There was a time when I thought I was just tired. But as a man over 40, I realized my constant need to sleep was more emotional than physical β and it was time to face it.

There was a time when I thought I was just tired. But as a man over 40, I realized my constant need to sleep was more emotional than physical β and it was time to face it.
and then
Looking back, I didnβt even realize I was depressed. I just thought I was lazy or burned out. Iβd sleep all weekend, then feel guilty and nap again. A therapist helped me realize it wasnβt just tiredness β it was emotional exhaustion. Men in our age group are taught to tough it out, but that doesn’t work. Getting help isnβt weakness. Therapy, light exercise, and talking to friends made a huge difference. My sleep and mood both improved.
