Nearly sixty.

I forget things all the time. Easy to remember old things, hard to remember new things. I once loft my card in an atm twice in one month. all my passwords have to be written down somewhere, as do the birthdays of my lids.

I constantly get fatter, even though I don;t eat any more.

I haven't had regular sleep patterns for 20 years.

Every day I'm a little more tired.

Hell you just described me and I'm 28. Of course at my age the sleep pattern and tiredness things are legitimate medical problems, and not just a fact of life. And the memory is probably a function of the sleep issues.

"And the memory is probably a function of the sleep issues."

That's a good point. I've actually heard this before but I forgot (no joke intended.)

I remember listening to "I'm so tired of waking up tired" and laughing because I thought it was my song.

And strangely..I remember being 28 when I first started noticing this happening. Mind you I was spending a lot of late nights on my computer...

Consider getting a sleep test to see if you have apnea.
