Is that the anti-EMF case? I keep airplane mode for the radiation.
sounds like its the CPAP/sleep apnea issue. I had a friend who wore the CPAP mask and he was always complaining how tired he was. I dont know how anyone can sleep with a mask on all night. Wonder if there is some exercises you can do to strengthen your muscles in your throat. Are you overweight? that would be a cause too
What does an optimal sleep cycle look like?Here's a screenshot.
Few questions:Maybe maybe not. I can say conclusively though, that:
Before I got CPAP, I did have a few periods in my life where I had good sleep and could feel refreshed on a "normal" amount of sleep. These were rare still, but did happen. I was having the chronic fatigue problems starting BEFORE I got CPAP though, and I would say it's neither worse nor better since getting CPAP, so can't really say that it's the CPAP really...
I have yet to have good rest since getting CPAP for the most part. That said, I'm mostly used to the mask (though it still annoys me, I can sleep with it now).
I'm not excessively overweight, at least in terms of being fat. In terms of BMI, you could say I'm overweight though. 200 lbs at 6'0" is "overweight" even though I have a decent muscle base. I think even muscle mass can contribute to apnea though.
Unfortunately, there is basically no cure for Apnea except for CPAP that works with 100% efficacy. Surgery (not really a fan of that) is an option that may or may not work, mouth braces (limited efficacy), or losing weight (I do have some fat to lose, which I'm really struggling with, because I refuse to harshly restrict calories again, I have been hoping the fat will come off naturally when I get this Peat'ing thing down... Restricting calories is what has screwed me over in the past, and since I already had cortisol problems, the last thing I need to do is put my body through this stressor...)
This is more or less what my first nights look like, I have not been waking up feeling refreshedHere's a screenshot.
I tried this app last night, on a 30 day trial. I thought I was sleeping soundly, but it shows me sleeping light all throughout. I had no deep sleep at all. Really? How would it know?Sleep Cycle alarm clock
Check the quality of your sleep with this app, you could be sleeping a lot less than you think. I want to scream from the rooftops how good this app is, I don't know what kind of code wizardry they use but the microphone works so much better than any kind of accelerometer. The curves are perfectly in agreement with what I remember from my sleep, and not once has the app waked me up during deep sleep (it waits until you are in light sleep to sound the alarm clock).

It cost $30/year. Worth it if it can lead me back to deep sleep mode. Just have to know how it knows I'm in deep sleep or not just on the basis of what the mic hears.
I didn't know there is reduced feature free mode. I doubt my cat interfered with my sleep and the only noise is the hum of the AC.I guess it works out what state of sleep you are in by the amount you are moving around in bed, are people very still in deep sleep? There are flaws to this, that outside or background noise going on long enough could interfere with the graph.
As far as I know you don't need to spend $30 unless you want the extras which I'm not sure I'm bothered about having briefly looked over them.
It's not so bad, and there aren't signs of app malfunction. You can begin to see the peak at 4:30 and the one 90 minutes later and the third one as well. However ideally it looks something like this:Here's a screenshot.
It turns out I was on accelerometer mode. I was probably moving around too much, and that may have been interpreted (possibly correctly) as light sleep. I've switched to mic mode. I hope it shows better sleep quality (I think it will - my graph was really bad. It barely dipped below waking throughout). I thought I woke up refreshed, but it's very subjective so I hope the app can put some objectivity to it.I tried this app last night, on a 30 day trial.

I suspect that requiring too much sleep is a sign too much excitatory neurotransmission in your brain. The more dopamine, GABA, CO2, and progesterone you have in your brain, and the less serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, and estrogen, the less sleep you'll need because you'll just never get fatigued. But when you do sleep, the sleep will be extremely rejuvenating and deep.
Even since starting Peat
Been doing Peat for around 4 days now (so still kinda new).
Liver, oysters, maybe green broths?Doing the standard, OJ,milk/cheese,eggs,honey,fruit, etc, sweet potatoes in the evening to keep my stomach full.
Have you read up on CO2 and hyperventilation? Do you breath with your mouth shut when you are awake? Have you ever tried doing it while asleep without the CPAP? I imagine you might want someone watching you for safety at least the first time you tried this, if you've been relying on the CPAP for a while.It's worth noting too that I have moderate sleep apnea, but I wear a CPAP and my machine tracks Apnea events etc - ever since wearing CPAP, almost all apnea events have cleared (I have a machine that tracks a lot of data, I think I'm down to something like maybe 2 apnea events per hour instead of the 28-29 I had prior to CPAP) so I doubt that's the issue. It IS possible however that simple wearing the mask is a distraction (I do often have to fiddle with my stupid mask to make it comfortable), but I'm mostly used to it now after having worn it for months. I might switch to the over the nose only version instead of the over the whole face (which is what I use now) just because I think it'd be less invasive/annoying.
Have you had blood sugars tested? Was much of this in the form of refined sucrose (ie without minerals and vitamins)?I had 840g carbs yesterday... Literally the whole day I was constantly either drinking sugary drinks or munching on fruit. I would go a max of 30 minutes without eating or drinking something. I'm a mess I think lol. Basically need an IV machine to constantly pump me with sugar...
This can be good.eating liver once a week
I think some people resolve it with mechanical support to keep their mouth shut while sleeping, and other tactics to address breathing patterns to reduce chronic hyperventilation. The open mouth tends to cause chronic hyperventilation, which typically worse at night, and can cause all sorts of trouble. No guarantee it would resolve your issue, but if you haven't tried it, it might be worth giving it a go. There are easy, relatively low-stress ways to try it out, using either a chin strap (which you may already have?) or a little tape.Unfortunately, there is basically no cure for Apnea except for CPAP that works with 100% efficacy.
I have no idea how we could test these but I've also been suspecting some mechanism like this, I also have this grogginess problem and "double hit sleep".I wake up tired, because cortisol is sky high, and adrenaline low from being overworked the whole night. Low adrenaline + high cortisol = groggy and not wanting to get out of bed.

Are these all foods that you used to eat before, and you don't have particular personal intolerances to?

Personally, I did not find it satisfying to try to run on sugar as my only carbs - I'd keep craving more till I had some starchier food.
Not sure what your history is. There might be reasons why you'd want that much.
This can be good.
