At 45, I never thought I’d be the guy who needed 10 hours of sleep just to function. But when it became my daily routine, I had to ask myself — is this normal, or a sign something’s off?

and then
I used to think I was just catching up on lost sleep, but it became my new normal. My friends were up at 6 AM, and I was dragging myself out of bed at 10. What helped was seeing a doctor — they ran blood tests and found a vitamin D deficiency and low iron. I also had mild depression I didn’t recognize. It’s not always laziness; sometimes your body is begging you to check in. You’re not alone, and it’s fixable.
