just a sleepy girl trying to find her people 😴🤍

hi! im lindsay, and I want to find my sleepy people - people who love, talk about and need sleep as much as I do!!!

I've been dealing with idiopathic hypersomnia for as long as I can remember. Basically, it's a fancy term for a sleep disorder that causes me to feel super tired during the day, even after I've slept for hours on end.

I first realized something was actually seriously wrong in college when I started sleeping 10+ hours a night and taking three-hour naps during the day. But honestly, I've always been tired – even as a kid. To cope, I started drinking coffee in eighth grade and even experimented with energy drinks/shots in high school to stay awake between school, after school activities, and social events.

Sometimes it’s easy for me to let it get me down because people often see me as lazy, unmotivated or disinterested, and it can be really hard for me to reach my goals, but despite all the struggles, I'm determined to find ways to work with my disorder, not against it. So, I'm big into wellness and always trying new things to live my best life.

Okay lemon8 - do your thing and connect me with my ppl!!! Would love to get to know other people on their own wellness journeys, growing at their own pace and living inspiring lives 🤍💤🥱
