So, I have been having these massive afternoon nap attacks. Like big 2-3hr sleeps. And I have been trying to figure out what's wrong with how I am dosing cannabis, or fallout from other meds, or...?

And ya know what? It's just that space between wrecked and functioning. It's called "rest" and "healing." 🤦‍♀️

I am not in pain, my brain is not urk! with inflammation, so the poor thing shuts down to remap and heal, after being through some shit.

@vlrny me too!
I get up late anyway & then it just hits me!
I have to go lay down & when I do I go right to sleep for like 2-3 hours.
Bettet than a few years ago when I barely got out of bed due to depression.
I just stay grateful for the hours I’m engaged & productive during the day

@RiaResists Same here. It isn't the sluggy of depression, I sleep well at night, get up and function for a few hrs, then my brain says Done! and switches off. I have a big sleep then am quiet and chill but comfortable the rest of the day. Some days, like today, there's a post-nap boon and I can still make words and interact with humans a bit. Small victories.
