What age does nightfall start? - #59180
I am really confused about something I have been experiencing lately. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night feeling weird, like there’s a heaviness or pressure in my abdomen. I think I read somewhere that these might be nightfall symptoms, but I'm not sure. Like, how do you even know if you've got nightfall? I mean, it seems kinda embarrassing to talk about, but I can't shake off this feeling. I have heard it happens to guys around my age, which is like, what, 20-something? But is that the main cause of nightfall? I don’t know, it’s just been bothering me so much and I don't know if it's normal or if I should be worried. Some days I feel more tired than others, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s connected or just all in my head. Also, I really want to control nightfall naturally, but what does that even mean? Are there specific things I can do to help myself? Any tips would be super appreciated, I just wanna get this sorted out and feel more like myself again. Thanks!
