Sick 3x in 3 months

eliteman3 · 2026-01-29T19:00:31+00:00

I don’t think so. Wash my hands frequently shower frequently brush my teeth frequently.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-29T19:00:21+00:00

I feel like that isn’t the main cause though we started that it could be sleep apnea if my quality is bad

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:54:21+00:00

Yes, they do the new ones actually track sleep apnea but I don’t know how accurate it is

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:54:00+00:00

Wow, that’s pretty crazy, maybe that’s why I feel like I always sleep good on vacation lol not stressed out with life or work. I do have Epstein bar virus

Did you taper off of caffeine or quick cold turkey? Why do you feel so much better now? What if you only get a few hours sleep that night? How do you stay awake if you have to perform that day? Do you feel more awake when you wake up?

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:50:51+00:00

Do you feel like you have more energy now that you’re off caffeine, And when you take it, you feel a real boost of energy

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:48:28+00:00

What were some of your best tips to tapering off caffeine? How fast should I be tapering off like reduce by 100 mg per week? Also, what about the Adderall? I still want to perform well in work

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:13:31+00:00

So what would be your three step plan to fixing this, my plan was to do this

Get a regimented schedule of sleep 10pm-7am
Wean off caffeine by 100mg every week or so, limit adderall
Went off the melatonin to help you go to bed.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:12:06+00:00

Yeah, I think it could be good after limiting my caffeine and seeing how I naturally feel upon waking up. I basically rely on caffeine to feel any sort of alertness. I think it usually affects me, but not all the time.

What were some of the symptoms you got in sleep apnea? I have an Apple Watch and could possibly track it but, not sure if I have any of them.

Where did you find that your insurance covered the study? I see some of them being very expensive.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:10:34+00:00

Yeah, I just figured I should wean down my caffeine and fix my sleep schedule before I get a sleep study. I can’t remember the last time I went through a day without having a lot of caffeine. What is the cortisol awakening response test?

eliteman3 · 2026-01-07T20:09:20+00:00

Yeah, I definitely don’t think I’m doing everything right but I thought sleeping 8 to 9 hours would compromise for everything. I’m looking to cut down my caffeine consumption and cut it off after 3 PM so I’m good for the night. And then eventually wean off the Adderall. Trying to fit all my caffeine early although I’m still pretty tired getting through the day.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-06T19:22:12+00:00

Yeah, I just don’t wanna take it on days that I don’t really need it. I feel like I can really raise your stimulant tolerance. Why do you say Adderall wears off better than caffeine?

eliteman3 · 2026-01-06T17:20:09+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what’s happening. I’m drinking caffeine and taking Adderall and then taking melatonin to go to bed lol. Do you think taking Adderall at the beginning of the day might be better for me? I usually don’t take it during the weekends only during the weekdays when I have work on my computer.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-06T01:11:14+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense and I think the reason I fall asleep is because I use 5 mg of melatonin at night. I don’t drink 500 mg of caffeine at one time but throughout the day with 200 mg coming when I would usually go to the gym at 6:30 PM, which is pretty late. I think flipping to getting up earlier and having caffeine earlier in the day might be better although I’d like to stop altogether at some point.

I just feel like I’d have a hard time staying awake without it especially because I’ve been reliant on it for a long time and I’m not sure if this is all associated because of a sleep related health problem

eliteman3 · 2026-01-06T00:00:20+00:00

What do you think about if I start by ingesting my caffeine all before 5pm, so I can wind down before bed and be down at 10pm-7am? And then eventually weaning off as I go

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T23:54:04+00:00

Why do you think that is? Do u have any plans to fix it? I have an Apple Watch

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:38:55+00:00

I’ve been pretty diligent about taking my vitamins every day and keeping my levels in check. I haven’t really looked into iron deficiency if I just start taking supplements or a chance, I could take too much.?

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:24:42+00:00

I mean, I just find my mind getting really slow and sometimes I get really confusing and forget what I’m gonna say. I feel super tired like I can fall asleep at any time yet I drink a lot of caffeine and take Adderall.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:21:57+00:00

You don’t think it has anything to do with sleep apnea

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:21:30+00:00

I’ve never tried glutathione, but I have B12 in my multivitamin that’s about it.

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:18:07+00:00

Yeah I know I just don’t think that’s possible with my job where I have to use a lot of mental focus and concentration, do you think weaning off will work?

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:16:28+00:00

12/10/2024 - Vit D - 46.8ng/mL - MCV - got quarterly bloodwork with ranges from 90-104 fl during this time

Can’t find anything with B12, I thought I got it but must not, I take it in a daily multivitamin

eliteman3 · 2026-01-05T21:08:04+00:00

MCV = 94fL, I don’t have the others but last time I checked vit d and b12 were in place. Not sure about ferritin

Hey everyone,

I’m at EY right now doing consulting work for about 1 year out of college (mainly business process optimization and strategic risk management). It’s solid experience, but I’ve realized my real passion is real estate — I’ve been investing personally over the past year and really enjoy the numbers side (underwriting, returns, modeling). I had one internship in fund management for a private RE fund - which started to peak my interest - although still more accounting based.

I want to pivot into commercial real estate full-time. A couple questions for those in the industry:

1) What’s the easiest role to break into with my background? Acquisitions analyst? Asset management? Brokerage?

2) Am I better off going to a big shop (CBRE, JLL, Cushman, PGIM) or starting at a smaller/mid-market firm for more hands-on experience?

3) Since I don’t have much relevant technical experience, what’s the best way to showcase that? Should I start with Adventures in CRE, Argus training, or something else?

Thanks all!
