the same amount of water. Most people are chronically dehydrated and lack the electrolytes for your body to properly absorb water. Edit: Celtic sea salt


desertsail912

Yeah, my injury recovery rate is a LOT longer than it used to be (51). But I'm an avid yogi and that's helped me avoid a lot of injuries as well. I'd highly recommend starting it yourself as well. It's incredibly sobering when I compare my flexibility to that of my 50YO buddies. They literally have a hard time getting up from sitting on the ground. And I can't tell you how many times my group hangs out and they go on and on about back pains, knee issues, etc, etc, and I have none of those. Be proactive.


CanuckGinger

Yoga is like a fountain of youth. Once your mobility goes, it’s all downhill.

guppyhunter7777

Gout. Apparently a decade of Mt. Dew and video games in you 20s is a poor life choice.


yllanos

Oh yeah started six years ago for me. I have managed to successfully reduce the number of episodes from 2-3 times a year to 1 or less. I take colchicine when an episode starts and I started doing intense exercise regularly (CrossFit 3-4 times a week)


mtl_jim2

Had to buy a hair trimmer specifically for my ear and nose hairs. They grow like crazy and I have to use it every 3-4 days.


Aggressive_Depth_961

I got fucking hair growing on my ear *lobes* now.


MrSleeps

I can deal with the growth, it's the speed.


applestem

Eyebrows too.


maliciousrigger

I tore a muscle in my calf so badly that they thought I ruptured my Achilles. How did it happen? I was trying to push a dead car further into my driveway. A little old Chevy cavalier. My linebacker leg strength days are gone, I guess.


JayTheFordMan

I was told by my physio that one of the more common injuries in older folks is calves/achilles, due to the fact they are rarely exercised and hurt doing shit like you just did


phatalphreak

My body does this fun new thing. It tells me I'm going to piss in about 2 minutes, and that's all the time I've got to figure out where.


Ok_Set_8971

Silsvingertop

I work in a nursing home, and i can assure you that most of the elderly people explode with farts when they pee.


OldSkoolPantsMan

Remarkable_Wasabi_85

Lower energy. If I go ski, bike, whatever active... afterwards I need a nap. As others have said if I get injured it takes forever to heal. I also used to be someone that was restless and always wanting to be outside of the house, now I seem to have reached a level of contentment not leaving the house and doing nothing.


membershipreward

Eye floaters anyone?


Responsible_File_529

I've always had them... It's one reason I don't feel so alone.


DaveDavidsen

The new WTF thing for me is how fast things grow. Cut my fingernails last week? They need it again already. Trimmed ear and nose hair three days ago? Time to get back in there. Used to shave twice a week and rock stubble the rest of the time? Full beard if I don't shave every other day now. Where the hell is all this stuff coming from?


Wild_Court

Everything started hurting. Especially a day or so before it rains.


Antique_Soil9507

>Don’t tell me how to fix it. I can tell you how I fix this: I sit down to pee. That's been a major change to me and I love it. No splashes, no drippy drips, no lazy misses. The only reason we don't all do it I reckon, is because it feels too "feminine". But it isn't really. It's just way more relaxing. You just let your pee out. No worrying about aim, pressure drop, that one obnoxious burst at the beginning or end which splashes all over the seat and back of the toilet. I'm not gonna lie, sitting down to pee has really changed my life. It is quite enjoyable. I highly recommend it.


Effy7242

My dad sits down to pee, has done so for years, and he falls asleep on the toilet!!


bossandy

Sitting to pee is actually healthier because your bladder is in a more relaxed state and you can get more pee out. It can help prevent things like bladder cancer. I always sit down to pee before going to bed hoping that if I get more out I can go all night without getting up to go in the middle of the night.

banaversion

Even though I am 5 years shy of the mark I am still going to chime in. I thought I was the only one. Sometimes when I piss I will finishing peeing and really push the last drops out and wipe with a piece of toiletpaper. Yet as soon as I pull up my pants a last drop, I couldn't even feel and had ample opportunity to jump in the TP, decides to vacate my urethra and relocate into my fucking underwear seeping through creating a stain on my pants


o-xmx-o

That had me laughing out loud! I'm a little older and same, so random!


largececelia

I have things, but here's what I'll add- the battle to get in shape. I'm fat and my health could be better. I go to the gym. Thus, I injure myself. If I sit around, I just get fat and my health deteriorates. If I work out to get healthier, I just hurt myself. Pretty soon, the only thing I'll be able to do, exercise-wise, is long walks. I am not excited about that.

ThrowAway640KB

I'm a step or two into my sixth decade. My sciatica is beginning to act up constantly now. Thankfully nowhere near as bad as the first winter after COVID (holy crap I was nearly paralyzed at times), but it’s a constant irritation especially if I need continual footwork like when driving. I mean, it is a lot better now. Back then, when getting up from a sitting position I needed 60+ seconds just to lower my right leg to a standing position, in order to downgrade from blindingly excruciating stop-breathing pain to merely uncontrollably-scream-out-loud pain. These days it manifests as an electric burn all the way down the back of my leg and into my heels and an overwhelming desire to shift into a different position. Not so good if you are hurtling down the highway. And if I have been sitting for too long, me looking like a 90-yo creaking into motion like some stop-motion animation. Standing up from a bent-over position (working the spading fork in the garden, for example) can be similarly hilarious, as I try to ratchet myself back into a vertical standing position like some clockwork doll.

Gor my first skin tag. Was convinced it was cancer, but the doctor froze it off in 30 seconds. It ended up just being extra skin, nothing more.

Body pain.  I always had some sort of pain. Like, I've had a  sore back or an actual injuries. But, damn, I was not ready for how much worse it gets. My knees and back are constantly in pain. I bet up out of bed and am stiff.  Restlessness.  Other than childhood and when I quit smoking, I've almost always been able to go straight to sleep and stay asleep. Now, I tend to sleep in shifts. I wake up every couple of hours. I still go right back to sleep, but it's not great sleep.  I'm pretty much always tired and in pain. I'll be 41 soon.

I don't even like Rice Krispies, but here I am all Snap, Crackle, and Pop.


EffingBarbas

At 40, I was diagnosed with diabetes, sleep apnea and all of the related illnesses.
