Summary
Writing in early 2022, Ocean 72881 described exhaustion that followed exercise and poor sleep. They found that working out more helped despite the exhaustion, and CBD helped them sleep better. Starting with walking and a low-impact Peloton bike helped them regain muscle. Some days they still could not move off the couch, but on the days they could they went for it, and they said ashwagandha had helped loads.
