I’m 49 and haven’t noticed much. I’m in better shape now than in my 20s and 30s so that could be obscuring things. It does take longer to recover from an all nighter at work than it use to so there’s definitely that.


Do you keep physically active? I am a couple of years older. The main thing I notice is that I want more sleep and have trouble getting it.And the grey hair.


I don’t have a workout regime but I do walk a lot. I have adhd so can only take staring into the abyss of dancing colors (my laptop) for so long. I wfh and there’s a coffee shop and small grocery store that is a 30min walk round trip from my house. I make that walk maybe 2 or 3 times a day.

I don’t sleep that well but am working on it. Ever since I had my first kid (15 years ago) the slightest noise or interruption in the middle of the night and I’m 100% awake ready to rock. I was the night duty parent for both kids so that’s where that comes from I assume.

In my 20s and early 30s I did a lot of drugs and was blackout drunk two nights per weekend. Having kids and a no nonsense/assertive wife put an end to that with the side effect of dramatically improving my health and career.
