Plate Challenge 2025 30 October 2025 - 06:11 AM
In the latest phase of the Unaging Challenge, early adopters have been tracking their diet. And nope, not the usual calorie counting. But by hours gained…or lost.
These categories have earned the participants additional hours:
- Unsaturated Fats: +261 hours, or eleven days.
- Whole grains: +126 hours, or around five extra days.
- Legumes and beans: +94 hours, or 4 days of added life.
- Fish: +56 hours, another 2 days.
Meanwhile, these two foods showed the opposite effects.
- Red meat: -42.9 hours
- Sugar: - 4 hrs
Check out how you could also track your longevity hours from your favorite food groups.

Cognitive decline and anhedonia after Piracetam + 1 month of sleep deprivation 22 October 2025 - 02:31 AM
Hey everyone,
I really need some help or insight from people who might’ve gone through something similar, because I honestly don’t know what’s happening to my brain.
Everything started back in July 2024.
I was taking Piracetam (800mg to 1600mg) along with CDP Choline (250mg) (sometimes Alpha GPC [300mg]).
At first, the combo felt amazing — great focus, creativity, and energy (I’m a music producer).
But after some days, I started noticing mania during the day and deep depression at night.
Despite that, my music creativity felt enhanced (maybe placebo).
Then things started getting worse:
I began tripping over words when speaking.
I couldn’t do simple math or think clearly.
I felt mentally numb and zombie-like.
Around that time, I also went through severe sleep deprivation for about a month (sleeping from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) along with strong depression.
I tried going back to Piracetam a few times because it temporarily restored my creative drive, but each time it ended in mania or depression.
By May 2025, after another heavy depressive episode, I decided to quit it completely.
Since then (months later), I’ve been dealing with complete anhedonia —
no sadness, no happiness, just emotional flatness.
No anxiety (which used to be part of my daily life), but also no motivation, no creativity.
I make constant mistakes when writing or speaking, which never happened before.
Even my English skills have declined (I’m a native Spanish speaker).
Before all this, I had mild chronic depression (dysthymia), but I could still function, work, and create.
Throughout my life I’ve tried several antidepressants:
- Venlafaxine (3+ years)
- Bupropion, Vortioxetine, Fluoxetine, Escitalopram, Desvenlafaxine (each less than 2 months) Also methylphenidate and modafinil for ADHD-like or Asperger symptoms (not fully diagnosed).
Since August 2025, I haven’t touched Piracetam again (last time I tried for 3 days, depression came back hard). Right now I only take:
- Caffeine + L-Theanine
- Omega-3
- B-Complex
- Probiotics
But I still feel emotionally flat, uncreative, and cognitively slower than before.
If anyone has experienced something similar — whether from Piracetam, choline, sleep deprivation, or severe depression — and managed to recover, please share your experience.
I just need to know there’s hope that the brain can heal from this.

Considering adding this to my stack. Already taking Neutropic mind+Alpha GPC. Any thoughts on neuriva, safety, or other memory supplements would be greatly appreciated!!!
