44th Effexor Update - Feeling Fair
April 24, 2026··
9h sleep, yeah! Last 2 days were harsh i did not get awake and was kind of desperate as i had rehearsals, new songs and the gig at the weekend is way bigger than i thought. Despite okey sleep i had hard times keeping my eyes open and my brain functioning. I took the peptide Cerluten and it helped me working straight for a short time and that fact calmed me.
The most infuriating thing is, while on the days i was so unfair sleepy, when i try to sleep at about 0.00am a „party“ starts in my head, running thoughts, ideas, even kind of colorful, switching/rolling sides in bed. And i again needed 2h to fall asleep. Doesn‘t matter as the 9h feel so great, i‘m motivated and excited for rehearsing and excercising today, there is much to do.
Have a great day TP!
