The reason I'm fat is because of 12 years of the worst insomnia imaginable.

I'm still a f***ed up person when I sleep regularly, but I'm not chronically exhausted and there are breaks in the elevated stress hormones. I'm taking a med now that finally is helping me sleep and as expected, I'm moving more and eating less. Of course the drug has the side effects mentioned in the title of this thread, so....yeah.
