Endless struggle

  Old fart here. (49)

  Trust me. It gets worse. If I don’t drink water before bed, I will have a major headache when I wake up due to dehydration. If I do, I won’t sleep through the night, as I’ll be waking up 2 to 3 hours before I need to.

  And that’s if I’m lucky. If I’m unlucky, it’s less than 2 hours before, which makes it impossible to go back to sleep and not sleep right through an alarm.

  Now I know why old men are typically so grumpy. Everything fucking hurts, and you don’t get enough sleep.

    Hello fellow 49-er! Just a fyi, if this just started out of the blue one day, get your heart checked. I had the same for about a year, but after a heart attack early last year I can sleep trough the night again. I still wake up occasionally to piss, but not every night anymore.

      Heart’s fine. Just a little HBP and HC which I’m medicated for. There’s a slight murmur, but no real concerns at this time. Former trucker who didn’t go to a quack for his required 2yr medical checks. :)

  I go to the bathroom with my eyes purposely half closed hoping I won’t get fully awake and I can fall asleep again quickly.

    Get some programmable RGB lights and switch them to red when going to the toilet. This helps avoiding triggering your M- and S-cones too much and your brain remains in a sleep-ready stage.

      That, or even more low-tech: just any old tiny, tiny source of light. Given how sensitive eyes are at night, even things like the status LED of whatever electronic device one picks up may provide one with more than enough light.

  Just use a piss bottle. But make sure it’s closed tight afterwards.

    I just had a compound fracture to my Tibia and fibia so getting up if a bitch. But God. It’s going to be a long hard road to me giving up this urinal bottle.

      I’m sorry. But at least you have a bottle to relieve yourself.

    A !chronicillness@lemmy.world can also have some upsides.

  …I mean, I really hated my time in the hospital but that was the single thing that was genuinely nice when waking up in the middle of the night. Not having to go anywhere.
