I used to wake up every day and be groggy as hell, slowly waking up mentally while my body was screaming at me to get the day started.
Now I wake up every day and my eyes snap open. In mentally 100% after 10 seconds. But my body is slow. It's stiff. It aches. I have to soak in a jet tub to loosen back up. After an hour, I feel immortal all over again.
But where as before I didn't slow down until 24-36 hours awake....and even then I could fight through it. Now I'm dragging 18 hours in. I can't hold my eyes open. I get fatigued and grumpy.
Barely in my 30s.

I remember the exact moment:
Chose sleep over sex for the first time in my life.
It had been a grueling stretch of days and nights at work. Still. Even in the fog of my weariness, I remember thinking to myself, "WTF has happened to me?!?!?"

Same here.
Used to be that after 24-30 hours of inhouse call, an hour nap plus a big cup of coffee and I was good to go.
Now if I don't get at least 6 hours of sleep, the first thing I think when my alarm goes off in the morning is "only X hours until i get to go back to sleep."
Actually the first thing I think is "frick" but you know what I mean.
