I gotta say, I am sleeping 6-7hrs sometimes way more. (Sometimes way less). But my avg is like 5.5 or so. And that's way better than other times of severe stress.
-That stress is getting better obviously, but in certain school situations (long term), it was like 1-4hrs a nite at times, then crashing on sat or sunday for 12hrs.
-and of course, conversely it was far worse --- IN PFS CRASH vs. My Normal / Erratic Life
(in terms of being fatigued, "CFS on steroids" during "PFS-Crash-Days" and until my Extended Fasting.
And I am sure, dosing ella and ru (not together) and microdosing them later, helped bring this to that level. But they are not without issue. I had confusion like up to 6/10 yesterday nite after microdosing in the morning (but slept 4.5 and 5.5. hrs max the last 2 nites). And this was more like 7-8/10 4 months ago (I would say around there).
-I still worked out then and yesterday. Fasted 24h (too extreme, but kind of did for digestion/busy/focused a bit).
-Working out back then with such confusion was probably dangerous, so if that happens to anyone, it would be wise to take it easy, and even just take a few days off if need be.
-I'm sure this will all change as it does for me, but I do wake up without an alarm or hours before at times which is good (but hard to say it will stay like this).
-8 weeks ago, I was setting 20 different alarms (some barely a few hrs, some 4hrs, some 6h from intended sleep time, some like 10h).
-Fasting got rid of so much tiredness too. And restores sleep a bit with short fasts (sometimes, can also make me and others more insomnia-ridden (better than bedridden**).
-Now I can fast 2-3days and still workout on third day but would not recommend this. Seems risky, esp. if you are confused -- so if anyone does that, lift light and for a shorter time.
