Edit1: some thoughts based on comments. I was diagnosed with low vitamin D a few months ago but took bills. Maybe a month ago I ran out. I thought getting outside more recently was enough. You all inspired me to be more serious about it. Got my vitamin D3 and b12 pills.

Also, I noticed the two days I felt so tired I slept later and had alcohol too late in the night. One drink but around 12am. I think not just sleep quantity but when I sleep and quality matter.

Will aim to take my pills, not drink after 8-9pm if I drink, and sleep before 11pm.

Thanks for all the advice :)

    I quit smoking entirely and drinking except on special occasions, cut “empty” calories (from drinks and sugar) out of my diet, and adjusted my routines so I’m now forced to walk at least 5 miles a day (usually more) just to get to work and run my errands.

    Basically a 180 degree lifestyle change, but I was lumbering half-asleep towards an early grave, so it had to be done.

    Now I feel wide awake, full of energy and optimistic for the first time in 20 years.
