23rd Effexor Update - Feeling Fair
March 25, 2026··
Ha, did not fall asleep quickly yesterday and only slept 4,5h at first despite feeling so tired, but felt quite awake after waking up. Waited for 3h and then took another good nap for 3h. My watch noted sleep quality was still good, so be it. Did a good round of sport with more reps than usual. Had a gig at evening, was already tired but played well enough.
I‘m glad for not having pressing bad thoughts, i feel all in all more stable and calmer. Excited too see if this holds for longer. Would ne nice if i sleep longer - always had problems falling asleep, this seems to have changed now to continous sleep duration, hope this gets better. So much for now, 1 am now and ready for bed.
