I never have a good sleep and I'm always tired during the day.

@ridethelightning milk on its own, not combined with sugar/honey, can be ok/"good" for some people, it can still increase tendency to lying down and/or procrastination. Honey/sugar is generally depleting, the less the better in most cases, ripe fruits much much better. Whole milk, can be much better than skimmed, raw and fresh can be better than pasteurized. do your teeths feel strong or sensitive, white opaque or yellower more translucent, some degree of hard dental plaque or none? Can you expend on your skin symptoms?
@LucH procrastinate mean delaying what you "want" or "have" to do now for later, lack of spontaneous movement/action, " flemme"

@ridethelightning In what position are you usually sleeping? Are you often sleeping on your back? Are you snoring / choking? Have you tried monitoring your sleep with an app that can detect snoring? What you are describing sounds like textbook symptoms of sleep apnea

OK, good to mention.
For me, procrastination = delay + bad mood and absence of satisfaction
When procrastination is linked to a bad mood—often the case in an insidious way—they form a vicious cycle rooted in emotion regulation: avoidance offers immediate relief but subsequently leads to some guilt and “weak stress”, possibly intensifying feelings of distress or no-satisfaction.
The trap of the "I'll deal with it tomorrow" mindset is that we think we are dodging the unpleasant task and the associated “stress”, when in reality, we are merely changing their nature.
Even without panicking, putting things off creates a sort of negative background noise in one's mind. It is a form of transient micro-anxiety. The brain knows the task is waiting, maintaining a low-level, an unconscious state, subtly dragging down one's mood. What I call negative waves. Except if you smoke marijuana to get rid of these waves.
Temporary effect + habituation.
And when the time comes to get moving, there is a reinforcing effect: the body releases a small surge of adrenaline—just the boost needed to shake off the lethargy.
In short, it’s no major crisis, but a sense of comfort marred by a hormonal cocktail dispensed in dribs and drabs. The body ought to be able to overcome these inconveniences, provided the metabolism isn't walking a tightrope (in terms of hormonal balance and regulation). -
@BearWithMe I sleep on both my right and left side. Because I have a deviated septum, I have to breathe through my mouth during the night. The strange thing is that around 8 hours of sleep used to be enough for me. As my thyroid function got worse, my sleep seemed to deteriorate as well.
My main problem is that carbohydrates don't seem to do anything for me, even when I take them with B1 and B3. If I can't properly oxidize glucose, my thyroid function probably won't improve either, but I just can't seem to get my body to use glucose efficiently. I'm planning to try a higher dose of B1, and if that doesn't help, I'm considering trying 160+ mg of aspirin. All the sugar I take are turning into lactic acid and I'm probably burning fat instead of sugar.
-
@ridethelightning You could have 0 pufa in your body and all that honey will turn into lactic acid anyway with that diet, milk and gelatin alone can not sustain any substantial amount of honey, milk alone can hardly be self sustaining food specifically if you begin with subpar nutrients reserves. Deviated septum does not necessary lead to mouth breathing, nose congestion can lead to it, a person can have deviated septum and still great nose breathing.
B1 effects can depend on other elements, such as C, manganese, K1
Your teeths state can tell alot:

My daughter had this. It turned out she had a very bad case of a divided septum. At night she actually woke up multiple times and her oxygen dropped significantly. She however wasn't aware of it since she thought she slept deeply.
After a sleep study this was confirmed.
She is still in the process of deciding what to do. Either surgery of the septum or one of those sleep machines. Don't know what they're officially called.
She was always exhausted probably due to poor sleep. -
@happyhanneke Same here. It's pretty common, and a lot of people say the surgery is life-changing. I think it may have messed up my thyroid as well, especially when combined with a high PUFA intake. Mouth breathing at night is probably causing low CO₂, so I tried baking soda, but it didn't make any difference. Does eating carbs before bed help her sleep? Or is she unable to oxidize glucose properly, just like me? I'm going to try a higher dose of B1, and if that doesn't work, I'll probably try aspirin or thyroid supplements.

@user1 Almost all of my back teeth have tiny cavities, but they're still pretty small for now. I'm in my mid 20s.

Do you usually need a leak when you get out of bed or later? And do you remember your dreams?

i suggest making an inverse post:
“I always have a good sleep and am always energized during the day”

@ridethelightning do you have some degree of dental hard plaque/tartar, behind your 2 bottom front teeths per exemple? Tiny cavities started with "ray peat diet" or you already had it prior?

I could do a mediocre and sometimes. That's a good mantra though.

ThinPicking no

I"m not sure of these things. She does also have a thyroid issue and is taking cynomel. This improved her well being and her hair loss reversed.
She's still in the process of figuring out what the best step would be with the deviated septum. The sleep study is still pending. Maybe she will chose surgery but it's not her first choice. -
@happyhanneke Is she scared of surgery? I heard that it's a simple one.
-
@ThinPicking I've seen you speak of osmolarity I believe before. Please can you expand on water and teeth? I am in fairly good health but to tell the truth my teeth are awful: broken and full of holes.
I always relate it to drinking acidic drinks most hours of the day and neglecting to rinse my mouth afterwards.
