| >The older I get the more sensitive to a single poor night's sleep I become. Back when I was 20 I had a drinking problem. One time I drank so much that I passed out sitting at a table. Woke up with friends having stripped my clothes and washed them.
I woke up at 9AM, feeling 100% sober, just anxious about my 20 missed calls from my mom.
I got a bit drunk at about 33 and next day I thought I was dying. That's how I learnt what hangovers were. Again, at around 25, I helped my brother in-law move bee hives all night, including some 8 hours of driving. Went straight to work and in the evening I had dinner with my wife at a restaurant. Now I crash in bed at 9PM and if I'm lucky, I also sleep (but quite often I wake up at 2AM). Getting old(er) sucks, and I'm only 42 and I miss so much how nice being in my 20 something body felt all the time. |
Like you, I have much less youthful buffer that shrugs off poor sleep or overindulgence, but I have much more knowledge and much better habits.
Daily habits: better nutrition (based on Bryan Johnson’s super veggie and nutty pudding), stretching, weak points warmup, proper oral hygiene, regular bedtime
Weekly habits: 4x gym, 3x run, 2x weighted walk
I have used ChatGPT to work out a program that is helping me to overcome injuries and niggles while building strength and cardio. I’m 3 months into my latest training schedule, and it’s unreasonably effective.
