Hate to sound like a parent, then you need to go to bed earlier.
I haven't used an alarm in about a decade because I value sleep. Most of us live in a constant state of sleep deprivation and it is one of the worst things you can do for your health.
Ah great point. I'll go tell my clinical insomnia all we need is more sleep.
I'm sorry you have that and truly hope you find an effective treatment, but the vast majority of people who are sleep deprived do not suffer from medically induced insomnia.
And I'll tell my landlord to cut my rent in half so I don't need two jobs.
go to bed earlier if you can't fall asleep then go to bed at 7 or 6 pm after 2hrs or 3hrs you will fall asleep goddammit
I'm pretty sure chronic lack of sleep has started impacting my memory and ability to perform consistently on some cognitive tasks
I don't doubt it.
I remember reading experiments where being awake for 24 hours impacts the ability to drive more than a blood alcohol level of 0.05 and by 36 hours it is 0.15.
Are you telling me it's not healthy to sleep 4 hours for most of the week then like 16 on the weekends?
I know you are not serious but you cannot make up sleep debt. Crashing like this on the weekends just makes it worse.
Allow me to introduce myself
It's 4:14, I need to be up to look after my daughter at 7. 👌🥱🫠
That's how I know I would be a bad parent. If I go to bed at 4am, there's nothing nor no one that would make me stand up at 7am
Yeah I thought the same, but I think I'm doing a good job! Doing great at looking after her, not so great at looking after myself.
Nah that's terrible. Gotta bump up those weekend numbers, think you can do 20 a day?
But what shall I do; The Talos Principle is too addicting.
