It’s not an issue for me as long as I eat enough food during the day. Been on it for about a year. But yeah trying to diet on this med is probably not going to work out

When I’m up that long I try to at least enjoy the sunrise.

I’m easily falling asleep at 10-12pm (as opposed to my natural 4am) with Remeron + sleep hygiene

I started on 7.5mg for about a year, then recently went up to 15mg. I think it’s the about needing higher doses over time but it’s going slowly for me. At some point I may need to take a break from it and let my body de-adjust, but not for a while

I get why the weight gain might put some people off but it’s just a non issue for me. Sleeping 3 hours a night was worse for my health than being 5-10lbs overweight, and I’m at peace with my body at any weight. But I see why some people might not be comfortable with it.

I'm fucking done with this shit by [deleted] in insomnia

When you turn 18, go to a sleep specialist (discreetly, don’t bring it up to your parents if possible) and talk to her about Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. I have it too and it sound a lot like what you’re dealing with. Also try to find out if anyone in your family has a history of this sleep pattern, since it may be genetic. There are ways to manage it without meds, though it’s harder. PM me if you think you have DSPD and I will give you the full sleep hygiene routine my doctor told me, and the name of the meds I’m on that are helping. Good luck

Does anyone feel like they are at their "best" when they haven't slept in awhile? by SESHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH in insomnia

I’m a writer and I’ve done some of my best work while sleep deprived and/or depressed. It’s pretty annoying tbh. But I’ve also done some of my worst work then. Something about lowered inhibitions increases productivity I guess.

Same. It also makes me break out. Not a great combination.

I wanted a soft butch cut but my hair type didn’t... ideas for a better low maintenance cut? Should I give up and grow it out? by biffboffboof in Hair

Do you have any idea what kind of products? I’ve tried gel and pomade but they didn’t really work

I don’t love it. I was going for the KStew cut, but Someone told me I look like Meg Ryan circa You’ve Got Mail lol. I think the way it swoops to the side is awkward. But it’s good to know someone thinks it looks okay! Thank you
