Routine. If you do it everyday for a while your body get used to it

Edit: that's what they say

If that were true, I'd actually have gotten used to people telling me "you just need routine", but yet it still annoys me, after all these decades. No offense.

I was in the army. Doesn't get much more routine than that. Didn't do jack shit for the problems. In fact, made them worse. Want to see the several hundred pages of different lab results and doctors statements?

Lol no, I understand completly. I'm medicated now so that's why I able to adapt to routine. Just assumed you were not like me.

Also I was lucky because I changed jobs and i now have a job that somewhat matches my body sleep window.

I've also gone through like all the medications.

What I actually found to help for the first time in my life (been literally complaining about these problems my whole life, GI-issues and sleep mainly, but up to actual seizures a few years ago due to the exhaustion... or smth, no explanation to them either) was a GFCF diet, a gluten- and casein-free diet.

But I have so many other issues now that it wasn't clear to me whether I could do a routine when sticking to that diet. Hopefully. I'm back off it because you have to be on gluten for celiac testing and whatnot.

The only job I could do for longer periods (I was in it for four years) was when we were allowed to freely change our shifts between workers. Because I don't have really any sort of rhythm. So I would do a lot of work but suddenly sometimes I just couldn't sleep and that would just build up.

Then they took away our scheduling, because of overtime hours weren't being attributed correctly and whatnot (we just did the shifts of another person, but even if the hours matched the pay often didn't, as you'd get more from a nightshift than a dayshift), so then I had to quit there as well.

I should've just stuck there to be honest, I'm sure I would've gotten disability by now because they wouldn't have been able to fire me for being sick. But nooo, I had to try to not be a problem.

But yeah if I could tell my kid self my dietary requirements I think my life would look quite different.
