What do you guys do to nourish yourselves?

I’m genuinely curious as I know that cooking can be hard while having POTS because most of it has to do with standing and attending to food. I often feel bad about how I eat because I usually just buy frozen food to throw into the air fryer. What does everyone else do?

I’ve always been a light sleeper and not sleeping more than like 7 or 8 hours a night. Ever since having POTS, I sleep 9-10 hours a night and lay in bed for a total of 12 hours a night because I like to relax by getting in bed an hour early and staying in bed for an hour in the morning. I can’t just pop out of bed anymore, it feels like I’m wearing weights tied to my whole body and waking up is just not refreshing no matter what. People always make fun of me for going to bed early but underestimate how much sleep that I need to actually get through the day. Anyone else?
