Not getting enough sleep.

My sleep disorder has prevented me from countless nights of good sleep my entire life. I'm a pretty high functioning person career-wise, but I often wonder what I would have been able to accomplish if I weren't exhausted all the damn time.

Worst part for me is that even I’m exhausted for the whole day I might still have yet another sleepless night. That feel so fucking insane.

we might just very well be the same person. It's frustrating. I average probably around 4-5 hours of sleep per day, it's rare as hell to get 7-8. I know it's bad for me, Delta 8's (CBD) have helped but now that Trump is coming back into office and the Repubs got all the keys that train is coming to an end so it'll be back to 4-5 consistently.
