For months, I told my doctor I was exhausted — crashing by 3 PM every day, relying on coffee just to function, and struggling with constant brain fog.
My labs came back “normal.” My doctor smiled and told me to “try getting more sleep.”
But how could normal feel this bad?
Afternoons where I could barely stay awake. Forgetting simple things. Lying in bed wide awake at night, even though my body was begging for rest.
I started to wonder if maybe it was all in my head.
