Same thing happened to me Anon.
Try this:
Exercise
-at least 20 minutes a day, but if you do an hour 3-4 times a week your results will be better.
Sleep
-make sure you get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. There is no sleep debt, you can't sleep 4 hours one night than 12 to make it up the next. The biggest thing about sleep is making sure that everyone night, even weekends and holidays, you go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time.
Sobriety
-if you do drugs, quit. If you drink, keep it to less than 4 drinks a week, better if none. Also, stop smoking or vaping. As for caffeine, don't have any after 1 o'clock.
Breathing and meditation
-try Wim Hof breathing, practice meditation. YouTube "open monitoring meditation" tonight. Easy and quick, it will take less than 20 minutes and will help.

Read comedy, you should find some books worth rereading especially given some time apart from having read them. I imagine you either don't read a lot or don't enjoy reading enough. I don't think I've ever rewatched a movie since I was a kid but some literature is timeless.

at least you're trying to 'get it'.
Half of the people here are speedreaders or God forbid, disgusting audiobook users, who only care about adding another name to their list of read books.

Yeah if I'm going to read something, I might as well do it right. I might go at a snail's pace, especially if it's a dense text, but dammit, do I get it. If it's something I plan to read again sometime then it's not a big deal if I miss some stuff. But why else would one read, you know, other than to partake in the witnessing of art or to form a basis for their own intuitions?

You are ahead of 95% of this board, if they don't get it they just start a thread bitching about what a shit and meaningless book it is because it could never be that they just did not get it.
