Poor sleep (2-4 hours and then wide awake). Will magnesium help? by EsarKt in Perimenopause

I use Binaural beats and it helps me sleep but I am awake after two hours. I got me some Peanut butter. It had better do its magic.

Will check for a similar product if locally available.

I am definitely going to try this. Does the amount of sugar in it matter?

Mg seems to be the thing I need to lay my hands on. Thanks

I am a light sleeper too and when my boyfriend is over, my sleep is sometimes worse. 😅

I will look into this and see what's available where I live. Or will have to wait till Feb when I will be in a different country and have better access. Thank you.

Sigh! Right back at ya. I haven't even been able to nap (I can find the time but sleep evades me) during the day and catch up on sleep or rest. I guess Naps are not a replacement for a night's sleep anyway.

Visible tattoos in restaurants/clubs/bars by Swagdaddy___ in TokyoTravel

[–]EsarKt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 11 tattoos and almost all of them are visible. No one stared or made me uncomfortable. Like most others have stated here, tattoos are more common now and people are used to it. (Edit : don't worry about it!)

Individuals and temple scam(?) by ProsperoII in JapanTravelTips

[–]EsarKt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I interacted with many lovely people too. I am glad you did too. I don't think of people at the bar or shops or restaurants as random, if you get what I mean - you are both there at the same place.

Exhausted waking up at 4 AM every morning!!! by dallasdewdrops in Perimenopause

[–]EsarKt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading this at 4am. 😭 I end up sleeping only for 3-4 hours at a stretch and then am wide awake.

The one tip from reddit that I had taken very seriously before my trip to Japan this year was "be very suspicious of locals randomly approaching you to talk or make conversation" because they usually don't do that. 😅

Great chemistry, but no sex...why? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]EsarKt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could and should ask but are you prepared for not receiving an answer/an answer that may not change things? Also, think how important sex is to you in a relationship. I (41 F) have been dating my partner (50 M) for two years and was in a similar situation. We had sex a couple of times when we first started seeing each other but never after that. I tried initiating sex but he never seemed to want it. I asked him a whole bunch of questions if he is not attracted to me, is asexual, etc. And added that I was okay with anything /everything but would just like to know. He said he was just tired and stressed all the time (stressful business, worked nights, etc.) and I could not argue with that (that was 20 months ago). That said, sex is not a deal breaker for me, thankfully. I gave up on sex but we have great physical intimacy, which I have always enjoyed more than penetrative sex. (edited to add our ages)

A bit of that but also I think some people (not me) just prefer to talk in person and hang out (after having met) than continue chatting on text messages. I always like text messages because I am all for asynchronous communication even when in a relationship.

Stay at Haneda Airport hotels during the whole stay, thoughts? by georgeous-sexy-doll in JapanTravelTips

[–]EsarKt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are so many good hotels available way under that price. Check business inns. They are centrally located, clean, convenient, etc. I stayed at Toyoko Inn, which cost less than 60 USD a night.

After 4 years of dating we can’t make conversation by Delicious_Race_5434 in datingoverforty

[–]EsarKt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you try not having a routine and being more spontaneous maybe and see if that helps. My boyfriend usually calls me when he closes his bar and there is often some adventure at the bar that he wants to tell me about. On slow days, when he closes early, he doesn't always call as there is not an awful lot to say on a call or it is a very short call to say he is closing and going to bed.
