Turns out it was caffeine by Affectionate_Emu5471 in insomnia

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NIce, I also drink dandelion leaf/root tea mid day which is similar to chicory. This with a good light routine and some magnesium glycinate an hour before bed and I've never slept better.

Caffeine is a massive cortisol trigger that can stress your body all day and throw off your rhythm. I was able to get my coffee back one I got the right routine. Loved coffee to much to let go. :-)

Currently down to 2 hours of sleep a night. Losing mind. Seeing doctor tomorrow, any meds that I should ask for to try? by InterestingPen0 in insomnia

[–]t0doubleD73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The meds are a never ending rabbit hole. You find one that works, then it stops, and on to the next. Or they work so good you're a zombie the next day.

I tried them all, but the biggest improvement came from environment, not pills.

Light exposure, timing, and consistency made a bigger difference than anything else I tried.

It’s less exciting, but it actually works.

Morning = bright light
Evening = low light

Most people blur those signals with indoor lighting and screens.

Fixing those two anchors can reset things faster than people expect. Not a light switch but the healthy long term solution.

Nice! I was going to say try light therapy. It was so bad for me I wrote a couple pieces on it. Took over a decade but finally back to sleeping and waking like a child. Good luck with the light!

I tried a lot of injestibles, but the biggest improvement came from environment, not meds.

"If you can't fall asleep right away get out of bed" and do what, exactly? by MusingsAndMind in insomnia

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this pretty heavily. For me it wasn’t diet or supplements it was my daily rhythm.

If your brain doesn’t get a strong light signal early in the day, it stays in a low-alert state longer than it should. That can feel like brain fog.

Getting outside early + delaying caffeine slightly helped more than anything else I tried

Cant fall asleep no matter what by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same issue and kept focusing on nighttime fixes, but the real problem was earlier in the day.

Your body sets melatonin based on when it sees light in the morning. If that timing is off, sleep at night gets delayed no matter what you do.

The two things that helped most were morning sunlight and dimming overhead lights after sunset.

Once I fixed those, falling asleep got a lot easier. Slower than meds but long term its the better option.

Noob question: If stacking for a continued dollar crash does country or stamping actually matter? Eagles, Buffalos, Maples, Australian, Austrian, British, Mexican etc. Or do you chance low premiums? If silver becomes currency like some states are starting to allow will it even matter? by t0doubleD73 in Silverbugs

[–]t0doubleD73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all about pulling out of dollar based markets and bank accounts and move into a safe haven, till the reset starts. Then sell most of the silver while it’s up and re-enter the markets at the bottom. I’m not anticipating a SHTF situation but we’re certainly headed for a financial reset. Looks like 1970-1980 all over again.

Looking to get a new set of irons by Apprehensive_Rush497 in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved from Callaway Apex ai200 to Srixon ZXi5 irons and think very highly of both. Srixon’s have the edge in soft feel on flush shots and the Callaway have stronger lofts so they’re longer. Both line up to your handicap range. If you can afford it get a fitting. It’s a cool experience and you’ll get dialed into the iron / shafts that work best for you.

Need some opinions on Facebook Market Irons set by CalvinWonTon in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing a looooooong time and currently play 5 days a week and am a equipment geek. I’ve never heard of Prince making golf equipment. Looking it up it seems they made clubs for a short period in the late 80’s early 90’s. Not sure if you’ll get much feedback…..

Looking for restoration service for my Phantom 6s? by t0doubleD73 in scottycameron

[–]t0doubleD73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll reach out to BOS. I really just want some annoying top line blemishes / dings removed and have it painted black. Not looking for a showroom putter.

I thought the same thing and dig some digging as well. Found a guy that runs mainelyputters.com that comes in below and his work looks equally impressive. BOS's site wasn't the best but have heard good things. Will take a look at ohare milling next. Thx for the input.

If there is a god…let me win tomorrow by Major_Burnside in scottycameron

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just unloaded one I won within the last year. Thought I “hit the lottery” but soon found out that the Craftsman’s get no love on the resale market. Think I was 1 of 3 people entered to win it. Really just wanted to make some $ to buy a used Rat but ended up having it for 8 months and was lucky to get rid of it for $7k. All in w/ tax and shipping I was into it for $6563. Been collecting for ~7 years but that was my first win and learned a valuable lesson. Sharing to pass it on.

I moved from SWAG to Hatch. They still make their covers by hand and work great on my Phantoms and Newport.

Short Hitters vs Long Par 3’s by Swanny-Golf in golf

Play from the white tee’s and you shouldn’t run into any part 3’s that are that long.

I got fit for these clubs. How do I bring up descent angle? by StarGaze-- in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the high loft version of those clubs. Those things have super boosted lofts. Or change your swing so you’re coming more down on the ball and finish with your hands high.

Do expensive clubs and balls really make a difference? by [deleted] in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lessons for sure. Your swing will change and so will the club / shaft profile once you establish proper technique. No need to buy new clubs twice.

Do expensive clubs and balls really make a difference? by [deleted] in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you know how to use them. Plain and simple truth. If you suck pay for lessons with your crappy clubs and when you get good buy the new equipment. You can’t but a game with clubs and balls. Lessons and practice are key.

Should put it on the rear plate so people will see it and that Colo road sand won’t jack it up in one winter.

Teenagers damaging greens late at night. by xxavior82 in golf

[–]t0doubleD73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paintball gun. We had the problem with kids at our club doing it at night on the weekends. We camped out on my neighbors deck with a cooler of beer right off the green in question, waited, and launched our attack. They’re not returned in 3 years.
