Exactly, and you shouldn't feel bad about it. In my opinion, it's a balancing act to achieve a better QoL. Ibuprofen has certain risks, but I damn well take one when I have a migraine!
Exactly.. And I don't feel bad but many others do and definitely shouldn't. Though I can't lie, headlines like these are frustrating, because I'm probably never going to have good sleep. Constantly learning about all the damage and extra risk lack of/bad sleep (or stress! ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ) brings for so many other illnesses becomes old fast..
I know what you mean, but sometimes you got to do the best you can for now. It's better than the alternative, right? And maybe a better alternative will come along.
