You use me from your head to your toes.
The more you use, the thinner it grows.
For years I was not often used,
But not using me now is not excused.

What am I?

DarkWolf OP April 21st, 2019

I made an original riddle about 7Cups. It's hard to make originals, so forgive me possible flaws. Sometimes it's just more interesting to have some (decent) originals over only classics some people might have heard many times before.

Enough talk, here it is:

October and november can fly by, while December can go so slow.
Stars can be found in july, just so you know.

It's not my opinion, these facts are cold.
It was chosen at random, or so we are told.

Can you figure out what I'm talking about?
Or is your head filled with confusion and doubt?

I weaken all men for hours each day.
I show you strange visions while you are away.
I take you by night, by day take you back,
None suffer to have me, but do from my lack.

What am I?

You are basically correct. The intended answer was sleep, but that's basically in line with that. Well done yes

Thousands of orphans who lost their old home,
found by others who have lost their own.
To hide a secret that is obvious to all,
becomes even more obvious when the host falls.
